[ A small, huffed out, quiet breath of a laugh. ] As if they aren't suspicious of me now. And for something I can't even be sure of, either- what a joke.
Maybe someone will finally try to take advantage of the injury I keep exaggerating.
[ Julius. ]
What about you, though? If you were fine with me telling on you... Why didn't you admit it yourself?
Because it's none of their business! [ Oops, too much anger. Akane tries to dial it back and level out her tone, but she's still talking a little fast... ]
They're going to be suspicious of me no matter what I do or say, so why should I tell them anything? It wasn't relevant to what we were trying to figure out.
[ . . . Deep breaths. ]
... But if it's useful for you. It wasn't useful information for anyone to have, but--if it was useful for you...
[ Then that would be different. The same information can be used in different ways, by different people. ]
[ Akane thinks it's too much anger, but Julius thinks, privately, it might have been the most genuine he's seen her all day.
Carefully, he takes her hand in both of his own. ]
... I'm thankful for that. Really, I am. That someone would be willing to do that for me means more than you know. But, also... I thought you said you wanted to survive this.
[ Maybe he could have spoken up, thrown her under the bus as a distraction, but would it really have done any good? ]
With the amount of time we had left, and how pressured everyone was feeling, if Axel hadn't spoken up about Four ... Or if we'd heard sooner, that Four's actions were likely meant as a mercy kill...
[ She stares down at their hands. It's easier than making eye contact, and it's... Soothing. ]
... Like I said, all you need is to be less suspicious than someone else.
[ But that's not addressing that she had said she wants to survive, is it? Oh well. ]
Do you think everyone will just come back to us, next week? Not just you and me, but Valvatorez-san was voted for, too. And whichever of us had more votes...
... I wouldn't be surprised if people either did that, or tried to take us out Thursday, all things considered. And... I don't know. If the Corrupted this time is smart, and was neither of us, they'd probably leave us alone just because we'd draw suspicion away from them.
If anyone comes after us on Thursday, they'd probably be doing it of their own volition, I'd imagine. Otherwise, we can do our best to be open with the others here... But I'm sure they'll still look at us the same way come next week, unless there's something really obvious about whatever happens this next week.
[ they're getting way too used to this murder on a schedule thing. ]

You saw what the voting results were.
[ Him, Akane, Four. Not a very wide spread. ]
