camena | homophonic: vash

Uh... A lot of things kind of happened in trial, so you have to specify.

[ Vash isn't the type to hold grudges, so he eats his fake ice cream peacefully. ]

[ hmmm. yep. fake ice cream good. ]

Never mind.

Huh? Now I'm curious.

[ Running through trial in his head like a cassette tape... ]

Was it the Razlo reference?

... Sure. Or, like, spending 99% of the trial convinced he was the culprit again.

Honestly, the evidence, the injuries, they were very... Weird, right? It was weird? The hint?! Too!! Was weird?! It all weirdly aligned?! I knew he couldn't have! That was his adoptive older brother [ he doesn't know about ooc choice dictating the funny ], but I was sweating a little!

I just fortunately knew that Kyoko tried asking Wolfwood out and got rejected... But I don't understand how nails worked into this! Even then, it... Felt bad to accuse someone who was going to be erased tomorrow.

[ It might have been the efficient and effective choice, but it doesn't feel right, even if she killed Wolfwood. ]

You were just trying to play the game as intended. It's okay. Livio doesn't take it personally, either.

Yeah, it all kind of lined up. I was mad, but it's not like I'd keep pushing if it hadn't actually seemed feasible.

[ but. well. he still killed setsu so she does not particularly care if livio takes it personally or not? ]

... It sucks. It's choosing between sacrificing one—probably two—innocent people, or putting her through torture tomorrow instead of a quick and simple erasure. But I do think Shu was right. That sitting around just waiting to die isn't that much better.

No, even I thought it seemed likely.

[ Even though he had no intention of voting for Justice, he can't say it didn't look very close... It fit in such odd ways. ]

I prefer peace myself. [ I don't like violence. ] But... I met a lot of people at home in No Man's Land who prefer to leave a mark on the world—to show they once lived, and they meant something.

... I still wouldn't wish execution upon anyone here, but I want to see her fight because her life is important and worth fighting for. I want her to believe that.

[ I still awful. Even when trying to change how I see this, it still feels... Awful. ]

I just wish that people who want to leave their mark on the world would focus on doing something good. But—I know that No Man's Land isn't exactly conducive to doing good things.

I'm sure that she still believes that. Or she wouldn't have fought back and tried to survive that night.

Unfortunately, it's part of the culture.

[ A shrug. Good people exist everywhere, but also freaks. ]

It just seemed—her thoughts... I hope you're right, Alex.
