WE ALL SEEK JUSTICE AND NOBODY IS OKAY

[tenrules]

[Another murder, another investigation, another trial, another execution. Unlike last time, it wasn't self-defense, and although they caught him, she's pretty sure nobody is happy. It was sentencing someone to death, after all.

Knowing that, Dlanor writes something on the back of profiles she took from the bulletin board, passing them under the doors. When in a hurry, use what you have, and those profiles will be back sooner or later, anyway]

Please come to the train station. Let's spend some time in each other's company, for our sake

[If you decide to come, you'll find whoever wrote that note has been working hard to make things somewhat nice. There's a few...whatever we all have been using as cups all this time...filled with milk -- evaporated milk with some water, it seems. Tastes almost like normal milk. Dlanor also brought a few twigs and a small piece of log from the sawmull, and seems to be currently trying to make a fire. Some warmth should be nice, right?

Come on, everyone, let's sit around this bunch of wood and strengthten our bonds]

[Watson can't find it in himself to be mad at someone who willingly did something horrible, to prevent others from doing the same or from losing their loved ones. Even if he doesn't fully agree with what the Narrator did, Watson will still be making a conscious effort to speak with him.]

How's being dead treating you, so far?

[There's not a lot of small talk options for a ghost, and its not like the Narrator is scandalized by blunt morbidity.]

[He shrugs.]

I was right, not missing food one bit.

[dearboswell]

To be fair, the only food you've really experienced here are basic rations and whatever "Twinkies" are.

[Watson's halfhearted grin fades, and he looks solemn.]

I'm. Not sure if it's the right thing to say here, but. Thank you. I sincerely hate what happened, and I feel awful for Angus and Mae, but what you did might have very well saved a lot of people those of us here love. Not to mention billions of strangers in all those worlds.

... If I had lost Holmes again, and known he was lost to me forever, I don't really know what I'd have done.

... You’re very welcome. I knew what I was doing was horrible and unforgivable, but...

I’m still not sure if I regret what I did, if only for all the lives that could have been spared.

[dearboswell]

Mmm.

I mentioned at the- the "sleepover"- that at the end of that particular case I spoke about, we let the murderer go free. It certainly wasn't the first or only time we took the law into our hands in such a way. If the victim was justifiably cruel, and the murderer was acting in vengeance- either for themselves or others. Or if their reason behind the act was to protect others... Things like that.

I don't know. I guess I'm saying... if Hux had still been alive this week, and you had taken him down instead, I feel that quite a few people wouldn't feel quite as bitter.

[onlyexplainit]

[He smiles a little bit.]

I'll admit, I lamented that Hux was already dead as he would have been the only one I would have went out of my way for. I'm not fond of hunting people down, but he was the only one I would have felt considerably less guilty about.
