[WEEK 4: Friday, post-investigation, room 112 probably; Yukina, Jay, Girge, Tsurugi]

[and sometime, after the commotion from the explosion and the investigation die down, Girge is once again approached by three familiar faces. they all look pretty serious, and they lead him back to Kaito's room-- Room 112]

[their official Hunter's meeting room]

Oi.

[he says, once the door is closed. his gaze is steady, not once flickering away from Girge. he seems very decided about something]

We know what we want to do.

... Well, it's a bit more complicated than that.

[l'arachel's death scene was

um]

...how complicated?

[she didn't see shit]

By L'Arachel, there was a bloody message that may or may not have been written by her.

"Justice" upside down.

...and Justice-san was found nearby...?

Yes. As far as I could tell, there was no conclusive evidence regarding what could've happened, however.

. . . are we sure L'Arachel was the one who wrote the message?

Not at all. Like I said, nothing conclusive.

...so people could wind up... very confused. I don't think it's going to be as close a vote as other trials have been.

[wait a minute]

...ah! If the votes seem like they're going to be split... the five of us voting together might be able to... [...oh, man. This sounds bad. She knows it, and she's mad that she thought of it. Maybe she's more of a demon than she wants to admit.] ...we might be able to execute someone who could be difficult to get the group at large to vote for, or who might be risky to target.

I think one of our main issues is the Mayor, because they alone can skew votes. If we're lucky, they might be one of the dead tonight.

[ he doesn't sound too thrilled about saying that, at least. ]

We'll know for certain once the trial starts... even if we don't ask, someone else is bound to ask Craftly-san or that information.

[She doesn't look too thrilled to be hearing it... but she agrees, if her little nod is any indication.]

The Mayor is the one thing keeping the others from coordinating a vote, though. Once they know every vote can be accounted for, we're less likely to see scattered votes.

Well, there are enough people who aren't in that group that it may still be somewhat scattered. It really depends on what direction the trial takes.

... After this weekend, though, we definitely need to focus on taking out that group.

...you're right.

[She looks down at her hands. She doesn't want to see any of those people die - not really - but... if it's not permanent...]

As long as we're able to save them at the end... it's fine.

[ he pats her shoulder. ]

...thank you, Jay-san.

. . . that's why we're doing this.

[he reaches for her hand :c fingers gently brushing against her palm]

I don't know if I'd say that any of this is "right," but. . .

[Don't mind Girge, who isn't actively interrupting, but he's definitely looking unimpressed from where he's standing.]

[don't judge us!!]

[your morals and friendship are weird!!!]

[maybe you should have tried this bonding friendship thing too!![

[he bonded with someone back home!!!!

and then died for him

does that count]

[. . . sure. we'll give it to you]

[YOU'RE weird!!!]

[you're the ones murdering when you don't want to!!]

...it's the choice that feels less wrong.

[Because she knows that none of them could live with themselves if they left the dead behind.]

Yeah.

[yeah. the lesser of two evils]

[and in the end, all that matter is whether they can live with themselves because of the choices they've made so far]
