[we're so literate.

Once Vi joins her, the picture changes. Sure. But it's a less lonely picture. Rosamund takes her hand and softly brushes her thumb over her knuckles.]

It seemed like it could go that way, yeah. [She hesitates.] For my game, the possessions usually got obvious right by the end of it. Just in time to cast a vote. This time it's trickier.

[ they're still bandaged, but it doesn't seem like they hurt, at least. if anything, her shoulders ease at the motion. ]

... Did you talk to him at all, after?

[sweats in nat and i both dying after 4 comments in. Sometimes you do not get to boomerang the murderer]

I did. Yes. [She catches the softening. Takes comfort in it, for what little it's worth on these most terrible nights.] What about you?

[ help it's fine same for my thread with nat :bunsweat: ]

Yeah. It was - off. [ sighs. ] Not like I knew him very well, but it was so different.

...That's very common, you know. For the possessions.

[A beat.]

I mean, some of them are a lot more subtle than that. Ours was just...a rage. A very, very difficult to shake rage. [Her breath catches in her chest, and she looks away a moment.] But even when it looked like they were their own self, it wasn't really them. They couldn't describe why they did it properly. What they had been thinking.

And after they died, they all came to realize what had happened.

So. Maybe we don't know Boothill. Maybe there could be a part of him that has that sort of malice. But I doubt that's the whole story, Vi. I doubt it very much.
