Maybe this entire thing is a conditioning exercise.

[ fei du chuckles at the thought, following easily! to the theater. ]

After all, since the very beginning, there's been attempts to tempt us into violent behavior, considering the rules and our Thursdays, like we're mice in Skinner's box. Add in the scraps of a nice meal in a restaurant, or a fun little movie theater... really, it wouldn't be all that surprising. Not only that, but we're starting to fall into something of a routine, here - systemically desensitized to the realities of our Saturdays, even if they're still awful, so we play along. People can be easy to control, for someone in the right sadistic mindset.

[ so casually.... like he is talking about the weather....... ]
