[You are in a generously sized room divided into two unequal sections. The largest half is all stone, albiet lavishly decorated with tapestries in your team color. All of them depict a lion gorged lion sprawling on a heap of mangled bodies. The floor is plain in comparison, save for your team's zodiac symbol—perhaps measuring 6 foot by 6 foot—gouged deep and smooth into the stone.

The smaller section is blocked off by a solid wall of what looks like thick, strong glass. There are no visible entrances.

Embedded into one of the walls is a large screen showing this information.]

Yes.

[Pause.]

Of course, actual reluctance is preferred, but better to fake it then seem totally unaffected.

But there is a more emotional reason. If you took down all the people we didn't care about personally, when the next round comes around, we have to choose them. That becomes a great deal harder to deal with and would cause discord in the team as well.

I won't make any of you pick someone you like. I remember caring too, you know.

...just being sure. [Puts a hand on his shoulder.] It can be a bit hard to tell. Sometimes these things pull surprising things out of people.

[ you keep doing that ]

Arguing tires me out, anyway.

[A light laugh.] Ah, very true.
