They should've been given the chance to say it, and to fight for it. To at least try. But they didn't - they didn't even get the option to. Fuck the rulebook, on that one.
[ wenzhou, for all his matching anger, at least will in fact be reasonable with jonas. he shakes his head a little, but it's not to take back what he's said. when he speaks, the emotion is grave, serious, the anger tempered into something like steel as his voice remains even. ]
This entire system is one, long, cruel joke. Forcing people into an execution-style deathmatch isn't getting justice for anyone that's died. Capital punishment is legal in China, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Even as a cop dedicated to helping the people in my country. It's the same here.
Was killing Buzen wrong? Yeah, and it left more victims behind in the living that are going to grieve him for a long time now. But I won't forget the look on her face, on D's, on Guifei's, when they died. When the girls were cornered in trial. And if their hands were forced, like Lao Fukuzawa wants to find out, then even moreso.
[ he listens. that's all he can really do is listen, and he takes those words into account, and he doesn't try to interject and instead focuses on what wenzhou is saying and if it fits jonas's perception of what's been happening in this game. yes, they can both agree the whole system is long and cruel and fucked up. the public erasures are a horrible display, but...
there are some reasons that are better than others for the victims picked. he stands by that truth as well. ]
You may not forget the look on her face, but after hearing what she's claimed to be her reason for going through with it I won't forget the lack of thought behind it. [ all of this can be true, but he has complicated feelings on what he's heard about libby's reasons.] I think I'm a little lost though. What girls are we talking about? Whose hands do you think were forced?
[ wenzhou nods, and doesn't disagree with him. these things really aren't mutually exclusive - all of it can be true.
there are some reasons that are better than others.
and those that were picked on thursday night are still the original victims. ]
The only girls we've lost so far. Guifei and Libby. [ for the latter question, though - ] Lao Fukuzawa wants to find out if these have been coerced erasures, as part of the game. He believes most people here, even with the "colorful personalities" that we're all made up of, aren't likely to commit to murder unless pushed to it. If that's true, then it makes the situation all the more worse.
Interesting thought. [ not entirely one he disagrees with, but his emotions seem to have leveled out to something a little thoughtful. ] What do you think? Possible?
