[ he is taken by such complete surprise that he

does not know how to react ]

[fluffier]

[ She gives him a little squeeze before drawing back, the concern is big. ]

Are ya still angry?

[dotcom]

Yes.

[ there's no point in lying about it, since she'd be able to tell. ]

[fluffier]

Because he did it, or because he confessed?

[dotcom]

[ he has to think about it. ]

Both. I already knew it was him before though. He told me a few days ago.

[fluffier]

Ya didn't drop the bullet because of waves, didja?

[ should've left it alone... ]

[dotcom]

No. Of course I wouldn't.

[ honestly he was offended people thought he would. ]

You all should have just dropped the subject.

[fluffier]

... Yeah.

[ she looks duly admonished ]

I think Mineo woulda confessed regardless though.

[dotcom]

Maybe. But I'd be less angry.

[ since mineo basically pointed everyone to the one thing that would give him away. confessing after the time limit is up is one thing. ]

[fluffier]

[ Glances away. ]

Sorry, shoulda just believed in ya that it wasn't important if ya left it behind. But... nothing's gonna happen to 'im. No one voted today, which is really amazing.

[dotcom]

[ he sighs. ]

No. But I won't be surprised if someone goes after him.

[fluffier]

Why? Because someone has to die each week?

[dotcom]

We don't actually know if that's true.

But you heard what Primrose said.

[fluffier]

[ is denial an emotion? ]

No, but she didn't- She wouldn't vote for Mineo. Everyone knows he's not dangerous.

[dotcom]

She said she wouldn't but only if she got to take care of it after trial. So, it's up to her to decide on if she wants to actually follow through with that or not.

[fluffier]

[ This is extremely upsetting to think about. ]

But that was before she knew it was Mineo. I'll just ask her and settle it. No one voted this week, and that... has to be a positive sign.

[dotcom]

[ he sighs. ]

... we'll see. Trying to pressure her to a decision may have a bad effect, but I can't say I'm too close to her to know how she'd react.

[fluffier]

[ She doesn't particularly want to bully Primrose either. ]

It ain't easy to stop worryin'... [ Glances at him. ] Would you have killed Childe?

[dotcom]

Honestly? I would just be a poor choice to do it. I don't have any combat skills.

[ like, just logically speaking, it would be dumb of him to make the attempt. ]

[fluffier]

... I thought you might've helped. When we were thinkin' 'bout accomplices.

[dotcom]

[ there's a bitter laugh. ]

He'd never let me actually go out there and help him.

[fluffier]

Yer upset he didn't ask ya to help him.

[ Just a statement. ]

[dotcom]

I'm upset about a lot of things.

[ it's... complicated, and that's evident in his tone and just also. everything else. ]

[fluffier]

Well. [ Her concern is obvious, but her tone suggests she knows this won't go anywhere. ] If ya ever wanna unload yer laundry list, I'm here for ya.

[dotcom]

I probably won't.

[ it has nothing to do with her, honestly. he just refuses to vent in general. ]

It's been a long day for everyone, anyway.
