They weren't bad in murder school. We were close, there. He was the only person who reached out to me, when C revealed me as an assassin and I tried to stay away from everyone. He... told me I was just scared. We hung out for "training" at night. I... he was really important to me, then.
But even so. I'm pretty sure I killed him, somehow. I didn't mean to, but...
[...]
Anyway, we're both different people here. Especially me. And he made it pretty clear that he couldn't be friends with me.
[ he looks a bit surprised to hear that. murder school looked all sorts of complicated, so he's not going to blame her for what may or may not have happened. he doesn't have the details either. not to mention she already thinks it might have been an accident. ] But?
I think a lot of us are different people here. I know I am. [ he's not sure how he feels about that, tbh. ] It's this place... and the fact that we start out as blank slates. B- But, ah, I remember my first couple of days here, and we didn't get off on the right foot, but... [ he offers her a smile, reaching for her hand. ] I'm glad we're friends, and I hope we continue to be friends. You mean a lot to me, Maki.
[She takes his hand, and then just looks down at it for a moment.]
I wouldn't say we got off on the wrong foot. It's not like I ever disliked you. I just... don't know how to be friendly. Or how to deal with it when people are nice.
[And then she's quiet for another few seconds before she answers his other question.]
I remember being certain I killed him. Accidentally, while trying to kill C. And it was a killing game, right? The rules were that either everyone voted me the culprit and I was executed, or they got it wrong, and everyone but me was executed.
