"No, listen, the fact that Marco and Simms are different is my point," Edwin said, placing his good arm over Oliver's arms that had made their way around them. "Now that this clusterfuck has happened, imagine if we got someone else in here like Marco. Or we just got someone who freaked out really bad when they woke up here. You've said that Cecilia doesn't have the patience for Marco, and Owen has patience on strange occasions, but not anywhere where Cecilia is involved. That person now has to rely on you, Kate, who... I love Kate, but she never leaves her room, and probably isn't right for the council, and then Pam, who... Again, very sweet, but she's Pam. It's not fair, when it absolutely needs to be. You're going to get another erratic, scared, sick person, and I don't know how it's going to play out because of everything that happened. I'm scared for that. I'm scared for when you get outvoted."
His expression mirrored Oliver's as he sighed, but he shrugged and shook his head. "I could be really wrong, too. I don't know, I just don't like the idea of anyone having to kill anyone. Should we do something for Tobias? Have you heard anything about how he's been handling this?"
