You know, I hadn't even considered that time might be a factor. I thought the game would keep going until we either found a way out or until one team was left.
[He would vastly prefer the former.]
What do you think will happen if we run out of time without finding a solution?
I don't got any kind of special insight. I just know that if we are gonna make it, we need to try to work together, right?
[He goes quiet for a long minute, and then he'll say.]
The Chuuya I knew - I mean, I haven't told you one true thing about him so far. But what's true is he did a pretty good job of figuring things out. He pretty much had the major players in the game pinned a week or so in.
But what he did with that information. . . I think he regretted it, after.
He killed some people. Some people we, uh, both thought were pretty bad. I wasn't judging him for it -- I was more impressed he'd found them out the way he had.
Because it's more complicated than 'good' or 'bad', right?
[Chuuya at age 15 can understand that much, at least. He still has some growing to go before he's the same Chuuya Magnus knew, but there's the start of that kind of growth in him.]
It's really easy to just say 'this person is bad, let's kill them' or 'this person would kill me, so I'll kill them first.' But that's how we get five deaths in one week, yeah?

[At least, if the length of all their previous games is any indication.]
So the clock is ticking. But the more people who die, the faster that count down, don't you think?
Maybe it has to be one, so our job needs to be to solve why last week it was four and the week before was five.

What do you mean? Was it a "once he knew it, it changed how he looked at people" kind of thing?

[But.]
But by the end, I think he wished he hadn't.
