... It's not like him being caught saves him. There's no shame in wanting to catch someone else instead. [ he pauses ] We're not going to play at which answer is more moral when everyone's been doing it this whole time. No one wants to send a friend on death row for something they didn't mean to do.
I think he'd be hypocritical too, if it were you. It's easy to want to pay for something you feel guilty for, and a lot harder to apply the same logic to people you care about. [ he looks to the side ] ... I wish you didn't have to see it.
I think... all three kills might have been. I don't know a lot of people who'd both want Sylvain dead and not care about you enough to pull that one off.
[ welp. but as for that... cloud, who has seen a lot of last moments-- ]
Even in this circumstance?
[ watching a movie play out in humiliating fashion ]
[ truly wish shinobu were less emo so she could fully appreciate how much cloud is trying. it wounds me. ]
I'm less angry at someone trying to frame me than everything else that went on tonight. Not to say I wouldn't be angry at whoever it was, but they should've made it a quicker kill, if they wanted me to be voted for.

she deliberates how she should say this. ]
If I could have been braver, in regards to Dimitri.

[ he doesn't even mean romantic just. generic. ]
Or do you mean trying to protect him?
no subject
I know he is dear to me.
[ she has no problem acknowledging or admitting that, generically. ]
Was I trying to protect him? I heard truth in Lup's and Harrowhark's words, so I didn't argue, but I... still did not want to admit anything.
no subject
... You think it's weak, not being able to bring yourself to join the accusations on him?

[ she feels bad for many reasons, but that's one of them. ]

[ because he's stupid like that. ]
It makes me a little hypocritical because were I visited by a shadow, I would also want to be found above others.
[ because she is unfortunately also stupid like that. ]
I don't want to have to see him go.

I had to wonder, if part of the reason he pulled away from solving Sylvain's case was because he was afraid it could be me.
[ with all the wisteria scattered about. ]
... Even if I could skip his execution, I couldn't bear to.
no subject
[ he looks at her carefully ]
... Yeah. I get that.
no subject
[ but she isn't sure about it. she looks conflicted, as she said, and thoughtful. ]
... I'd want to see anyone I care about in their last moments.
[ as much as it hurts.
or even if they're dressed like alice in wonderland. ]

[ but for as much as she wants to believe in the good of people, she won't dismiss how terrible people can be either, especially in a murdergame. ]
Even if it's mind numbingly ridiculous or stupid.

[ she can't even smile like the bitch she is right now. ]
I wouldn't poison a human, even at my worst.
no subject
[ just thinking about that one time the entire game got poisoned, anyway ]
I believe you. But if Sylvain caught on so quick, you can't expect this person to know you too well.
no subject
[ does she look like the type to go to the bar? ]
I'd say it's more likely someone from the animal group.
[ chasma, she means. but watch her be wrong. ]
no subject
You think? I know it has to be someone pretty tall, so... that doesn't leave a lot of options.
no subject
[ she gives a dainty shrug. ]
That would make the most sense to me.
