I think the way we played would probably be the same. We played very lightly for the first few rounds, and when it looked like we were about to eat it, we played as hard as we needed to to survive, and squeaked through by only one point.
I think the only difference now would probably be which units we prioritize. Half the people who were in that game are gone. Now we have new people, new connections.
[he swirls his drink around, thoughtfully. The alcohol is starting to kick in, whew.]
When that last round came along and we knew we were going to die if we didn't hit one more unit, we'd already hit all our non-priority units. Nobody else would give up theirs, and time was running out, and something had to give. So I gave up future is now. Sunset and Sunshine had been protecting you until that point, too. We all folded to protect ourselves.
But then you died, and I was sure it was us who killed you, and I was... I was so angry. Because you guys had already died so much. It was so ffffucking unfair, what we did to you.
I don't think I've really stopped being angry about it.
But even though I keep going back over the situation in my head, I'm not sure what a better alternative would have been. If we hadn't hit someone, our unit would have died. If we hit someone else, then maybe one of my unitmates would be feeling this pain instead of me. None of those alternatives are better.
