But I don't even understand why you're making sacrifices, or who you're sacrificing to. And if sacrifices need to be made, why can't you just ask for volunteers?

[backspacing]

Because there's rules to how it works. Namely, it can't be adults. Only teenagers can be sacrificed.

[homeecspacecop]

[She didn't answer any of your questions.]

[Chuuta plows ahead.]

Why does it have to be teenagers? And not everybody here is a teenager, some of the kids are like, still in elementary school.

[backspacing]

Because that's what it has to be. That's what's required. Anyone between the ages of 11 and 18 will do. No older, no younger.

[homeecspacecop]

10 isn't old enough and 19's too old? [Chuuta doesn't say "that's stupid" but he's thinking it.]

[backspacing]

I didn't make the rule.

[But yes.]

[homeecspacecop]

[There aren't a lot of people that age.]

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make sense to only be picking people that age.

[And Drew's too old!]

Huh?

[Drew's been on Earth for four billion years.]

Oh! Really?

Counselor Red? Drew's like, four billion years old. That's way outside the age range.

[Drew's personality isn't that old, since the Monitalien reset when it transferred to Chuuta.]

[backspacing]

Drew isn't a camper. Drew can leave any time he wishes.

[But Chuuta can't.]

[homeecspacecop]

But whatever happens to me will happen to Drew too. I mean... he said he's... okay with the rocks because it isn't trying to get rid of him, but whatever sacrifice you're trying to make will involve him too.

[backspacing]

Then I suggest you survive, for his sake.

[homeecspacecop]

But, how? We're supposed to kill someone every single week, and I'm not... scary enough for people to treat me like a threat or avoid me, and Drew and I can defend ourselves but if we wind up... h-hurting someone that attacks us, we'll still die anyway.

[backspacing]

Why do you say that? Even if you hurt someone else, that's not a guarantee that you will die. Look at how Ichigo almost died for Talcott.

[homeecspacecop]

I couldn't let someone die for me! [RED THAT'S HORRIFYING]

[backspacing]

Then don't kill anyone, and you will be fine.

[homeecspacecop]

I won't but...

Why do we have to kill each other?

[backspacing]

You don't HAVE to kill each other. Just make it eight weeks without killing.

[She's not the one who does the motives bruh.]

[homeecspacecop]

And then what? It's not like we can just go home. We all... have to die at the end, dont we?
