This isn't just a double-edged sword, it's more like a double-edged katana. It's starting to seem like the Leek Miser was on the right track after all, you just made the irreversible error of not believing him until it was too late. Now the grayest pieces are beginning to take their positions on the playing field, and you have no one by your side to help you expose the whole story.
Near-complete cognizance strikes you like a brick to the head, and Garakaw's face is dead center in it.
Be it through mere falsehood or curbing of information, you've been played for a fool either way. You're not just a puppet on a wire, you're a puppet in hot water, and the only thing you've succeeded in is keeping these dire secrets contained from the people who need to hear them most. Manipulation at its finest.
Hit by the impact of your grave oversight, you ball your fists. "Hmph. Feels pretty damn shady to hide 'responsibilities' from the public.." you tell him. "The town's in a time of crisis and the governing body chooses to keep everyone in the dark about what they're doing to ensure their survival or.. or
deny it."
