It'd certainly be nice to think so, at least for those we presume to be averse to this kind of violence in their waking hours.

[ A beat, as he works through the thought in real time: ]

But whatever it is that holds dominion over this place possesses immense power.
It can take away and restore powers at will.
It turned us all into different people, last month, to better fit this place.
And, of course, it compels us to fall into defenseless sleep, in the night, and raises others to kill.

If we are correct about August and/or Shauna, given the clearer nature of the clues pointing toward them, I can't help but wonder if it was less a result of intentional error than of the more obvious nature of their respective capabilities and pasts.
August's power has been described as immense, and fairly distinct. Shauna and the rest of the girls were in the habit of keeping the hair of the dead.

I'm sorry, I know it's likely not the answer you were looking for.

If it's any solace, I'd hope you're right.

I do.

[ A truth, offered without elaboration and without obfuscation. ]

I suppose we'll see.
