Then your joint foolishness and carelessness has endangered Ani and Jake. You disgrace yourself by minimising the harm done not only to them but the ability of any of us to trust you both. Votes traded or gained are meaningless, if they’re turned upon the innocent.
It is Koby who acted swiftly and decisively to protect those we all know to be innocent. He is the only one who made the progress you speak of, when neither you nor I swayed any of our number.
We would do well to recognise all our shortcomings, not simply the ones you’ve been forced to apologise for.
[ literally what did they do besides show up and talk shit yesterday. gale gave them the warning about the yellowjacket vote, and they still fumbled the numbers in favour of hairbrained schemes. ]
[ This is a criticism he's less glad to swallow - less because of content, more because of the Tone. ]
Heard and understood.
But if I'd noticed the mistake in the first place it wouldn't have been made. My attention was oversubscribed, and I appreciate in hindsight I should have kept my attention on the poisoned young woman I was on my way to tend rather than on trying to make plans against her attacker and the wider danger she represented if my judgement was likely to be impaired by the split focus. But I'm apologising for this specific failure now because now is when I've had time to understand and acknowledge the fault, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't deliberately mischaracterise that when tensions are already high.
[ Can you please just shout at him privately if you want to go off, Gale, he's trying to run damage control on a fucked situation and your righteous indignation is not helping. ]
[ Another thumb pushed into the bruise of Gale's feedback, but Ani at least has scolded them both rather than angling the bulk of her ire at him and him alone in response to the only bid to acknowledge a mistake yet seen from the two who made it. Acknowledging responsibility hadn't been intended to act as acceptance speech for an even split, but for now, in the interest of keeping things intact, he'll continue to keep his mouth shut and go to work on establishing ways to protect the lives he's endangered - his own included - by failing to recognise a grown man wouldn't make the same choice he would in the middle of an emergency. ]

I stand by my assessment in the clarity of the morning, Stephen.
But I thank you for the acknowledgment — and I am glad you focused more of your attention on dear Ren.
