After some intense confrontations occurred, the gloom that hung over everyone's hearts finally dispersed.
Having a clear enemy is always better than not knowing who your enemy is—it lets people clearly know whom to direct their spears at.
As a result, other suspicions naturally lost their value,
when people displayed such ease in dealing with the problems at hand.
Andrew didn't dare to show even the slightest hint of relaxness in the face of these issues now.
Delving into other thoughts about the problem or concerns became pointless and weren't worth judgment or understanding by others.
The atmosphere had just begun to seem a bit more relaxed when everybody thought the tension was easing.
Suddenly, someone jumped out and said,
"Enough with the nonsense, spit out everything you want to say already, we're all waiting here."
This nearly accusatory behavior, as if pointing fingers, had directed everyone's judgment towards Andrew.
