[she looks kind of unsure, but in the end, she nods.]
Yeah... I believe you now.
What you're saying makes sense, too. About getting around the penalty for rule-breaking. I'm not really... a good person or anything, so I don't know if I could do that. Voting for myself, even if in a roundabout way.
[Adora hesitates for a moment at that, biting her lip, before she hangs her head.]
... At the time, I just couldn't think of anything else to do. But to be honest, I don't know if it was really that good of a thing to do.
I think... doing that just means I'm putting the burden on everyone else. [Isn't that it? She's just removing her own agency, her own guilt, while everyone else still bears it. A weak laugh, and she rubs the back of her head.]
It's... just something I've been thinking about.
But anyway, I just... want you to know that I think what you're doing is important. Questioning everything, I mean. Coming up with theories, even if they're not popular ones. I want to believe in everyone [In Otome] but if anyone's gonna actually figure out what's going on...
Rita reminds Adora of Entrapta, but honestly, she seems like she's already leaps and bounds ahead of the techie princess when it comes to trying to understand people.]
But I think that's kinda a strength, too, if that makes sense.
If there's something or someone out there pulling the strings... I don't think this group'll let that happen for long. Everyone's just too... weird. [She means that in a nice way.]

It'll be someone like you.

Thanks, though.
no subject
Sooo... it's fine, right?
[Besides, the evidence did point to her uncannily. If Adora was anyone else, she'd wonder if that was on purpose, but she's a himbo so she doesn't.]
I guess I just don't want you to stop theorizing just because of this. We're... still gonna need it.
no subject
Yeah...
I can't stop because of one screwup. There still has to be something I can do here.
[a sigh...]
I'm used to working with formulas and technology and the like. People are a lot more complicated.
