Oh -
[well, yona's heading into the planetarium... she's got an apple in one hand! she doesn't seem to be expecting anyone else to be here, but. here emet is!]
...Emet-Selch, right? Sorry, am I interrupting?

...if it was me this week, he would have been welcome to try.
[she'd have kicked his ass! hypothetically. jeanne did that pretty well, too.]
I can't really blame him for not wanting to just stand there and take it, but...
[that had definitely been hard to watch.]

Even if it were his doing after all, it wouldn't have been terribly surprising. Not everyone is willing to simply die, guilty or not.
[it's something inherent to many people, that they either wish to live or just won't go quietly.]
But it certainly almost caused quite the mess.

...that's true.
[yona sighs. heavily.]
I can understand wanting to limit the bloodshed, but I can't understand yelling at someone for being prepared. Who knows how much blood would have been shed if he'd come out of that fighting? Wasn't watching and doing nothing bad enough last week?

Had no one been prepared to incapacitate him, someone less capable could have been taken off their guard.
[one of the shoujos or shounens who was too upset to actually fight back-- and then it really would have become a problem. he exhales a sigh of his own, with a shake of his head.]
There really are too many here who simply are not suited to this pressure. At times, the best action is not what is kindest.

In most circumstances it would be a good thing, that people aren't used to this sort of pressure. It means they've led easier lives.
[she sighs.]
But I guess that's not so good when they're stuck in a situation like this. I wish they didn't have to be.
...they'll learn, but I'm worried that they might learn too late.

They won't break. They'll learn.
...if I could learn, they definitely can.

I was probably worse than them. If this was a year ago, I would definitely be one of the people we're complaining about.

I learned in much less than a full year. But if I hadn't learned quickly, a year ago, I'd probably be dead right now. And I think my circumstances were probably less dire than this.
[so... people will learn. sink or swim.]
People are capable of a lot more than they think they are. They just have to recognize that, first, so they can actually improve instead of saying "I can't do it".

I'll try to. It will be better for everyone if they improve, right? I don't think anyone wants to see a repeat of this week.
...I don't know about that. It's one of those things where if they can't do it I'll probably get really annoyed, since I know firsthand it's supposed to be possible.
I guess we'll see what happens. All anyone can do is try - and if that doesn't work, I'll just have to figure out something else.
...mhm, you're probably right about that.
[but she's never been very good at giving up on people]

...thanks. See you around, I guess!
[well
she'll leave the planetarium and come back to make a wish to talk to a Leader later!]
