[ Okay. Kitty relaxes; evidently, her slip out of character went unnoticed. That's a relief. ]
But...Okay, even if they're not driven by a sense of right and wrong, people still like to tell stories. They like to talk about themselves and what they've witnessed. I mean, get two old people in a room, and you can't get them to stop talking. I don't know...I guess I'm just thinking out loud here (or thinking in text, as the case may be), but the government couldn't possibly rely on the locals to stay quiet about things they'd have firsthand knowledge of. Right? So what's even the point of erasing recent history? We can find out if we put our minds to it...Unless there's something more sinister keeping potential sources of information quiet.
