I'm pretty sure it was Percival who left you the note that you were treating us like children.
[Kaito takes the bed so Dirk sits opposite on the couch.]
Quer probably wouldn't agree, I don't know. Velvet would agree to go back home and finish getting her revenge. If everyone's going to die and get resurrected anyway, why wouldn't we kill? Why not bother to get an extra incentive out of Hell while we're here?
I trust the three of you to sacrifice yourselves. I also trust other people to do the same. Andersen, if he doesn't get killed before the end, would take the role easily, and would handle it a lot better than any of you.
Thing is, I'm not angry about the secret-keeping. I'm angry because you didn't give anyone a choice. And yeah, I know why, I'm not an idiot. It's about trust, and you don't know me well enough to give me that choice. Though I would've figured that my devotion to Dave would have swayed you one way at least.
You might not have known, though, but I'm pretty sure Dave wants to stay dead. You also might not know that if I get resurrected, all I'm going back to is my own eternal hell: an immortal life that's glitched out, alive forever and unable to die or do anything. You probably didn't know that Jake was already dead and that all you'd be giving him was the chance to be dead again.
You couldn't have, not without asking. And I don't know if you planned to ask or if you even could have. I don't know if it's possible to do anything about any of that. Sure, I'd go back to a personal Hell to save others here, but if there was a way to avoid it I sure as fuck would want to.
But I don't know. Not how the deal works, not why we can't all die at once, not any of it.
It's a good thing Andersen told us ahead of time. It gives you the opportunity to talk now, instead of at the chaos of the trial. Everyone knows that a person is smart, but people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals.
