[He makes a little bit of a face, mostly frustration.]
I guess... we can't leave a story unfinished. But I don't get what that means. Do we finish the year? Should be not finish the year? Do we have to do something else?
I guess finishing the year would be like finishing the story. We'll have to be prepared... for whatever this place has in story for us. Until then, we can try to... play along with whatever stupid story it's attempting to make.
That sounds like bullshit to me. We're supposed to just stand here and wait and just watch the murders happen and there's not anything we can do about it?
You know that's not what I fucking mean. [she says, sharply.] It's being done to help, but what, we just have to stand by and just be like, okay! Time to sit and wait to be fucking murdered! Like, helpful or not, we're still getting killed, Riku!
What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to just sit here and let someone else solve my problems for me.
I know that. I agree! Caleb is the one who doesn't.
[He did not mean to throw Caleb under the bus actually, and so he sort of looks surprised, like he maybe shouldn't have said that.]
No--I mean. Nevermind. I don't think we should lie down and die. But if it's trying to make us play this game... we're going to have to... I don't know. If they're saving people, they're saving certain ones, right? Ones in danger.
If we get rid of them all, we'll lose them and those people. There's no telling what this place will do to the rest of us if it's not getting what it wants--a story.
And fuck this place. I'm not going to just give it what it wants, are you kidding me? On what fucking authority does it have to play with us like this?
[even if it did have authority, she'd hate it, let's be real]
He's worried because of what Otome said at the trial. About it being to help.
[He looks exasperated. Why is this just SORA. Gently, he jabs her with his elbow. His ear!]
On the authority it could obliterate someone right in front of us without any warning! Look, I'm not disagreeing with you here. I don't want to let this place control me either.
But I want--to plan! I don't want one of our friends to die in front of all of us because we decided to be rash, even if dying apparently is helping. We can't all... just die.

On the other, I have no idea what else we can do than finish the year. Not really, uh. Seeing any other options, here.

A bad one, that's for sure.

Are you really going to try to stop every murderer when they've already told you it's being done to help?
What happened to Adora was for a reason, right? I don't think what she said at the trial was a lie.
