She goes quiet for a moment, staring down at her interlocked hands.]
I don't know, Shigeo-kun. Is... it cruel just to be confused?
I'm gonna ask more about it if I can, but... I was lucky that I was the only one that voted like that. If a bunch of people did that thinking it was gonna help... a lot of people could die on accident.
Sometimes they talk about it like a person, and sometimes like a thing. But whatever it is, it's making decisions that don't take into account the feelings of others.
[Mm. That much, she can agree to immediately, a firm nod towards Mob. Yona and Virid both... they didn't deserve to suffer.]
I don't want to see that happen again, Shigeo-kun.
My leader said there's gotta be another way to get nova for our own memories. A way that doesn't involve killing anybody else. I don't know what it is yet, but...
Yeah. That was what the Realm wanted us to do before, you know? So doing things like that with each other... that should be good enough?
[Still, she has to pause.]
I wonder if there's more we can do, though... By ourselves. I don't want people to be scared that they have to do what Virid-kun did in order to keep their memories.

Nobody ever voted for Yona-chan.
When I voted, I refused to choose Virid-kun. I knew not voting was dangerous. So I voted for myself. That's why my name was there.
My leader said that what I did... it messed something up.

[It didn't even occur to him not to vote for him. He did it, after all.]
no subject
I didn't want to see him die.
Refusing to vote meant removal, and a tie meant that as well. But they never said voting for yourself wasn't an option.
... The Realm didn't like it, though.
no subject
[How does that make any sense.]
no subject
So it changed my vote. Yona was just the one it chose to take my place.

[He's upset on her behalf?]
All you wanted was to be kind to Viridian-san, and they did something so cruel.

no subject
It's kind of sad, isn't it...? To not know how other people are feeling... Wouldn't that get lonely?
no subject
[But. . . ]
That might be true, but it doesn't make it okay. What happened to Viridian-san and Yona-san was too cruel.

I don't want to see that happen again, Shigeo-kun.

We gotta find it.

We have to make sure no one thinks that!
no subject
Mmm. I'm gonna try to say something tomorrow. Maybe at lunch or something, when everybody's together.
What are you gonna do, Shigeo-kun??
