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?

[ that's her feelings. her real, true, honest feelings. ]
But I don't want anybody to die anymore, either! If we can all go home, I want it to not be because someone did another murder! The possibility, like you said might be there, but it's just a possibility, right? There has to be a way. A way nobody else has to die.

But that's also why we have to consider not only a peaceful solution, but a violent one as well. Actions have consequences, and it's possible we will have to make choices between people's lives again.
That's why I'm telling you now. Consider the possibilities very carefully. What will you do in this or that circumstance? It's better to prepare yourself now so you don't freeze with indecision later.

[ her words are firm. ]
I can't... [...] I've always been standing on the sidelines, unable to stop anything. I want to do something. I want to save everyone, too. But I won't do it if it means I have to hurt people to do it.

Okay. But refusing to defend with force can lead to sacrifices, too.
Just keep it in mind.
