Yes, I seem to get the idea that you are probably bound to defend the curses and false accusations that were spread around by Jeanie, who has some huge chip on her shoulder, as I heard online. I am not fond of your village politics. Being aware of "The Lottery," a short story by Shirley Jackson that puts a negative spin on the idea of "winning," I don't need to win. I can live just fine without "winning" her type of game.
