"Because she knew a Trial would drag out for, like, for months. Then everyone would be, you know, worried about that silliness instead of bears and sharks. And because she knew they messed up. Before? The first two times."
Not Lying means being Accountable, yo.

There's a shrug. Yeah, being mean is no fun. But someone has to do it. Someone has to make the sacrifice.
Because Interfector.
