For now, self-defense is only speculation.
Before you tear yourself up with guilt over this wild guess we've come up with.

It's possible that she would have felt she had a chance. That it was worth it to try.

You did fine.

I still find it foolish to accuse someone of murder over so little.

Early in the trial we went as far as assuring those who didn't want to be checked that they wouldn't become a suspect if they had an explanation that made sense. And she did.

We probably should have noticed her leg injury, yes.

But there is not always necessarily evidence. People can cover things well. People can hold secrets their whole lives.

The situation is hard to comprehend. There's still much we don't know, despite being trapped within its bounds.

As do I.

There is not much I can do for you, unarmed and in a different dorm, and sometimes under the influence of whatever it is that causes our curfew.

But I will look after you to the best of my ability.

Of course.

I mean this for you and yours as well. If you ever know of someone else who needs assistance as well, let me know.

We will all have each others backs.

I'm trying to be.

Being relied upon brings me strength as well.
