[ his voice is quiet, like he hates to admit it, but... ]
I can't say that it's never happened before. There have been plenty of times where our teammates have decided fallen to the temptation and tried to stop us from carrying out history as it should be. But we are swords, and we will do our jobs, whatever it takes.
I think I understand. Sometimes you have to do what you think is best for the outcome you want. I get the feeling it'll be like that here, too, whether we want it to be or not.
You saw what happened with Polly. We had to pick one of our own to sacrifice because she changed everything and killed people. If the rules are true...this probably won't be the last time.
We're not the first ones to be here and go through this, but we don't have answers about what happened to that group. Some might think this is fake, but...I've never felt that. It's almost a little too real, even before demons came into the picture.
A time loop would make sense though. Something to fix before we can break out of it.
The question, then, is what it is that we’re meant to fix to escape. From the sound of it, we have to trust each other, but all the same… that can’t be all it is, right? There must be something that triggers the time loop.
I dunno. [And that's what bothers him, too.] If there's something someone among us is doing to make sure the loop continues that's one thing, but...how do you pinpoint that and find the person responsible? If this is a game of trust, something like that ensures we won't always trust each other.

Then you must really be good at your jobs. That's a pretty tempting thing to deal with.

It’s not like any of us want to see our old masters die, but... Yes, that’s about right.
...What is it you think we'll have to do, exactly?

[ and then demonic possession happens and complicates things. cool! ]
The rules, the broadcasts… What do you think of them? It’s like it’s happened before, like some kind of time loop.

[ HE UH
REALLY DOESN'T LIKE THAT ]
Then we have to find a way to trust one another despite that. It won't be easy, but I believe it's something we can do regardless.

...I'll see what I can learn about others and report back if anything seems out of line.
