Failing to make any move in what they've given us with the ballet will only hurt ourselves, in my opinion. It's better to make a move then to let the opportunity for one be wasted.

And yes. I voted myself.

And you'll try to chance that sort of disaster for something so simple as a reason?

[ Of course he would. Sherlock's speaking merely out of curiosity there - he'd have done most of anything to find out reason here, himself. ]

They are bragging, but what instigated it? They're playing, and they most definitely want people to vote. Reason's as good an incentive as any, but why toy with everyone so simply after what happened on Christmas? It's like giving a papercut to a victim of a car crash.

Yes.

Because they believe that the power they have gives them the leeway too. It'd be the simplest answer. Though, of course, I hardly know that's definitely the case.

I believe they think we're weak at the moment, and easier to lead. I hope we show that we aren't.

They have that weakness to aid them. People are injured, desperate, and, worst of all, panicked. If they've any brain cells to rub together, they won't vote. Those that think they're being clever will vote to stay. Though if they're desperate enough, then, yes, perhaps they will vote to go home.

And what did you do, Mr. Holmes?

[ ...Huff. ]

I voted without my meaning to. [ IT voted, somehow. ] That is, to go home.

I see.

That was my vote, as well.

I've seen those who refuse to vote at all, and those who have voted to leave. I'm curious to find someone who, alternatively, voted to stay.
