Why should I trust you?

Man...I don't know.

[ miserably, she sits up ]

...what do you think about all this?

[silicone]

Mm, which part?

The Murder? The Trial? Execution? The way that Mondays still suck?

[huntressinred]

[ a half-hearted snort at the jab at Mondays ]

The trial. And...execution, I guess.

[silicone]

Well...

[ elbows on table as he kind of holds his head in his hands. ]

I think that we need to really catch someone every week, unless we want this to happen again. Even if it hurts, even if things are still unsolved.

And... I think that execution sucks. But everyone does at this point, right? I just. Don't see the point except to be cruel.

[ a beat ]

Oh, and I also just think it's insane too, don't worry.

[huntressinred]

Mmm.

...who did you vote for?

[silicone]

Froggystyle.

[ i hate this name ]

[huntressinred]

[ nods ] How close were you with them, anyway? ...Are you.

[silicone]

Not personally very close, but I liked them.

I mean. Gerard was pretty shitty towards us last trial. So I guess we weren't a fan of his as a group. Personally, I didn't know him well enough. Ylfa's sweet though... and Haru seems like a pretty normal guy, so.

[ shrugs quietly. ]

Who'd you vote for?

[huntressinred]

Also Froggystyle. But some folks are mad at those of us who did.

I don't know what else they wanted. It's not like we had anything on any of the other still-alive killers, and I can't just vote for someone who's innocent!

[silicone]

Let them be mad. I don't see who else we could have voted for at the moment. Not any of the victims could have been voted for.

[ curling his fingers into his palms. ]

So if anything, it was only pointing further at the case we had the most information on. I'm not sorry for voting how I did. I'm only sorry that this game's the worst thing since charades.

[huntressinred]

...yeah. That's how I feel about it.

Both about the voting, and about this being the worst game.

[silicone]

The choices we make are never going to feel good. Not even for the sake of trying to find closure, y'know...?
