Yes, I know you've been trying. However, you still have a long way to go, just as you think the people here do in other ways.
Your logic seems to be that if they aren't sufficiently helpful, then you have no obligation to tolerate them. You might not be wrong in that, but you're not likely to make much progress either.
[wow fine he'll stop trying to get you allies then :/ ]
Lune is one of the most agreeable people I've met, so consider that the first step.
Of course, you don't have to change your ways if you don't want to. However, might I point out that you shouldn't have even needed me to provide you with anyone's identity, as you could've easily deduced them last week by paying attention to what others said?
this one actually makes him pause, though. maybe this was when he was supervising the injury check? hm. ]
They said they didn't know where it came from.
[ that was the last he heard about it, and then they were moving onto the pictures. there was a lot happening last week, it seems; it was a little hard to follow everything. ]
I'm not saying this to make you feel bad. I think that you can be a positive force here. Just keep in mind that I'm in no way obliged to compensate for your shortcomings. If you want my cooperation, I won't pick and choose based on your preferences and discomfort for social situations.
Unlike you, I will silence my right to say my piece for success, but I do have my limits.
I'm not asking you to. But you, Lune, Sol - you all keep saying we need to work together. I don't understand how we're supposed to do that if everyone here is keeping secrets that could help us move forward. That's all.
[he's saying to be less pissy when he doesn't immediately give you info that you should've figured out yourself, kara. :/ (is he actually annoyed about that? maybe just a tad.)]
And that is why I've advised you to rethink how you approach others. For instance, North shared info with me, because she trusts me to be level-headed.
On the other hand, why would she ever go out of her way to talk to you, when from her perspective, you don't respect her opinion? Trying to understand why she's annoyed with you, rather than insist you did nothing wrong, will do you wonders.
She complained that i was "stomping around." We didn't talk much. What else is there to understand?
[ north is the one who could use an attitude adjustment, if you ask kara. he's doing fine with others! maybe! ...he doesn't know, how is he supposed to judge that, anyway? ]
Well, it's true that North isn't the most agreeable person either, but this goes back to what I said earlier.
If you want to get along—and yes, I know you don't care, but it'd be more advantageous for you in the long run—then at least one of you will have to put harmony over feeling right.
It would help if you didn't bristle every time I offered you advice.
Of course, I can stop, as well as stop trying to send people your way. And, along those lines, I can stop asking others to look past your attitude and to try to cooperate with your good intentions.
[trying to be a kara stan is a thankless job, jsyk.]
[kara was perfectly free to tell him to fuck off? that was an option shess was giving him?
he pauses, still smiling, before:]
By the way, if you ever receive a note in your house during the week, disregard it. Most likely, the contents are meaningless or meant to lead you astray.
Also, as suspected, the food given during the trial was hints to find the corrupted. Someone else has confirmed this for me.

...I was paying attention during the investigation last week. No one said anything about seeing the darkness for themselves then, just today.
[ not in public, he's pretty sure...? ]

That would be the first example.

It must not have helped much, if we could only find one of the murderers.

Or do you not consider saving two lives worth it?

And they said that openly too?

It's not about being right or getting along. It's about finishing the mission without anyone else breaking. That's what I'm trying to do.
