Oh, man, it seems like everyone is so down lately! It's like you've all given up hope!

Now's not the time to give up, guys! We've gotta remain strong and continue living for a brighter future, for every day will definitely be better than the last! So cheer up! Everything's gonna be okay!

((ooc: In contrast with all the characters who have lost their optimism, Stahn's optimism has been amplified. Enjoy.))

But is it helping us out of what's been happening? It's kidnap-return-heal-experiment-kidnap here with the Malnosso. We're never going to escape this vicious cycle! [Oh dramatize! Katara's sniffling a little now.]

[hotheadedidiot]

H-hey! No need to get upset over it! There are plenty of people who've escaped the cycle! And it's through what we're learning as time goes on that'll get out of here one day!

People have escaped the cycle? Really? You can't be talking about those who have returned home, have you? Because they've probably just been taken by the Malnosso to do further experiments on. At least, that's what's more likely to be happening.

A-are you sure? Some people have been here for years! [She's exaggerating. Really. She doesn't know anyone who's been here for that long.]

[hotheadedidiot]

There are people who haven't even been kidnapped once since they came here.

No way! I don't know anyone here who's been here much longer than a year!
