Here's what I'm thinking...

The badger-thing can obviously force us to act on some compulsion, right? Otherwise you never would've just gone and got your hands dirty with Mr. Gavin and the Ambassador-guy. You would've just run off.

Somehow you did it all while I was dozed off. Why didn't I help? Maybe because I'm not a 'bad badger'? Or maybe because it knows... uh, murdering's not in me.

Then back at the house... when we all start to wonder "why are we bothering with this game?" It shows us a mirror of Mr. Justice getting tortured, looking like how we look right now, with the threat of him getting worse if we don't play along.

Why do that? If it can affect someone mentally... it could just... force us to play, and not question it. Sss. Conclusion: there's got to be limits to what it can make us think we want to do.

I was getting tired but couldn't sleep because I was freaked out from being locked up with you and Scarface. So, it convinced me to sleep. Meanwhile, you both were feeling antsy and vindictive and it gave you a chance to let off some steam. In both cases, it played to desires we were already having...

--What if we could override it, somehow, giving us the willpower to do something else when it opens the door again? If we can't get it open ourselves, that's the only chance, really.
