I intend to. [Dirk thinks about the people they have left. He doesn't have Dave's knack for spotting people who are strange, but—]
Light Yamagi. Quer, I think. Saya, Tsurugi obviously, Velvet. You're killing off Light and Saya anyway. Tsurugi has agreed to your side. Velvet and Quer are the biggest risks. Other people will be willing to kill once this is out, because it proves everything is pointless. If they're smart, they won't target people who have agreed to be the Innkeeper.
Not that people are always smart.
[Seriously:]
When you do this tomorrow, lay out your reasons, give them all the information you know. Especially explain why you had to do the kills the way you did, because people are not going to let go of that. Apologize for taking the choice away from us, and tell everyone that you're bringing the Soldier to talk to us so that we can ask questions for ourselves and make our own choice. That's your best chance of not being lynched.
Your worst shot is if you make it sounds like it is in any way our fault. Don't call people panicky and stupid and dangerous, don't call them idiots for wanting something else. There are a lot of people who would make the same choice you intend to. Don't be an dick by focusing on how you couldn't trust us.
The more time you spend justifying the choices that hurt us, the more you'll come off as self-righteous assholes. Just explain the damned rules behind the deaths you're going to cause, say what your intentions are, and let the stupid statue give us the rest of the information we need to make our own choices. If this is a trust game, you need to trust us.
