It's funny how many of you say how few opinions on food you have. I know it is likely the result of a lack of choice, but ... I don't know. I've always thought if I were to die tomorrow, I'd like to remember the little important things, like a good meal.
Because one always remembers the little things. Consider the profiles proof enough? Most of them aren't "how I saved the world."
My balcony at home. A meal with everyone around the campfire, laughing at silly jokes. My mother, teaching me to cook. These things are more important than we think.

If you ask the Overseers, you did her a kindness. Though I understand the feeling that you have very much not. I think for what it's worth, it is somewhere in between.
[that it was a kindness. there's something conflicted in her voice - it isn't that she minds the consolations, but it feels strange to be thanked for something like this by multiple people.]
[ he'll start cooking, he's even got some of the non-breathing non-ground beef left. ]
... Early on in my latest travels, I was seeking a cure for a condition I have. We heard of a place that was a home to druids, and thought to take our chances there - the leader of the Druids, Halsin, was captured and had left only his apprentice behind. But she was still a healer, very kind and understanding. She listened to us describe the illness, and offered us help. She knew the cure. It was a great relief, to know someone would aide us after all.
She then tried to force poison upon me, to trick me into being shuffled off this mortal coil without even a whisper of consent. Death was the only cure she knew. In her mind, it was a kindness. Personally, I did not appreciate the gesture.

You did as we have all been told to do, over and over and over. You did not want Nona to suffer a fate worse than death. You may or may not have been rewarded for it. I believe I'm only saying I don't think it was either entirely cruel or entirely a kindness, and only time will tell if it was the correct decision or not. To be honest, it's not as if voting from each of us every time is any different a decision.
... Sorry. I suppose I shouldn't speak so bluntly on it. I've gotten myself into trouble with that before.

You'd remember something like a good meal in a time like that? Why's that?

I would always rather people speak bluntly. It solves a lot of problems, I've found.
[as for the rest...]
If later we find that there was a different way to help her, I'll take responsibility for this choice. But I didn't want her to hurt anyone else.
[it's why she was so quiet towards the end - with a culprit secured, she was worried showing her hand would make nona lash out at someone unrelated.]
