“Now I know that none of you think you are guilty, but I assure you, one of you are guilty.”

Allegory turned to Krystal and said, “how is that even possible?”

The dominus continued, “Now I know you may be wondering how I would know how one of you are guilty when I also know that none of  you think you are guilty.  It’s sort of like how that one time Allegory told me he was feeling a sharp pain in his back and I did him the service of correcting him and telling him he was not in pain after all.  It’s all about perspective, you see.  I happen to have a different, and more correct, perspective about your guilt and Allegory’s pain than your own perspectives.”

Everyone blinked and nodded and looked to the left and looked to the right and smelled the conglomerate of foods behind the double doors behind them begin to lose heat but get it back from the flame underneath the silver but not silver dishes.

Allegory’s side body was drenched from the cascade of sweat coming from his under arms.

“I really was in pain, you know,” he was going to tell Krystal but instead told himself first because the dominus said to tell yourself something before you tell it to someone else.  A sort of reviewing process.
