"Intentionally anticlimactic?" Marie asked in confusion.
"Yes. We're instilling fear, which is good for getting people to take situations seriously." Helix asserted.
"However, if the fear gives them trauma, they could lose their will to fight. They could become callous or dangerous as well.
That's why we need to immediately remove trauma from the equation."
She gave him a strange look. "That makes sense, but how can people casually remove trauma?"
"You remove the feeling of helplessness and danger." He smiled.
"They're afraid because they're seeing Charlotte move to the jaws of the Lagrock, helpless to prevent getting bitten in half and having a gruesome death, right?
We need to reverse that and tell people she was never in danger.
To do that, we need to remove emotion from the equation. Make it seem like it wasn't worthy of glory or celebration."
Marie's eyes glided to the left.
