If Meltryllis-san is still dangerous. . . if there's a chance she'll kill again. . . what will you do about it?

Either way, we don't know a thing about how these play out. Meltryllis herself made no secret of the fact that she's willing to kill as her regular self.... but I didn't get the same impression from Nikki.
You were sleeping, but she talked a lot about how little human lives mattered to her and that killing them wouldn't be any skin off her nose. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

"All guests must vote for a culprit to be executed for the sake of the house."

If we find a good enough alternative to contain these transformations.... execution might not be necessary.
If.

. . . no. I think. . . Nikki-san was a very kind person at her core.
I don't know Meltryllis-san at all. We haven't spoken beyond the words we exchanged at the trial.
