Nothing in particular. I just wanted to know how it'd work, or if I'd run into any other murders that night. Of course, I wasn't expecting to be the target of the other one, but I guess that's karma for you.
I mean— you saw what happened to M&M from the same angle I did.
[ in a jail cell. ]
So you knew just how screwed you'd be if you got caught. Doesn't make any sense that you'd be willing to take that big a risk if you didn't think you were gonna get something out of it. Unless you just had some kinda death wish in the first place.
...And you didn't make much of an effort to keep anyone from figuring out it was you either, right? Using the weapon everyone already knew you had with you and all.
Well, I did try and obfuscate it, or else I wouldn't have bothered digging the bullets back out. And I obviously wasn't expecting to die with them still on me...
Doesn't usually occur to me not to use a gun for these, though.
I mean— you're not out there doing 'em on a regular basis, right?
[ this sounds more confident than the emotions feel and he hates it. ]
Like, I remember way back at the beginning of this thing, when we were talkin' about what fighting skills you had, and you seemed real hesitant about the idea of shooting humans then.

Um... I guess I was kind of hoping I'd wake up to the end of all this, or something. So yeah, limbo?

...Can you tell me what actually happened? Even if I'm not gonna like it, I still wanna know my team.

Not much to say there. I thought about killing just to see what'd happen and decided to commit when Norma-chan and I were both awake.
Which is why you never needed to feel responsible for anything—you could never have done anything about me.

[ yeah, that's. not too satisfying... though feeling how guarded she seems to be, he feels like there's got to be more to it. ]
What'd you think might happen?

I mean, I'm also pretty good at lying, Datz-san! Sorry, but you really had the poor luck of being on a team of killers.
[the emotional energy is getting a little manic now but there is also something oddly despairing about it.]
