[An echoing sigh.]

If you figure things out it's gonna look really bad and you can't let that freak you out, okay? You have to look closely at everything.

You and me both. [There's a frustrated noise.] I'm so tired of being useless. This isn't fair! We should have revived the rules so that nobody could kill anybody else!

Of course it wasn't. [Love...] It's why I don't want any of my followers killing anyone for my sake, or any part of this game.

[But right.] ...there's nothing you can do to change what happened to that girl, but maybe there's something you can do in the trial to keep everyone on track. How good are you at public speaking?

I need you to lead group discussions tomorrow. I know that doesn't make sense right now, but things are going to get out of hand really fast because, like, it's murder. So many of you have never dealt with this before and you're going to see things none of you should ever see. Your task will be to lead a group discussion based on a piece of evidence, and rule out if it is or isn't relevant to what's happening with the crime.

[Good luck, Zoe.]

Any. And if you can't, it's okay. I won't smite you for it or whatever, you just...have to trust me. Forty people might be hard to organize, but give them a path to follow and they'll figure it out.

Do you know how trials work? [That sounds a lot more sarcastic than they mean, they're genuinely asking.]

No that's not--I was being serious! [She sounds so distressed!!]

It's going to be like that. So you have to be prepared for what's coming. Trials are stressful and busy and I wish I could be there with you but I can't.

You're right. Things are going to get confusing and you're probably going to argue with people a lot. You'll be both judge and jury, and you won't always have witnesses to call to the stand.

Can't really say. But it's totally messed up and I wish I could fix it.

I tell them that on a daily basis, don't worry.
