... It's frustrating to have to doubt someone when they seem so scared. And it's even more frustrating because it's not even really her, it's a demon. But she has to get punished. [ Killed. ]
[ her tone holds no trace of anger though - it's calm, even. this isn't a scolding, this is advice. ]
If the people around you are uncertain, figure out why. If your gut says something's wrong, listen to it. Pretending nothing's wrong helps no one, least of all yourself.

[ Escha's naive, but the good news is that she takes criticism well. ]
It's not good to be completely swayed by numbers, but it's also not good to ignore them on instinct. I'll have to be more careful.

[ she's said what she wanted to say, and doesn't know where to go from here. ]
... Just keep what I said in mind. That's all.
