Bells Hells didn't know, but it seems they stumbled onto a situation similar to the occupation of France during WWII. The power in place is absolutely not a democracy and controls the agriculture and the production of things for the war effort, and don't hesistate to increase the demand on specific things. Some Reilorans are clearly collaborating. We know some don't. We didn't see it 100%, but my guess is : the majority of the population of this town is indifferent, just doing their daily tasks, like Dono. There is an opposition but the necessity of the secret means the contacts through the opposition network is slow and help will not find its way immediately. The population is at risk if they align with the opposition even in spirit or small gestures (hiding people). The population can and will be used as a litteral meat shield if anything happens.
