Barring the possibility that one of you won Luke-kun's auction, I think it left little to the imagination.
[The list, after elimination, was... pretty short. Ichinose pauses, just for a second, before she smiles.]
... But just so you know, I don't plan to turn any of you in for a lynching. Doesn't matter who it turns out to be. I was one hundred percent sincere what what I said previously. It's easy to talk about justice and punishment when no one has the full picture. [A hum.] Unless your opinion hasn't changed? You were pretty set back then. "Don't do something you can't take the consequences for," right?
[...this feels like a trap question, so he pauses to debate what to say.]
I still think that's true. But I also think we don't have the full picture of what's going on. So it's obviously harder to really convict people. All we can do is work on the rules the school gave us. Vote for someone. Expel them.
None of this is right no matter how you look at it, Ichinose-san, and you know it.
I never said anything about right or wrong, Taichi-kun. [She waves her hand like, no-no.] Your first fallacy was trying to apply morality to a situation that totally lacks it. We've all indirectly murdered someone by now, all to save our own skin.
[Please... Calm your protagging.]
It's just, I'm wondering, you would still think it's true if it was Yamato-kun?

[he did in fact say none of it. trials and voting and executions included.]
...but yeah. If it was Yamato, I would feel the same way. But I already know it's not, and I would know if it was.
