It was all mindgames, though, yeah? Hallucinations. That's what one chick said to me on'a phone at least. ... I ain't gonna call it a "test of character" 'cause that'd be givin'a town too much credit, but they were still tryin'a break people all'a same. Like'a stupid "truth gas" from last month.

If'a town was literally brainwashing people into goin' on'a killing spree? Then yeah, I wouldn't judge 'em.
