I think that it could be possible.

People kill for a lot of different reasons, and we might not always understand them.

[aubins]

... That puts a disturbing twist on things, doesn't it?

[dotcom]

It does.

But hopefully, things won't get as complicated as that here.

[aubins]

Hopefully so.

[ when you're distrusting anyway and then you have to like. do the whole friends and enemies just as close as each other thing? terrible. ]

[dotcom]

Well, let's just focus on doing our job before we overcomplicate things.

[aubins]

...

[ looks... up. ]

I don't know, we're doing a very good job of overcomplicating things as is.

[dotcom]

No.

[ closes eyes ]

But I'm generally tired of being wrong.

[aubins]

That's one way of putting it. Let's try and catch someone belatedly, or actually catch someone on the week they killed next time.

[dotcom]

Preferably the latter. There's still a lot we don't really know how it works that a killer could answer.

[aubins]

We don't know a lot about the Avatars and what limitations they're under as well. [ ... ] I think that might be more important than we currently think?

[dotcom]

They do seem to have influence over this place, even if it's not intentional.

[aubins]

It's less that. You've noticed how they get pretty cagey when it comes to certain questions? It's not even that they're just refusing to answer, I get the impression they just can't.

[dotcom]

There's definitely something more going on here.

... which, honestly, was obvious. You don't get wishes for free, and indulging isn't even that much of a price.

[aubins]

The problem is, I don't feel any closer to knowing what that something is. And if it's putting the Avatars at risk too...

[ well. he's fond of a few of them, you know? ]

Then it's dangerous. Which, like you said, is obvious.

[dotcom]

Have you been looking around?

[aubins]

Not yet. I plan to though. There's more places to look than there was before, I'm just trying to narrow it down.

[dotcom]

[ he nods ]

You should. Maybe when we see what opens next week.

[aubins]

Have you explored some areas then?

[dotcom]

The jail cell gave me a weird... vision. Like a memory? I know that apparently someone else who looked there got a completely different one though.

[aubins]

Ah, so there are little things out there. All right, I'll keep it in mind when the new floor opens.

[ hm. ]

What was the memory?

[dotcom]

The memory was of a church. Whoever it was... they were tied up, and were getting beaten by something really badly. It seems like they were captured for a while.

In the memory, it actually felt like I was getting hit, but I wasn't injured when it ended.

[aubins]

[ huh. lovely. ]

You couldn't see who, or who was attacking the person?

[dotcom]

They were getting beaten by something like a pipe.

[aubins]

[ ..... yikes. ]

In a church?

[dotcom]

[ he nods ]

It wasn't a really pleasant memory.
