With the weekend's latest tragedy, a strange mood has descended over Cartesio. What happened was unprecedented, and perhaps that's why the already decreasing hostility from the townsfolk comes to a complete halt. Could it be the strange circumstances? Bolin's desperate plea? Last week's peaceful Wednesday? Some combination? Whatever the reason, it's clear that the Sergeant's iron fist around the town has loosened. While the residents aren't jumping to interact with you, there's no graffiti, no new broken windows.
Cartesio is confused...but open to explanation, for perhaps the first time.
Still, while the town seems amiable, almost accepting again, there's little to chase away the knowledge that the Sergeant's tasks for you are near their end, and that means those without medals are doomed to their fate.
Or does it? After everything that's turned around, is it possible for you to claw your way out of here as well?

Going inside?
[He's just going to peer around himself. Did they... uh... paint over Clarisse's spray paint dick or what.]
no subject
...They also said the Sergeant went over there, and he's going to act.
[Which means they need to, too.]
no subject
They told me he plans on brainwashing them all like he did with Sakura's original group.
[But he's giving the refinery a more serious glance and begins heading inside. Looks like he's having the same thought about the need to poke around as Kino.]
How do you think they're getting information on their side?
no subject
Maybe they've been finding clues over there? Things that they can find when they don't have townspeople to worry about. Plus, if the Sergeant went over there himself... there's a chance he told them exactly what he plans to do with them then.
no subject
Nobody stops them from getting into the refinery, but it doesn't seem like there's anything out of place over here. Rean seems to be okay too, if a bit antsy.
There's a feeling of anticipation in the air and nobody knows why. It's like everyone knows something's going to happen in the near future]
no subject
But someone would have to be leaving those clues for them to find in the first place. Someone other than the Sergeant who can vanish at will. [A beat.] Gabe maybe....
We still haven't figured out who's been planting clues for us to find here, for that matter.
[Which is... annoying.]
You getting the feeling the people are tense about something?
no subject
[Like some of their cases, even.]
But if someone's really planting them... there's two possible reasons for that.
[One possibly concerning, but another a bit more... hopeful.]
...Mm. I agree. Something's up here.
