Well, we know there have been some people who have been compelled by a lie, something they believe up until the end of trial. That hasn't seemed to be the case with Rupert, Otome, and Byleth.

Right. So, I guess one question is just... what's the difference? Why compel someone to murder and believe something until the end of trial, and then whatever is happening with that group. Is it the same thing that's causing both? Was Sieghart's killer affected by something different than what they're dealing with?

I have wondered whether . . . the compulsion we're describing is something like what we talked about, the script. Or whatever wants us following the script.

Whereas what is happening with that group is trying to avoid kills that are following the compulsion?

Maybe...

I also wonder why the compulsion for the other kinds just drop at the end of trial.

The trial is the point of it, perhaps? The compulsion gets them far enough that they won't simply confess and spoil the fun?

Yeah... I just wonder if there's a specific reason why it just drops then. So that they feel bad after?

Maybe? If the point is drama, then. . . that causes more of it?

I guess, yeah.

[ she rubs at her face. ugh. there's frustration. ]

You'd think everything else is dramatic enough already...
katzepaw: (white feather)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-07-12 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I don't know. It is all odd, and I don’t think Otome only has me questioning more of what I imagined.

Has anyone from your dorm gotten the hint yet?

. . . Beauregard.

It was a script cover with more red writing, saying 'don't you want to stay forever' and then on the back it says 'finish the story.'

Yeah...

I guess we were supposed to leave at the end of summer, according to... what we knew before...
