but it's not that murder is great? I just think death happens when it happens, and sometimes that's the way it happens. it's just how it's meant to be in that case.
I can't fault you for looking the other way for some people because I've done it myself, honestly, I've helped them do it or covered it up afterwards because if I didn't, I'd lose them, and I really really did not want that to happen
also, preemptively: yes I'm talking about before here
Is this where I say if they were really your friends they wouldn't involve you in so many murders? No, I don't really care. I'm sure you had your reasons.
I am also very comfortable with death as a concept. But I don't necessarily want it to happen to people I care about. I don't want people I care about to be hurt when it happens to those they care about. I really, really do not want that to happen, and the math is becoming untenable.
The way I see it, there are four courses of action. First, I steer her towards someone who doesn't mean anything to me, and wash my hands of it. It's the best plan, but unfortunately, I've already discarded that as unrealistic for me.
[Having feelings about lying and betraying everyone you care about is a real bitch sometimes.]
Second, I tell a few trusted people and we work to make sure she's caught. This is a bad strategy. It will have too many moving parts and can backfire in a number of ways. Third, I expose her publicly as a murderer today. As she pointed out, someone else who has been considering murder will likely target her as a result. That said, the only drawback to this plan is that I feel slightly badly about it, which isn't enough of a drawback to be making this big of a scene over. Fourth, I try to prevent her from acting at all by using the obsession power to give her an anti-murder obsession on Thursday.
Obviously, plan #4 has more room to backfire than #3, but I find myself drawn to it.
Can you even comment on any of this? I don't know. Apparently there is a "larger picture" to the motive behind murders and I fear stepping in something I shouldn't.
I'm still probably not very useful, death never really means much to me? so preventing it is not as big of a deal and therefore my priorities don't have a lot to do with yours, I'd probably have done the first one in your position.

I think you're smart enough to go with something that'll work.

I will see what I can do on my own about Molly. If you learn of any way to break it, please let me know.
