At that, Jess lets out a single soft laugh. "I don't know if I should be offended or not you think I'd suggest that kind of rookie mistake in poor planning. It's bad strategy, making the exact same moves and expecting different results."
He's not offended, in truth; his amusement is evident in the quirk of his lips. Honestly, he does feel like a blockhead running at a brick wall most days, but he also knows he's not alone in that feeling. This place makes them all look like fools.
"We can't rule out anything," he agrees after a beat. He's done the same, as for all intents and purposes this comes off as the type of game where thinking outside the box is a requirement, not an option. "And changing tack might offer you a fresh perspective. As long as you don't let yourself get mentally stuck."
That's the point he'd ultimately been getting at--that they can accept defeat around every corner, so long as it doesn't define their efforts here. Adapting and adjusting and continuing to fight for answers is the best they can do.
