...I guess. [ though everyone mistook it for poison. oopsie. ] We had a good talk, it's just— [ it sucks!!! it sucks. he liked astolfo a lot, and that warmth is there, but it's still very hard. he lets out a harsh exhale. ] And then, with Matsuno. That wasn't supposed to happen. I know you're from the same round before.
...Whoever did it was probably possessed. [ which inspires a sort of sympathy in him, because he truly hates the possession mechanic. ] Have you all talked about it too?
I know it was... confusing. With Rin, Asuka, and I showing up on all those checks too. But I don't think Asuka was in any shape to hurt anyone that night. That's part of why we did it.
[ homos trial pocket checks were a long time ago ]
I only even remembered it's portable because of a memory I saw. [ ... ] I like Alex and Hoshino. I wouldn't have been any happier if either of them were voted for, especially since Rin and I weren't possessed. All of this is just—frustrating.
[ his emotions turn kind of exasperated and frustrated but in a teen way ]
...Rin can't get anything from the store because he confessed during trial. [ at least this will get them an achievement ] I'm going to get the help ad because it seems like a waste otherwise.
[ rin you are just so stupid, but his feelings are mostly relieved he's not dead ]
Mm. It's general enough... [ anyway, he sighs. ] Anyway, I don't care about keeping anything about Rin and I secret. If it's helpful, you can share and ask anything you want.
[ his emotions are guilty, but also tired—all of this needs to count for something. ]
[ he nods, though he's really hesitant to accept gratitude.
...I hate that we know people have to kill, or we won't hit milestones. There were some we thought we were still missing. [ so it made sense to act, but there's also a callousness to that line of thinking he doesn't enjoy, clearly. ] But it starts getting too easy to think of things as... values.

... Is it okay if we talk?
[ stopping to get a sense of if he just wants to be alone...
that said, kate's own vibes are a whirlwind of anxiety, sadness, relief and guilt. ]
no subject
It's okay. Have you talked to Rin already?
no subject
It must not have been easy for the two of you.
no subject
...You don't have to be so gracious. [ rin's her teammate, being kind to him comes with the team territory ] I'm sorry about Astolfo.
[ okay well ryo is. it's fine. ]

You did everything you could to make sure they didn't suffer, didn't you?

But it was also because we didn't solve Ichiban's...

[ to curse him as soon as the night started. ]

By process of elimination, there would really only be one possibility left, wouldn't there?
no subject
Mm. Though... two, probably. Since not everyone complies with checks.
But we're thinking it narrows it down a lot.
no subject
I wonder what that red plastic was... The thing that looked like a battery cover?
no subject
Could've been from a handheld radio.
no subject
[ maybe. yeah. ]
Was it red? I don't think I got a good look at it...

Are you and Rin planning to take something from the shop?

[ also a little exasperated... ]
I think that's a good idea. You can always decide on what to use it for later.

[ with the evidence, and seeing who fits into it... ]
I'm grateful. If you didn't do it, someone else would have had to.

[ it really is just back to earning points. ]
no subject
[ maybe too much like it, going from the memory she saw before. ]
I hate it, too.
