[It's a thought that's probably on almost everyone's minds. For her part, Makoto is kind of torn on it. Isn't it for the best to get all of the information one possibly can for a proper assessment of the situation? On the other hand, is it an unnecessary risk? Signs point to yes--although if these terrified locals, who seem to have taken every possible precaution, think it's the right thing to do, shouldn't she trust their judgment?]
[At which point her panicky, circular thoughts find one solid answer: no. Absolutely not. She should not trust the judgment of some community full of adults who feel they've got the right to drag her into their mess.]
[The long and the short of it, then, is that she doesn't know how she feels about it yet. The sound of Lu Li's voice makes her startle a little, with her nerves frayed as they are.]
. . . I would imagine they have some way to force the issue. They seem to have dealt with this situation before.
