[ he listens to it all quietly. it's not that long ago that he'd have done something similar to ensure his own survival, is it? but, on the other hand... ]
It's not like she's the only one in this place like that.
She's the only one like this. It isn't work to her, and it isn't just a sense of satisfaction she'd get from it.
[his grip on the sake jug tightens, slightly.]
When she told me she'd kill if she learned any of us were corrupted-- she was laughing. Giggling like she thought it sounded fun. And she still thinks she's doing it for justice.
That girl is not who she lets everyone else see-- I don't think she ever stopped being angry last week, except when I was afflicted.
[there's another long pause, there.]
If you ask me, with a sense of false justice like that? She very well could have been who you were all looking for-- not that you'll believe I'm not just saying that because of our situation. If she hasn't killed already, she will.
To reduce the amount of bodies, and spares without partners. If I killed her and Kazuaki, my risk of death due to being unpaired went up-- and if the plan failed, I was still safe as long as we weren't caught.
[he looks a little offended, actually, because-]
She wouldn't have been hard to kill. There was just less personal risk involved... well, and then there's her position, but I didn't know that until after framing her.
[ he. should not sound fond considering the subject matter, but. also shirasu kinda deserves it a little. that. not the. three days of broken legs. that was a bit much. ]

... Can't see how you'd have anything to gain by lying to me about all that.
[ it's pensive. he's not stating outright that he believes shirasu, but he doesn't seem to doubt him, either. ]
So why not just try and kill her outright? Either way, you were hoping for the partner thing to save you. Is she that much stronger than you?

I almost think I'd have preferred getting the temper, honestly.

he also sounds a little fond if you listen close enough.]

Don't concern yourself with it.

[ like. matter of fact ]
I've been on the other side of Sol's grudges. He can get pretty intense.
no subject
[that's not really what it sounds like and shirasu knows it, he's just being a shit and seeing if lea will explain.]
no subject
Yep. I'm a multitasking kinda guy.
[ they both know that's not it :) ]
no subject
Fine, fine. Just what do you mean by intense, then?
