[a huffed laugh]

Somehow, our conversations always turn out like this. And here I am, trying to be serious for once.

[sort of]

[ he sighs, moving to run a hand through his hair but he aborts the movement halfway. ]

It was a pretty shitty experience.

Yeah.

[this whole thing is a shitty experience, he thinks. but Akira himself hasn't been through anything nearly as horrible as Toi]

. . . I'm sorry. That you had to go through that. [. . .] Were you close to Asch-san?

... we talked. Mostly things about burning this place to the ground.

[ it was therapeutic. ]

[SOUNDS THERAPEUTIC]

[Akira's lips curve into a smile]

Arson does sound pretty stress-relieving, it's true.

It seems even better now...

[ he is definitely

leaning more towards fire ]

Make sure we've all escaped the mansion before you set fire to the curtains. You don't want any accidental casualties.

Yeah, yeah...

That's the last thing we need.

[a soft snort]

It is.

[ANYWAY. . . ALL THAT SAID. . .]

. . . it took a lot of guts, though. To do what you did. Even if they forced it upon you.

... it was either that or die, right?

[ he frowns. ]

He seemed like he was suffering.

I think he was.

[he echoes, albeit quietly]

But. . . why was he even like that in the first place?

... apparently he was infected from his injuries.

[ a pause ]

I won't be. His transformation wasn't complete, so it won't transfer to me just 'cause I got hurt.

Ah.

[a pause, before he mutters thoughtfully to himself]

So that can happen. . .

... also, if we vote incorrectly again and the person didn't fight against a monster, we can't assume they still won't turn into something like that at the execution.
