Maybe it's possible for us to come up with a social contract under which we collectively pretend that floods like the last one just didn't happen? It feels like a lot of us enjoy each others suffering in a way that is inevitably going to come back around and make our lives uncomfortable at a later date.

Comrades, has anyone else noticed that Howie seems... particularly unlike himself, lately?

Excuse me Comrade, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about God?

I know, especially since even though people made fun of him, he was one of the wardens who usually made sense.

Perhaps we ought to hope that Rayne is right, and he is looking for information elsewhere or... discussing it privately.

I cannot truly account for a man I essentially know as a friend of my wife's. Why do you not ask him?

I don't want him to think I'm criticizing him for not saying anything. I'm asking him questions about God to cheer him up.

...An interesting approach, sir.

I hope it proves successful, but showing a little concern for his well being, if that is how you feel, sir, is not the same as criticising him.

Thank you for your help, Comrade.

I'll talk to him about it.
