... people will always try to save those who they care about. Or try to defend them. You did the same. And so did they.
[ he doesn't sound judgmental about it. only a little fond, and a little sad. ]
It's easy for people to tell others that you need to stop trying to protect your friends, until it happens to their own. Logic only works if emotion allows it to.
Yeah, I know. But it's not just that either. It's- how do I explain it? We've got two other killers out there who haven't been found yet, and they just saw how everyone turned on Diluc when he confessed. Which is wrong on so many levels! For one, we're gonna need their cooperation too to get out of here, and I wouldn't blame 'em if they're too scared to speak up now. But secondly, it's not their fault! And scaring them when it wasn't their fault to begin with, that's not what we gotta do.
I know everyone wants to protect their friends, but those two killers are people's friends too.
It's best if they don't speak up, at least. Think of it this way-- their hostage is already saved. That means if someone chooses to kill them, they would only be condemning one person to death instead of two.
... I don't think choosing who should live or die should come down to a numbers game like that, but I do think it's something that a person may consider if they need to choose a victim.
[ aka if they publicly tell everyone they might end up dead anyway ]
[ he gestures to show the size of a large basket ]
Aha. At the very least, most people here have either already killed or been the victim of a kill, since this isn't our first time doing this. Hopefully we can all hold onto the fact that we're all in the same boat.
...I dunno. Nobody's been sharing stuff with each other either, I don't think. My group found some papers on Thursday when we went to go fight the moon, and I hadn't heard about finding papers before that.
I actually think those are the ones that have been getting posted-- do you know the stinky list? I think that was something that was found on an excursion, or at least it's what I was told. [ secondhand info... ] Another thing was some sort of... hangman puzzle? A game members of the staff were playing together.

I cannot promise that no one will ever go after me, but I can promise that I will do what I can to be safe.

Date: 2022-07-11 01:46 am (UTC)Yeah, well. As long as you didn't end up possessed by a shadow and kill someone then you're probably fine.
[He sounds just a little bitter there. He's still mad about how everyone ganged up on Diluc.]

[Swords absolutely count as a person in Rin's mind too.]
I still wanna give them words of encouragement or something. Just so they know they're not alone in this.

Perhaps they are shy about their looks.
