I didn't like what I heard. But if it's how the foundation of the school handles those things when it happens, I don't know what else to do.

[illuminance]

You're from this world, aren't you? How can you just accept that this school functions like this?

[dormheads]

Because I'm from here and this has never happened?

[illuminance]

That should only make it harder to accept.

I don't know.

It's very difficult for us to trust anyone who isn't just an ordinary student like ourselves, right now.

[dormheads]

And we're supposed to trust you? We're not the ones with weapons, or the ones trying to get weapons, or magic.

Just saying.

[illuminance]

You are from the world that kidnapped us, in charge of the dorms we were forced into. With your own rooms, apart from ours.

Do you find it suspicious to want weapons and magic, when we've just seen two people killed?

[dormheads]

Not for defense. But having it all only means there'd be a lot of you with them.

[illuminance]

I think this is better than only some of us having them.

[dormheads]

If you say so. Just don't forget this is a school.

[illuminance]

A school where we are being killed.

I truly want to be sympathetic to you, and to trust you.

[dormheads]

We? Did you talk to her? Some of the others said she claimed to do it on her own.

That doesn't have anything to do with us. I don't like that it happens, but sometimes people die at school because someone does something crazy.

[illuminance]

I did speak with her, but she did not explain her motivations to me. Given that Doctor Yanagiya was made to fight against her will and that we were made to obey a curfew the same way, I haven't ruled out that Kaoruko was not in control of her actions.

But I will admit that this is not something I'm certain of, either. If this does turn out to simply be one girl's choice, the response to it was not encouraging.

I understand that accidents happen, but do you find nothing odd about the system of retribution?

[dormheads]

It's how the school decided to handle it a long time ago, I guess. There's only so much I can do about it.

Don't you have rules and policies you follow where you're from? What happens when you go against them?

[illuminance]

Demacian justice is certainly that of retribution. But this is not carried out by students and made spectacle of for unwilling children.

And even so, I don't even think that it's always right.

Do you?

[dormheads]

Not always.

But just because you think I'm a kid doesn't mean I wouldn't volunteer to defeat someone who did something bad.

[illuminance]

I would be somewhat less frustrated, had Doctor Yanagiya volunteered.

[dormheads]

You're mad about not having a choice.

Sorry, I don't have an an answer as to why the school wanted it to be that way.

[illuminance]

I'm upset about the entire situation, but the lack of choice in the matter is particularly frustrating. As well as the lack of clarity.

But if you don't have answers, you don't have answers. No amount of asking for them will create them.

[dormheads]

Try telling that to some of the others. They won't take "I don't know" for an answer.

[illuminance]

Sympathetic to you though I may be, I am sympathetic to them, too.

[dormheads]

Fine. Fair enough.

[illuminance]

I'm sorry. I didn't intend to pick a fight.

[dormheads]

Don't worry about it. You're just trying to find answers.
