We can't let a promise be broken.

[ he looks down at his own pinky finger. ]

We may have failed today, but we'll keep working.

[he nods.]

Yeah. No other option... That's what Clem always used to say, too.

[...]

What about you, though? What do you think of this group?

We are definitely a mess!

[ 100%! these bitches be fighting!! ]

But it'll be fine in the end. I believe that.

[he laughs despite himself, startled.]

There's... stuff that could be improved in every big group, I guess.

Mm. And I'm sure we won't improve in a lot of regards. Some people don't want to budge from certain things.

We'll make it work.

Was it like that in your last group, too?

... we only caught two killers in the last one.

Right... Shinobu mentioned something like that.

[frowning!!]

But in the end, you still brought everyone back, right?

We did.

But I know getting it wrong does mess with people.

It does, yeah. We only got it wrong twice and one of them was alright because of a role someone had, but..

[he takes a breath.]

It's always hard to watch. But here... It isn't like the people who kill are really at fault.

It's not. But... it turns into an issue of, if the hostage situation is truly legitimate, if we vote for someone innocent then we are just adding on another person who couldn't save theirs.

I know, and that's horrible. But I don't want this to turn into a numbers game or anything... This situation is awful no matter what happens.

[after that, though, he pauses for a moment.]

Have you read the contract, yet?
