someone saved you?
one of the doctors?

[then why why why didn't they save nat didn't they see she was the best of them didn't they want to keep that?]

i know who i am. what i've done.
i've never killed anyone. i wouldn't kill anyone.
this isn't the wilderness, and


before all that, i was a good person, i think.
a fucked up person, but a good one, deep down.
maybe i'm not that anymore, but i didn't kill anyone, tim.
none of us did.

[holyposition]

Yeah. Hawk.

I believe that you are. But the worst thing about this "game" is that it doesn't matter. Any of us could have done it.

I could have done the crucifixion ones. Ever since I died, it's been happening to me every month. I'm almost desensitized to it now. You could have stabbed someone. Harry could have butchered those people. What's in your heart, I don't think has anything to do with it. That's what makes it so hard.

[diarists]

if it was harry, would you send him to those cages?
people DIE there.
would you send him knowing he could die?

[holyposition]

We promised each other that if the evidence pointed to either of us, we wouldn't shy away from it. He feels terrible about the things he had to do when he was stranded, I know he wouldn't want to be forced to hurt anyone else. Neither do I.

I think the Alpha punished Saber for messing up and not finishing the job.

[diarists]

or for getting caught.
if you think i did it, then you gotta think real, real hard about whether you think i deserve to die for it.

[holyposition]

I don't.

I'll be honest with you, I had some suspicions. Because I knew you were the butcher when you were stranded. No offense - I've had to consider every angle.

But you can't magically compel people, or rip anyone's head off their shoulders, or magically cauterize anything. I think people are quick to look at your team because you're so tight and so defensive.

[diarists]

i think we have a right to be.
i mean, obviously.

i didn't hunt or kill, out there. i cut bear meat into rations and i made sure everyone had enough.

[holyposition]

I know. You've been coming under fire, hard. But you're tough. You'll be okay.

As far as I'm concerned, you're off the hook. There was too much magic involved.

[diarists]

yeah. we are.
dunno if anyone will ever talk to me again, but.

yeah?





thanks.

[holyposition]

I will. Promise.
