[He flinches at the touch, and he pulls away from it. It's more of a natural reaction to being touched than him pulling away from her specifically though, he's always been iffy about being touched.]
But I was the one at the end who said it was one of those five! And I voted for her!
...I guess let's investigate what we can for now [haha she won't be able to help] and if it doesn't seem like we're coming up with anything... maybe we should try to look at the goose hint from another angle?

It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said anything.
[He might also be trying to apologize for putting the heat on Lila, but. Yeah.
At least he didn't immediately hide?]
no subject
looks up at that, and reaches out to put a hand on his shoulder.]
Hey, no, that's not... there were, like, forty of us in there. You didn't make anyone vote the way they did.

But I was the one at the end who said it was one of those five! And I voted for her!
no subject
well
unfortunately. she pauses at that.]
...why? Because she volunteered?
no subject
[He does sound guilty about it though.]
no subject
[she shakes her head]
You really think it was one of us five?
no subject
I just...want to find someone who was involved. So I can ask them why they did it.
no subject
[she got voted for though! clearly someone suspected her.]

...you already said you didn't do it. I can talk to Denji. Are you close to Beau or Tsuyukasa?
no subject
...but Tsuyukusa... he's harder to get a read on. I don't think it was him, either, because he has an aversion to shoes, but...
I can try to talk to them both.
no subject
But don't tell everyone, if you do find who did it. I don't want them to get hurt now, it's pointless to have more bloodshed.
no subject
[probably.]
But... what if they hurt someone again?
no subject

no subject
...I don't know. Someone probably is lying, but it doesn't sound like any of them are.
no subject
...I guess let's investigate what we can for now [haha she won't be able to help] and if it doesn't seem like we're coming up with anything... maybe we should try to look at the goose hint from another angle?
no subject
...it wasn't me either.
no subject
[a beat.]
...I kinda get the feeling you'd just say you did it if you did? Because... you'd have a reason, if you did it.
