What a tantrum he threw. [ top to bottom. ] As if his actions were valid and justified instead of wretched, selfish cruelty.
...Still. Perhaps it is better, in that we were able to vote for him. [ frankly it wouldn't have been as satisfying, and... for temenos, at least, the truth is the most important, above all. ] I feel no dissatisfaction in understanding he will face his maker in an embarrassingly public spectacle tomorrow.
[ temenos's expression softens, too, though it's into quiet concern. yeah. ...yeah. ]
I imagine that matters, Saya. [ that she's trying.
there's a little pause. ] ...I'll admit, I had also figured it out, last week. We talked it over, and even talked about the potential of consequence - that perhaps someone would target him.
But, I hadn't thought for a moment it would end up like this.
I thought someone would try to kill him this week, too. I didn't think... any of the people left were cruel enough to use one of us to hurt him instead.
[ temenos is usually a pretty good read on people, with the exception of one single person back home. the familiarity of this particular situation stings, and his brow furrows. ]
...No, neither did I. [ just like arcanette did. right there under your nose. ] I don't believe Adlet to be particularly smart, or to be hiding that on purpose - but it is a grim, painful reminder of how very little many of us actually know about each other, and about the capability of a person when pushed to snap.
Reaction makes us capable of both great and terrible things. Acting without logic can sometimes lead to the cruelest logic of all.
It's going to make things difficult if anyone else decides to take revenge for something that happened on a previous week. But I don't know what to do about it, since we just fall asleep on Thursday nights...
[a pause, as she digs her heel into the ground. ]
I didn't... I should have, but I didn't realize how many people still have the wrong idea about what happened last week.

[the fact that he did it to hurt reigen... she is so mad. she's so ready to throw hands.]
Whatever happens tomorrow, I hope it's agony for him.

he smiles but it's not very nice. ]
Agreed. I pray that it is miserable, embarrassing, and contains no dignity.
no subject
she smiles a little, just as awful.]
Hehe, just like that. I want him choking on his own blood and crying for mercy. It's the least he deserves.

[ the :'))))) energy here ]
... Have you been able to keep Reigen company?

[adlet did not get midtrialed only because they still needed to vote for somebody. her smile drops here, though.]
... Mm, yeah. I don't know if it's helping, but I'm trying.
