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...}

Seems that way… I just wish I knew what they wanted from us…

Suffering?

..... I guess so. But how long can they keep this up? There's people here who've been here for over a year already!

Consider this: Some entities I am familiar with can keep up far worse events for a thousand years.

They may be able to keep this up a long while indeed.

.... I... I certainly hope that's not the case here. But people come and go so quickly here, that I suppose we really don't have any idea how long this has been happening, do we?

Indeed - for all we know, all the drones we see were people who came here a long time ago, by the same method we did.

That's what I was thinking. I feel bad for how cruely some people treat them... you never know when that might be you.
