Aika says that the old game that Nahida's message mentioned involved someone killing every week, so that's why they might be trying to do it here, too.

[ pulls a face. ]

Either they have a weird sense of what's fun, or there's some other reason behind it...

Aika says it's not for entertainment. I wish I knew what the point was.

...

If not entertainment... then I really don't like the idea they think this has to happen, somehow.

I wonder if...

[her brows furrow a little]

...the circumstances aren't quite the same, but... I wonder if maybe how things are set up to happen... might generate some sort of "energy"?

...most things have some kind of reason, even if the reason isn't one that we're easily able to understand, or even if they're arbitary.

I don't think it would hurt to understand why the people who were giving the instructions for this Game felt that it needed to be done the way it was. If we can understand their mindsets and their motivations, we can better predict what else they might throw at us, and prepare for it.

[Kaveh nods, looking grim.]

I was told it was strange that this one didn't seem to have anything put in place, initially. Supposedly. But since we were so clearly ready to defy the rules, they intervened.

[Or something. Ugh.]
