The 30th of June was the turning point. Now the brothers are the hunted. And they are hunted with fierce and thoughtless anger. The brothers nevertheless shoot back and are trying to mobilize their people.
Tension rises and emotions grow. The thing which declines rapidly is the will or the ability to think. Every tiny piece of opinion is taken as pure infomation. Logic does not play any role any more. The masses are tumbling and no reason might be able to stop it. Only a few voices try to mediate between the different fractions, only a few people raise their voice to ask questions.
In times of threat, sorrow and anger it appears that there is only black or white, but no grey any more. This effect is well known and books are written about it. But still it is able to enfold its devastating force.
