Comments

[transmittable]

I don't think I will. But I do. Different people, different experiences, different choices.

[nachetanya]

Yes, everyone will have their own perspective.

[ . . . Mmm. ]

... On that note, what do you think about Wesker? Undying?

[transmittable]

He's an interesting man. We've had a few conversations.

I wouldn't trust being alone in a room with him.

[nachetanya]

I agree to both of those, actually.

[ She nods. ]

Honestly, I find myself agreeing more with him than with many others here. But at the heart of the matter, as you saw at the end of the trial, I believe we come from completely different perspectives.

[transmittable]

That's not surprising to find. Everyone has different faces, different sides they show the world. While you may connect on some level, a disconnect's unsurprising.

[nachetanya]

It isn't, I know, but it is frustrating.

[ she inhales, exhales... ] I think he might be the closest to me among the rest of us here to being an "enemy," like I told you before. I hope it doesn't come to that, though.

[transmittable]

What would you do if it does?

[nachetanya]

[ She sighs. ]

... That also depends on the circumstances. If his own patience gives out, then I'll have to defend myself. And if my own falters, or some other circumstance I can't foresee happens...

I'll have to be careful of him.

[transmittable]

Be careful. ...All of you should be careful. It's only going to get harder from here on out, and I assume that'll mean testing everyone's patience.

[nachetanya]

What do you make of his conclusion, that compassion is the enemy?

[transmittable]

I think...

We think it has some merit. We also think your conclusion did too. Situations change, responses change.

[nachetanya]

Yes, I--

[ ... There's a knock at the door. ]

... I'll have to speak more later. Goodnight?

[transmittable]

Goodnight. ...Sleep well.

[nachetanya]

[ That surprises her - and before she hangs up to get the door for her guest: ]

You as well.
