[ Istredd genuinely wasn't certain how things could get worse until the 'ritual' happened and many of the others were taken away. He heard screams in the night and how rough they looked when they stumbled back to the pit, but no one came for him, even as he tensed and waited all day and night.
He has been trying so hard to keep it together, being one of the people to help keep the rations organized and try to help the group survive. It gets far more tense after the ritual, although he's only heard bits and pieces about what happened. Emotions are on the rise, some have been getting more violent. Istredd has stepped in between a few conflicts, but he is not particularly dangerous without his magic. He can't actually stop anyone from fighting, or from going after the supplies. It feels like it's so close to breaking.
Istredd thinks they have to escape if anyone has a chance of surviving. He recognized Claude from a better time in his Horizon, and that he's been struggling with the same as others, but he looks like he's studying something. Istredd approaches him very cautiously, skittish. He looks confused at what he's saying, not having the sight to actually witness the wall. ]
