Tell me you have a lead. Something. Anything at all.

[mygoodsir]

I am following up on every suspicion that I have, I promise you.

[transponders]

I read about your expedition. I've read about all the cases like us. It makes me feel like I'm not uniquely fucked, you know?

Is it true? That you did what we did?

[mygoodsir]

Ate them, you mean?

Some did, yes.

[transponders]

We had someone who couldn't bring himself to do it. The assistant coach. he tried to jump off a cliff just for witnessing it. I convinced him not to. But in the end, he didn't make it.

The rest of us wanted to live. We would do anything we had to. That instinct hasn't left them. They're not far enough removed from it.

[mygoodsir]

Did you kill him, Misty? You or the others?

I don't want to see them hurt. Do you believe that?

[transponders]

No. Even near the end when he begged for it, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I believe you. If Shauna likes you, you must be good.

[mygoodsir]

I believe you.

I try. I do not always succeed.

[transponders]

Am I on trial?

Trying is more than a lot of people do.

[mygoodsir]

No.

I like to think we are all trying. We just make mistakes.

[transponders]

Some more than others.

[mygoodsir]

Well. Yes.

[dammit Misty why are you so charming]
