Exactly, well done. It's precisely as you say - if the person who was protected from exorcism that week, or any week, is chosen, no one would have to die.
I'm not confirming anything. Nor would I think it really wise for someone to try something like that when there are actual demons close to being caught.
Well, you should confirm it. I spoke with Nathan after the trial, and he says we have no reason not to trust each other. Our only enemy here is the demon, meaning we shouldn't be making enemies with each other.
At the beginning, I knew very little about whether there was anyone here trustworthy. I didn't have much to go on, and didn't want to chance preventing a demon from being executed. I felt I at least had some reasons to think you weren't one.
...Now, of course, I no longer think my logic coming to that conclusion was sound. But I did have to choose someone.
[Katy shifts her weight. This is oddly relatable.]
It sucks, being in the dark, but taking a shot is always better than sitting on your hands. Your logic was sound enough for what you knew at the time. I would've appreciated a heads up, but we're all trying to survive. I get it. We're square.
He certainly feels quite free sharing others' business. At this point, I honestly wonder what the point even is of secrecy, besides the strict requirements. Whoever the demons are, they surely already know as much as anyone does.

You really aren't, but getting all of us out of here alive is more important than holding a grudge. I'm listening.

You've had the misfortune of being framed twice. But the week between, Tamamo was framed. Did you ever come to learn why?

[She paces a little around the clinic, checking out the supplies.]
Are you aware, by the way, that there are certain people here with special roles and abilities? And did you know Escha had one?
no subject
...She could protect people from getting exorcised. Shit.
[And then the other shoe drops as she realizes, right, it didn't work. That's... unfortunate, to say the least.]
If we would've fallen for it, no one else would've had to die.

I was protected. That's why you named me.
[She blows out a breath. Well that certainly changes some things.]
Well played, I'll give you that.

[But she looks a little relieved, too.]

[There is a demon, but...]
I confirm it. I may not be particularly soft, but I'm not in the habit of condemning anyone to death without reason.
no subject
...And, hm.]
I've played this game before. I know the rules. You're the one that chose to protect me.
[Is she sure? No, but like she said, she knows the rules.]
Why?

[She holds out a hand so they can shake on it.]
Does anyone else know you have a role?
no subject
[Taking her hand, shaking it.]
A few do, yes. Quite a few, at this point.

[...]
I'd talk to Junpei if you haven't already.
no subject
[Though honestly at this point anyone will just assume Katy is being framed even if she does murder.]
I have. Have you been talking to Junpei?
no subject
[She doesn't sound the most impressed by it all.]

That's exactly right! Nathan told me flat out that the demons could give a shit who's got which role! The whole point is to work together!
