[ She breathes out to calm herself because he's not wrong. She knows and agrees, but it doesn't make her any less angry. ]
The rules were crafted to create as much pain as possible. Objectively, I can recognize the effectiveness.
[ She can push away her feelings enough for that. ]
And it's not like the wrongly accused don't deserve a chance.
[ It just doesn't make anything easier for anyone. ]

They deserve one, but...
[ he sighs. ]
The people doing the execution aren't volunteers. They may not have even voted for the person up there. There really isn't anything just about just switching from one innocent life to another.

There is no fairness in this. I know that as well as anyone else. With the items they're given, too—

It's not even laughable.

The executions at the village were... much more straightforward. The one executed never had a chance to make it out.
[ they were kind of held against their will, so it's not like they could fight back. ]

The first execution at the island was straightforward like that, too.
[ She can't really bring herself to smile even in an obviously fake as a coping mechanism way. ]
It makes me sick to wish for something like that again.

I won't lie and say that killing isn't something I'm not accustomed to. I am a weapon, after all.
[ it's what he was literally forged for. ]
But... there really is no point in forcing us all to do these games.

[ Shinobu's job is to slay. She can't say she doesn't think some killing isn't justified, but for her, circumstances matter. Reasons matter. ]
The point is to try to break us.

I don't think we're all broken just yet, but that trial—
[ There is no mirth in her smile. ]
It made the cracks in everyone more visible.

[ he goes quiet for a moment, and then nods. ]
... it did make a few things more clear, yes.

It made me... a little tired to see.

... me too.
I think that, this time around has been a lot harder for people than their first game.

There hasn't been any time or distance for any of the hurt that's built to go elsewhere.

Basically... and I'm sure everyone was ready to return to whatever was waiting for them, so this is an even bigger upset than before.
[ he sighs. ]
As long as we're actually reaching the end like we think we are...

As long as the end we're reaching is a positive one...
[ She smiles because she doesn't want to show anything but a smile right now. ]
I don't think it'll be enough, but it will be a start.

Mm. I just think that at this point, we are probably too far in to change the general attitude of everyone...
[ he sounds rather regretful about this. ]
But at the very least, I don't think people have forgotten the larger goal, so as long as people don't go against that.
[ although the way he says that implied he would. probably do something if anyone attempted that. ]
