[ the vine and their whole body kind of... droops? a bit? ]

I do not see the distinction.

[counterclocked]

I guess it's just... Okay, so like. Let's take Luna and Ken as examples. Maybe based on their personality or soul or whatever, they were good choices.

[He hesitates for a moment, trying to find a way to explain this to them that might break through.]

And sure, nobody should be put in this situation, but if you're talking about a situation where people are definitely going to die, do you see why it's unfair to bring someone who's barely had a chance to live their life? Like, despite what people have told you, 11 is really young.

[cluedin]

[ .......... ]

And Luna is not young?

[ they seem especially baffled by this for some reason? ]

[counterclocked]

No, she definitely is, but - 25 is more than twice as old as 11.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

... Yes. [ they respond a bit like they think this is a test. ]

[counterclocked]

...Which means he's a lot younger than she is, and it's not a good thing that he's here. Which, yes, I know that it's not a good thing any of us are here, but it's worse for someone like him.

[cluedin]

Because he is young...er.

[ r...right ]

[counterclocked]

Yes! You got it.

[He looks unreasonably excited about this breakthrough.]

[cluedin]

[ they seem relieved hunter seems happy and nod ]

[counterclocked]

Like I said, though - I think we got this. It probably won't happen again.

[...]

So, what'll you do when you get to leave?

[cluedin]

[ the question seems to take them by surprise and they. stay quiet for a bit. ]

... Leave?

[ they're not questioning themselves getting to leave (well. not entirely) or repeating, they're just. they'll leave. that is the main thing on their mind. ]

[counterclocked]

...Right. Figure the rest out later, huh?

[cluedin]

[ they nod again ]

I leave or we die. That is the end.

[ we, as in, the house and them both. ]
