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.

[overlimit]

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.

[illuminance]

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

[overlimit]

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

[illuminance]

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

We should still try to trust one another.

[overlimit]

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

[illuminance]

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.

[overlimit]

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

[illuminance]

... 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.

[overlimit]

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.

[illuminance]

It's still worth it.

We can't get through this alone.
