Diana: "Stella does not want to force you to do anything"

Also Diana, a few days earlier: "I'm sorry if her thoughts and values anger you"

Ie. why would I get angry if I'm not forced to do anything? Obviously I asked her this, and obviously she didn't answer, and obviously we all know the answer - the emperor isn't wearing a robe. I exposed so many obvious contradictions like this, and was always met with silence and evasion. With all of them. It's amazing how little these "npc's" value logic and coherence and morality.

Even when I clearly explain the "meta" interactions that are going on, when I explain how she's acting out of fear of losing Stella and maybe her gov job, same (non-)response. Simply amazing.

Even when she awkwardly says she isn't happy (obviously she isn't, she's alone and fake with everyone), while I easily say I am content despite all the intense social pressures against me and nasty scummy ostracisms, she still doesn't believe me, she doesn't believe she can achieve that simply by becoming honest and sane. Simply amazing.

(I clearly defined "public" and "private", many times, of course, most notably at the very start of an initially friendly facebook groupchat with all of them.)

Yea, it's done.
