It's not mean. You care about who you care about.

[He shrugs.]

But what I think is - if she killed Minako, maybe she did it for a reason. At this point, I don't really fucking care who killed who.

[applechemist]

I'd like to believe it was for a reason. I'd like to believe none of us would kill anyone without having a reason.

... But then - what are we supposed to do in trials? I know we want to at least avoid punishing someone innocent... But...

[ruffboi]

Yeah. I don't know. I think we have to catch somebody, but I also feel like - if they don't get caught, does it fucking matter?

[applechemist]

... It kind of doesn't.

But the more people who think that way, the more it becomes a popularity contest.

[ruffboi]

Yeah, that's true. If I didn't have Taako here, I might be fucked. I wasn't in a game with anybody. So I get that.

At the same time, I can't fault people for wanting to protect the people they love.

[applechemist]

I'll protect you.

[ That doesn't help with that hypothetical situation where Taako isn't around, probably, but. ]

If anything happens again. I'll help you however I can.

[ruffboi]

[He smiles at her, kind of touched by that?]

Thanks, Escha. I know you looked out for me already. I don't wanna cause trouble for you.

[applechemist]

It isn't causing trouble if it's something I want to do.

If it's something I would be frustrated at not having done, afterwards.
