Empathy: Good, you're up. Listen, there's something that's been bothering you for a few days now.
1->2
57
You: What is it?
2->57
3
Empathy: It's a suspicion, or a feeling, really, that things are not quite *in hand* around here...
73
Logic: An earth-shattering deduction from your psyche. What will those guys come up with next?
3->73
4
Empathy: But who's focusing on *the big questions*?
9
You: I assumed the most qualified and highly credentialed people were taking care of that stuff.
4->9
15
You: What am I supposed to do?
4->15
35
You: This really doesn't sound like my job.
4->35
5
Empathy: But have you ever seen them? How do you know they're even there? More importantly, how do you know they aren't waiting for *your participation*?

Empathy: Only the most even-keeled minds in Martinaise.
6->44
7
You: Not my problem. [Discard thought.]
8
Empathy: You've got to find out who bears *la responsabilité*.

Esprit de Corps: Your half-brother, the lieutenant, is a natural place to start.
45
Empathy: Together, you'll be able to discover who has la responsabilité in Revachol. And if necessary, you'll have the *wisdom and expertise* to assign it among yourselves.

Empathy: Harry, Harry. You're thinking about this too narrowly.
12->67
65
Empathy: Please, you're thinking about this too narrowly.
13->65
14
Empathy: Every day things seem to spin more and more wildly out of control. The centre isn't holding. And despite your efforts to *moderate* and *contain* these energies, things only seem to be getting worse.
14->7
51
You: Wait, I thought things were going pretty well?
14->51
58
You: Let's get right to it: What needs to be done?

22
You: What exactly *is* la responsabilité?
16->22
28
You: I thought I *was* assigning responsibility, for the murder?
16->28
47
You: Alright, give it to me. *I'll* accept responsibility. (Proceed.)
16->47
17
You: No way. I've got too much on my plate as it is. [Opt out.]
64
Empathy: This is a grave abdication of la responsabilité. A note will be appended to your personnel file.
17->64
18
Empathy: Come on. You know in your lungs that true authority flows from institutions, not individuals. That's the single principle that separates civilisation from barbarism.
Really, Harry. You know in your lungs that true authority flows from institutions, not individuals. That's the single principle that separates civilisation from barbarism.
39
Authority: Technicalities.
18->39
19
Empathy: If you want your work to be *accepted*, you'll have to go through the appropriate process.

Esprit de Corps: The one you seem so set on driving away, the lieutenant, is a natural place to start.
20->45
21
Empathy: Oh, sure. You've been making progress on your case, interviewing people, *solving side tasks*...
21->4
59
Empathy: The most awesome, terrible thing...
22->59
23
Empathy: La responsabilité isn't concerned with trivial questions like *who killed who*. It's about the real issues: the human welfare index, the price of staple goods, the transition to real democracy...

32
Empathy: Open your eyes. Stop getting distracted by details. It's time you started focussing on what really matters.
32->15
33
Empathy: Whoa, whoa, *whoa*. This isn't some kind of *dictatorship*. You can't simply seize la responsabilité for yourself. It must be given by a legitimate authority...
71
Empathy: Like a committee.
33->71
34
You: And what happens once we've assigned responsibility?
56
Empathy: Most likely your findings will be collected in a report, which will be carefully reviewed by your superiors.
34->56
35->32
36
You: Do we really have time for all this?
75
Empathy: There is always time to follow best practices. Once someone's decided to *cut corners* for the sake of expediency, who knows what else they're capable of?
36->75
37
Rhetoric: In other words, it must be diffused across the entire bureaucracy, so that no one can ever truly say *who is responsible for what*.

54->64
55
Empathy: It is human nature to crave la responsabilité and to deny it. That's why it must be distributed across many different organisations, agencies, offices, and portfolios.
55->37
76
Empathy: Once they've reviewed it, those same superiors will produce a set of recommendations to be taken up at the next meeting of the *standing committee*.
