No, not just that. [There's some hesitation, and eventually Daan admits:] There are other punishments. Someone was punished for attempted arson, for example. Others were also punished for standing by and witnessing a murder. We've considered testing other things to see what the unspoken rules are, but I'm not personally interested in exploring that right now.
[Not Daan's proudest moment.]
Honestly, I'm not sure. Maybe most people are just more scientifically minded? Many seemed surprised when I mentioned the gods at all. I don't really see any evidence either way yet.
[Daan frowns and shakes his head. He finishes mixing his drink between sentences, and pauses to have a drink before continuing.] Leaving isn't an option. It's not unlike Prehevil, as you said: people have tried, but you just get circled back to this district.
[He pauses, then holds up his glass.] Want one, by the by?
