[ it’s ok i truly need to emphasise how hard i passed out. it was something. ]
Probably the latter. The goal is erasure, isn’t it? One down, and presumably one more to go.
[ it’s not said coldly, or cruelly. just bluntly. the rules have been there all along, people just didn’t fully understand what it meant or didn’t want to believe it would happen. that’s been his experience, at least.
[he looks thoughtful about that before shaking his head. there's a lot of things buzen doesn't understand, sure but - ]
If there's anything that I expect, it's death and - I guess Erasure comes along with that.
I think it's more frustrating... setting people up to take action, and then punishing them for the same thing. But it's in the hands of the people who vote, so they're supposed to take responsibility for a life.
It's more complicated than just the Erasing.
[it's the shoving blame around, when people are just doing their best]
They're setting people up to win if they get away with it. But only if they get away with it.
[ .... ]
Funny thing to do, in a team situation. Something that that promotes a lack of unity, especially if we start talking about voting afterwards. Imagine voting for someone you saw as a friend, or casting the decisive vote for a killer someone in your team cared about.
The idea of voting for a team in general - if none of them did it, then who gets chosen? There's a lot of things that I might not get, Shu-san, but I know that if people think that Rang-san is dangerous, they might vote for us. But if he didn't do anything wrong, what if it's Matsu or Dee-san that'll get hurt?
[his brow furrows in irritation, a flash of anger]
Not even counting how I feel about it... the guilt that'll hit everybody'll be pretty bad. But if people are desperate and scrambling, then it's not impossible.
Then you’d have to find a way to get him up in that selfie studio, and not the rest of you. And if none of you did anything wrong, you have to decide whose turn it is to die.
[ messy, really. making such a big deal of teams and then promoting so many ways to turn them against each other, whether as groups or within the teams themselves. ]
…
If you find yourself in that situation, let me know. No one actually has to speak up at the end of a trial, but we’d know if we got the team wrong at a bare minimum.
I can at least make it quick and relatively painless for any of you. Hopefully it won’t come to that but— [ it’s a skill he has, and ultimately, it’s a kindness in its own way. ]

Anything like you expected?

[if he's being honest. he'll let his head rest against the chain of the swing.]
Just think it all seems pretty messed up.

I feel like... none of it really accomplishes what it set out to do. Or maybe it did - and I don't like what it was meant to do.
