Well, she's smart, yeah? She must've seen something I didn't see.
[He pauses again. This is the most he's thought about his words before speaking them.]
The last time I talked to her in private, I talked to her about how we had to help the killers. They can't confess, they'll be punished if ANYONE finds out what they did without them getting voted out. And at first I just wanted to find the killers and force them to apologize, but that was way before I found out that confronting them would make things worse.
I...think Susato saw that, before I did. So I think she lied on what she found out, to protect the killers. Because I don't wanna hurt any of them, and I know she didn't want to either. But me even saying something to them will hurt them, so she must have intervened before I could muck things up.
She really cared, you know? Even when it came to the killers, she cared. They need help, but there's so many rules on how we can help them without killing them.
It might have been. But I think you needed to hear that too, you know. That last part.
"That open heart and desire to understand the truth whatever it may be, that makes me certain you will be the key to finding our way through this." But that doesn't just apply to me, yeah? Everyone can do it, and everyone has to do it. One person can't bridge the gaps between everyone here.
That's true. One person can't do everything. He must reach out to others, and hold strong. [...He looks up at Rin.] There's...a strong meaning in that. There really is.
Yeah. Even if a person wants to help everyone, sometimes they have people they really dislike. Or who really dislike them. And if that person tries to help someone they have a bad rap with, it'll just make things worse. But if that person gets help from someone else, then they can help cover those areas where personalities clash.

[His eyebrows furrow together as he carefully folds the letter back up.]
She really was looking out for so many others. Myself, included. [...] I do wish she would have let me know, but...I suppose that was her mercy to me.

For the unity of everyone, yes? So that we can truly, honestly, work towards escaping this place. Once and for all.

See? Like that. It's kinda like a handshake, but you usually do it when you're agreeing with someone on something.
no subject
[Just...a bump?]
I see! How interesting. Like a thumbs up, yes? But its...fist against fist.
[please tell sholmes not to ask someone to fist him thank you]

[Maybe Sholmes will be spared from asking someone to fist him. Maybe.]
