[ the ice begins to melt around the door, and when it finishes, there's a simple metal door with an ornate handle there, unfrozen.

[WHAT. THE HELL. WAS THAT?!

someone is a little wet but also REALLY UPSET?]

[bondsofsuffering]

[He's not the only one, minus the wet.]

...What use is a canal if it's got corpses in it?

[lefthandpath]

[he almost wants to snap about that being a stupid question but instead there's just angry and frustrated and horrified tears because it's all so stupid

PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE!!!

sorry he's emotional rn]

They were desperate and probably didn't know. Someone else was cutting off another water supply.

[bondsofsuffering]

The corpses will taint the water and they'll have other problems instead. And probably not so easily fixed, either...

Their hastiness will just hurt more.

[But... there's also nothing they can do about it anymore, either.]

[tradesecret]

I suppose this is what they mean by the road to Hell being paved with good intentions.

[lefthandpath]

You mean ignorance.

Who looks at a centuries-dried canal and thinks "Oh no one will use this!"?

[no. wait. don't answer that.

pushing himself up and just. going to stalk to the art room because MAYBE HE CAN. GET SOME ENERGY OUT THERE]
