Ah, well... there really wasn't ever much to go on to believe he was on our side, I suppose.

[The widening of his smile makes her feel, for a moment, better- like there's something they can do to win after all. She almost smiles back, but instead squeezes his hand and pushes a little more energy into him, with Hecate chiding her all the while.]

...I'm glad no one was lost. There has been too much of that as is.

Yes. He may have his own reasons, but his general approach doesn't inspire any faith.

[Among other things, such as how he disguise the reason why he need energy from them. If Riki's more upfront about his motives, he probably won't get as many volunteers, but the relationship between residents and administrators won't be as strained. He lightly squeezes her hand back in response.]

Same. They might get revived afterwards...but we can't afford to waste any time.

[Especially when revivals seems to be taking longer than normal.]
