I do not know. I do not care to think about how many will make it. We will deal with that when we come to it.
The problem here... there is much to it. Far too much for me to state simply and adequately. I am not eloquent enough.
We do not trust each other. We have let our old grievances take us over. We have let them hijack us and we cannot let go.
We are all guilty of it. I am guilty, you are guilty, he is guilty, she is guilty. It is all a terrible mess.
It is plain to see that some of us do not like each other. We have all let that overpower us. We have to rise above that. There is simply no other way.
Above all else, we must listen to each other. We need to hear other speak and wait for them to finish. We cannot interject and berate them. We must give each other the benefit of the doubt, no matter how much it irks us.
Let our old spats and disagreements die. Let our impulsiveness stay gone and dead. All we must do now is listen and from there, we can work together.
-He folds his arms, looking at her-
...Okay. That's a nicer way of saying what I said, but a speech is a speech. It doesn't mean anything unless we actually back it up with action.
It's dumb to just expect people to immediately trust you. But, based on the fact that I am still not dead, I can at least trust that we can all work together in a pinch, and I expect at least that much from everyone else. So starting right now, we treat every moment like a pinch. That means no more losing focus, no more jumping the gun, no more angry outbursts, no more long-winded tirades, and no more attempted murder.

-Nods, still staring at his knees-
-to Fen- No you're not. You're nice to me.
Nobody's... nobody's mean this time. Not like before.
But I think you might think I'm stupid, like I can't have good ideas unless someone else also says they're good. Or that I'm crazy, or that I just don't know what I'm talking about.
I keep trying to prove I'm not and that just makes it worse because apparently all my ideas are bad too.
If — if you need me to keep quiet and kill things when you need to, I'll do that. If that's what it takes.

...Alright. Address the problem.
