Everything's getting worse. Rose Nylund and Frasier Crane murdered Jughead Jones during the event Jughead worked so hard to organize. Given some of the townspeople were in attendance, it didn't give a good impression -- if the visitors did this when trying to be good people and get along with Cartesio, then how will they behave once they get into destroying everything? The cruel method of Jughead's death also left everyone quite horrified, too.
That may be why it's no surprise the town's quiet unrest is slowly turning into real, tangible fury.
During the week, from time to time stones break some of the windows of the motel, looking outside shows a random passerby running away. Graffiti is left on the walls: 'SEE IF YOU LIKE THIS' 'MURDERERS' 'YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY US ALL', and other similar messages. Some of the store owners hesitate when the visitors approach, but they don't refuse service because money is always nice.
The Sergeant's pervasive influence is starting to cover not only you, but also the entire town of Cartesio. After all, everything that's happening to you and the motel? It's the result of what you and the other visitors have done.
In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and
the maps have been updated once again.

[He's kind of big on complicated strategies. He realizes he's probably going too in depth about something that includes a lot of "what ifs" and decides he should probably spare her the rant.]
...well. Hopefully something like that won't be necessary, but if it is, we can come up with something I'm sure.

[She doesn't look disinterested by what he's said, though, as she glances away for a moment.]
Do you think about that kind of stuff a lot? I know it mentions that you're good at it in the guestbook.
no subject
[And he's been putting more thought into it lately, now that things are taking an even greater turn for the not so good.]
The Armed Detective Agency is a bit unusual. We all have different abilities, but in my case this is sort of thing is where I'm most useful to them. So I've been giving our situation here a lot of thought as well. Whatever it comes down to, I'll do my best to help.

[If she's hesitant about bringing it up, she tries not to let it show.]

[He’s had time to examine it now. It still puzzles him, but he’s not unaware anymore.]
...that’s never been an issue for me before. It’s... troubling.
no subject
[The skepticism in her voice is clear, though she continues on shortly.]
Well, there must be a reason it started now.
no subject
...or didn’t, perhaps.
Now everything is quite muddled and I’m not sure what the source of it is. The fact remains that something... made me act very strange yesterday. And if I don’t figure that out, then— I may be more of a liability than a help.
no subject
[In her opinion, at least. Regardless, she moves on.]
...So basically, what I’m hearing is that you’ve never had normal feelings before and you don’t know how to deal with suddenly caring about things. Is that a fair summary?
no subject
That is... yes. That’s a fair assessment of the situation.
[This is what he’s dealing with.]
no subject
[She takes a deep breath, shaking her head as she tries to decide the best way to react to this information.]
...Okay. I believe you. [...] God, why did the one psychiatrist here have to be a homicidal asshole?
no subject
[It’s fine. He’s an alien.]
Well I can’t say it’s never happened here. But it seems to have gotten worse.
[—because emotions are like an illness right?]
no subject
[She pauses, then...]
Do you, like... Want to talk about them? Your, um... Feelings.
[As the ellipses indicate, it sounds like it's being dragged out of her.]
