Does... does the town often drone people for no reason? This is... this is... I don't even know. How can this happen? Nadia was one of the nicest people in town, she... she never bothered anyone, never hurt anyone..._{it's not fair... what if she doesn't...}

I-I mean is that it then? Even if we DO get along with this town and its rules, we might just droned anyway?! For no reason whatsoever? Am I just supposed to sit around and wait for them to brainwash the rest of us permanently too? I don't get it! What do they want from us?! What are we supposed to do?


[There's a pause as he sighs and rubs his forehead.]


...I-I'm sorry it's just... _{why couldn't they have done it to someone else...}


[The phone is hung up.]

[He sighs.] You're right sir. I... I need to stay more focused. I've been too distracted with everything I've got going on. I guess... this is the reminder I needed.

Losing focus sets anyone at odds even with the most noble of intentions. You are right to be angry, and I am not here to judge.

Right... I'll... I'll get it together. I'm sorry.

You will be fine. You have nothing to be sorry for. A watchman never should apologize for his actions. Only in times when he is proven wrong should he apologize.
