Rhetoric: She's less prone to blurting out 'crab-man!' than the others.
13->165
14
You: "That's not especially frightening."
113
Acele: "And then, you know, right behind her a man *crawled down the wall*. Upside down, like a crab. Down the church wall. I think the woman didn't even know he was there, he was completely silent..."

Acele: "They're inside that thing there." She points to the tent. "Would be cool if you did... Was there something else?"

You: (Nod.) "I saw him. I saw the crab-man."

You: "I did see them both, yes."

Acele: "Good, so you believe me." She looks at the tent. "You should go tell this to Andre, he'll know what to do next."

You: "I prefer not to share this information with you."

Conceptualization: This is an evolutionary step up from amplified instruments, which in turn are a step up from acoustic instruments. What comes after it, you wonder: a black-tinted nothingness, or something finer?
