[ cigarette is in his mouth, so she may have his hands. they are still scarred as shit. but it's okay. ]
...they will. I worry less about it because everybody lost someone important, so their focus will be in different directions. [ But interesting of her to say that. ] Does...that mean your team got some weird messages about him, too?
Yeah. Froggystyle got similar messages. One of the messages I've seen says that pretty much everybody left got similar. So...what do you think that means for tomorrow?
...we won't be able to use "who knew about this message?" to narrow it down. We couldn't to begin with, since we're not supposed to discuss those messages privately, but... if pretty much everyone received something along those lines, anyone potentially had motive to go after him.
[her ears droop.]
I think that most will approach his case as the one that should have happened. So... focus is likely to be on Setsu and Valerie, since they shouldn't have died.
Which is a problem yeah. Anyone could've chosen to act in the moment if the message was convincing enough. [ ... ] I feel bad for Amelia and Livio though. That was still their teammate, but...you might be right that people will prioritize the others because of it. We should try to be fair, but...the possibility is high of ignoring it if we get leads elsewhere.
Yeah. We'll do our best tomorrow to figure out what might've happened and make a decision as a group. [ a frown. ] At least with almost half our number...it might be easier.
Yeah. I think...it's still more disadvantages than advantages in this case. It's never a great feeling thinking about how many people we've managed to lose all these weeks.
That's also true. [ it's a right way of thinking, he thinks. ] ...I do think there are some cases where it's good to lose someone, but they aren't really applicable here either.
Right, exactly. Or...I don't know. A person who's suffering and you can't figure out another way to help them. Sometimes losing them is safest and the most painless thing you can do.

Your examples are a little more pertinent in a place like this where we still don't really know what people may or may not do.
Kindness and realism are both necessary. If you have too much of one and not enough of the other, you'll run into trouble, no matter which one you have more of. It will just be a different kind of trouble.
See, you get it. I feel like sometimes I'm explaining the whole thing wrong and everybody thinks I'm a pessimist.
[ it's because you are, jonas, but it's fine. ]
...it's how we have to approach trials, too. What's the most kind option, and what's realistic. Those instances are a little harder to balance though, I think.
[(jonas voice) i am not a pessimist. i am an optimist, frequently proven wrong.]
I don't disagree - although... that's often easier said than done.
[what do you do when the smartest play is to vote for a team with a certain number of people but that team is all your biases so you just don't want to.........]
No kidding. [ this is also his dilemma, actually. ] It kind of just makes you wonder "what are we supposed to do now?" Especially if there isn't time to find a new answer. I think...that's what's going to make the next couple of weeks even harder.
As long as people remember that, yeah. [ people get so insane during trials, it's impressive. ] But good to know there're still people willing to be a voice of reason. I'll take what I can get.

Losing someone shouldn't feel anything but bad, I think. It wouldn't feel like you were losing someone, if it felt good.
