All of them were silent from the beginning but when I asked them the question they all looked at each other and murmured.
"Is one of us actually a criminal?"
"Are we harboring a murderer here… we have children running around in the open, what if one of them gets one of them."
"N- No, this can't be. There definitely can't be a criminal like that here."
"We are a peaceful village; we don't get mixed up with bad people."
"But what if… there are criminals here and they happen to be our closest friends?"
Most of them already started to gossip and doubt each other.
I looked at the scene and found it funny. It's like a domino effect with me giving a slight push and all of them already falling in line to distrust each other already.
Foolish Village people are a rare breed indeed.
But it seems the show came to an end as one of the ones who had been fearful for a while, suddenly became angry and shouted, "Shut up, everyone!""
