From what I can glean from what we can see, playing the game is the worst that we could have done. With that and the various rooms in the Town Hall, there were many groups who had tried to do just that and... well, those rooms speak for themselves. Whatever the first game was -- whether it was Abigail or not -- it was just as brutal.
But whatever Abigail and that party did seems to be important somehow. They murdered wolves just for being wolves -- wasn't that what the prey did at the start? Find the wolves, nevermind why they do what they do.
[She taps the TV on some of Sharon's copied notes, shaking her head.]
Unfortunately, the actual diary entries... I can't make sense of those any more than the rest here. My expertise is with the battlefield and armies, not piecing together old history. If you have any insight, I'd like to hear it.
...But it's that message that makes me the most suspicious.
"They're all dead." Wouldn't that suggest a wolf's victory? But that means that the prey would have died for that, wouldn't it? And if it is a prey victory, does that mean the wolf has to get away at the trial, too? That would be an impossibility -- the trial would be a stalemate because both prey and hunter would know who each other are.
So what does that "wrong choice" mean? Was it the prey victory, if there was some special condition for the wolf to win besides the outnumbering? Or was it the victory for the pack?
Or was it, as Sharon suggested, playing the game at all? But how do we "be better than human?" Today proved that voting for yourself was not the right answer. Is abstaining? Or is it something else?
[Robin just sighs. So many questions, not enough answers.]
