Then if I'm chosen, I'll do what I have to. Nobody has to worry about that.

...

If you are picked, just remember - she isn't possessed. Don't linger after after using the holy water, if you have to.

Shiraishi. Is this supposed to be helping? [He sounds bemused if anything.]

I’m being factual.

[ what did he expect? back pats and sympathy? ]

It may be a non-issue, depending on who is chosen.

[No that would be even worse.]

That depends on who you think among us would be willing to kill someone in cold blood knowing they didn't actually do anything wrong. Any guesses?

Is that person better than someone who'd use the holy water on them knowing they were merely performing an act of self defence?

Self defense is different and you know it. This isn't about if a person is better though, it's about what a person is capable of. Isn't it?

Yes.

If you're picked and you hesitate, it'll make things worse.

I wouldn't hesitate, alright? Is that what you want assurance about?

[ he shrugs. ]

I don't think I'm the one the needs assurance. Consider it a reminder, just in case.

Well. Thanks. [He doesn't sound happy about it but it's fine.] ...and thanks for the back-up today anyway.

[ some people just aren't grateful. ]

Mmm. Well. It was more complicated this week than the last. We may continue to need as much help as we can.

Of course we are. The longer we're here, the more people are going to get attached to people they're friends with. The more attached they are, the more room for error we have.

This was just a test today. Think we passed?

...

I think that depends on what you define the test as being. We don't know what happens when no one votes, after all.

Knowing how this place works? It becomes randomized and we kill someone unrelated. That's my best guess.

Neither are especially desirable options. And now we can't even be sure if we even properly touched on the murders at the pool -- and whether we let someone possessed get away.

...I'm still thinking it might've been Aizawa. We don't know the whole timing of when Chuuya and Logy died and when Escha attacked him. But it's a theory, not a fact. We could have actually let someone get away.
