[ lux returns the sigh, but then offers a weak, weary smile. ]

Well. Good thing that we voted correctly, overall. I suppose.

Hmph. I guess that's about the one way this could have gone worse.

We have to focus on the light, somehow.

[ hard to tell how much she actually believes that. ]

... I'm accustomed to killing those who kill. But that's in war.

I kill if I have to. If someone's a threat.

But... I don't think we had enough information to say if that's what she was or not.

She killed that boy. Didn't confess to it. Didn't justify herself to us.

[ ... ]

Yet I still think you're right. That didn't feel like the right fate for her to face.

Can't completely blame her for staying quiet. That trial was a joke, and we had no way of knowing what was going to happen afterward.

It wouldn't be easy to speak the truth knowing you may face some sort of... Mob "justice" for it.

Yeah. Not like we can actually trust anyone here, either.

I don't think that's right, either.

We should still try to trust one another.

Why? We're all strangers, aren't we?

Yes... But we're all strangers dragged into the same situation. It would be unwise to try to go about it as if we're not in this together.

"Together"? We practically sacrificed that girl. We'll probably be expected to do it again sometime, too.

... Mm. I don't feel right about what happened to her. And in the end, even a vote against the majority was not any more noble.

So no matter how chummy we all get with each other, there's a good chance that everybody's going to turn against somebody again.

It's still worth it.

We can't get through this alone.
