[ Blurgh, and Finn just wants to go back to bed. He slumps a little on the wall. ]

Disagreeing's good. Talking's good. That's why all this- [ He waves his hand around. You know. All this. ] But arguing and accusing and-... [ Sorry, waving his hand again.

But he's put himself in this conversation now so- ]
He says we shouldn't place blame on the group as a whole when things go wrong. You feel like that means he wants to place blame on those who did make things go wrong. He says we should try to help those that go rogue, then you say he's unwilling to blame himself for anything...

And I feel like both of you are right and wrong. We're a collective that's supposed to work together, so failing that is a failure on all of our parts. At the same time, no one made me out myself in Braccia, go blind, and all but stop helping the group. That was all on me, and I'm neither impatient nor inexperienced. Just because we're supposed to work together doesn't mean that we will or that all of us even want to. And we're all adults, no one's the leader here - unless you count Degar or Viveca, maybe - so even if the illusion of blame were placed on someone in the form of offering support, all it's going to do is make for a stronger divide than what's already between everyone.

So... I guess what I'm saying is-... [ Shit, he's just realized this is the most he's talked in like a week. The hand waving's back for a hot second. ] We're here because we were ripping at each other's throats a few weeks ago and we need to be better than that if we're all going to keep living in this tin can together. If you think he's being unfair and self-centered, putting himself on a pedestal or something, then just say it instead of... y'know... ripping another throat out.

[ If he were feeling like himself, he'd be pulling Newton aside to ask where those "Get Along" shirts ran off to. Instead, he's just going to make himself a little smaller and take super long sips of his coffee, not making any eye-contact. ]
