@djlink I'm confused...why did Chloe have follow-up questions for the internet, but not her cousin, who, presumably, could have cleared up all the misunderstanding directly?
But then, if this is a misunderstanding, why put 'burn' in quotation marks? It implies Chloe did in fact understand the whole time and now I just don't know what to think about any of this.

@4Dboy @djlink Thank you, your analysis has saved my sanity. I believe you are correct. It was contrived for effect. Whew. That's a load off.

@4Dboy @djlink She surely understood but wanted to get reactions. Bit I’m sad there was no mention of lasers. We weren’t using some old fire, but burn them with cool lasers.

@4Dboy To be fair, more correct use of quotation marks than most.

I would say that she has guessed that burn doesn't mean burn the whole CD, but doesn't know what it does mean. In answer to her questions: - was it like a ritual? Yes. - did it work? If you did the ritual right, yes, sometimes. @4Dboy @djlink
