peridot

You find yourself in a beautiful red room, the edges of each wall adorned with real gold accents. At the center of the room is a long table, several chairs on either side of it, perfect for very serious conferences. In the middle of the table is a plate of strawberry jam tarts atop it, one per teammate present.

In the corner of the room is a hole in the ground, only large enough for a small animal to fit through. Next to it is a flat iron bar, curled at its tip, where a golden bell has been hung from it.

Finally, on one wall is a large poster which reads (or you find read aloud to you, if you cannot read):

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper.
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

I'm not discounting those things. But she asks for punishment. So we shall punish him. We ought to honor Jill, and heal her wounds, as Jack has already gone to heal his.

If you think that would help her.

Ignoring her and sympathizing only with Jack gives her nothing.

I wasn't.

[just huffs, attempting to compose herself]

But we were talking about him, and we didn't have so many details.

...I am aware.

So don't just think I could forget so easily.

...I wonder, why in this specific situation, you're so keen on a light punishment.

Why would he fall first?

The idea that he fell first trying to drag her down is just as likely as the idea that he fell first sheerly on accident. Do you want to ask more questions for clarification...?
