No, I'm thinking more along the lines that-- they didn't necessarily want to kill someone helpless, or who was less capable, but they didn't want too much of a risk to themselves. The stronger their opponent is, the more likely they'll be hurt in ways they can't hide, after all.
Oh. [oh...no okay that does, in fact, make more sense.] ...when you put it that way, the options are more limited. They probably weren't expecting Sieghart to be able to fight as long as he did, but...the way it ended was pretty messy.
[dude was literally almost split in half. who. how. what the fuck.]
I compared it with the chainsaw just to be sure. The wound itself wasn't jagged or anything so it's too hard to say if it was something else before it was Sieghart's sword. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was something else before that.
[...but yeah. he frowns pretty heavily there.]
We're getting to the point where we've all been here long enough that whoever's next is going to hurt somebody pretty bad. There's no getting around that.
What, that part of the show is seeing how far we can go before people break from their sadness? [it's kind of growled because he's getting pissed about it, but you know.]
...those papers did talk about..."lifelong friendships, heated competition, rivals to lovers, lies and deceit, steaminess and hot-blooded intensity." It could be part of the point.
...it's not that I want anyone to have to go up there. The fact that we have to execute our own friends...that's not something most people should ever have to do. But there are also some people here that I want to see up there much less than others. Is that selfish of me?
...no, I don't think that it is. I think it's only natural for you to look at the people you're closest to and just-- want them to stay safe, because it's going to have to be someone but it doesn't have to be them.
You can feel that way and still not want anyone to be forced into this at all.
Like I said. This isn't something most people should ever have to deal with. It's something I've wanted to ask about for a while...if there's some way we can choose an executioner ourselves. Take volunteers. Something like that.
We don't even know how people are picked as it is, but if we could intervene ourselves it might make things easier.

...it makes you wonder if his killer knew how bad it'd shake up the rest of the dorm.

With that logic, that just makes Sieghart another number. [a quota to be met, if you will.]

[it just-- feels more likely that he was taken down before being impaled by that giantass sword.]
With those limited options, though, if the trend continues, then-- to be honest with you, I don't like the possibilities.

I really do keep coming back around to wondering if that isn't part of the point.
