[ Right. That'd have been when Peter had vanished. How it works, fuck if he knows. It made a certain sense when folk disappeared and returned with no memory of having been in this world. As though they were pulled from the world once more. But what does it mean, when someone can vanish with their memories intact and return? ]
No one died. [ This time, goes unsaid. ] I wasn't there. Sam was.
[ Geralt had been healing at the time, for one; he has no intention of doing anything for the city for another. Sam went as a healer, though—a medic—and he knows it wasn't good. He knows he does not like the message it sends, that a sizeable portion of them participated willingly.
For all that he prefers to remain separated, he's aware that can't always be so. There's an us, a them—the Summoned—and many consider them as one, whether they truly are or not. Inextricably linked. He's been there too many times, the way people see what they want to see. How quickly it spirals out of control from a single spark. ]
