[ last week... man, what a mess. he takes a deep breath, then sighs. ]
Last week was... a lot of us made some judgment calls that weren't solely evidence based. We chose to save one person who had more evidence pointing at 'em and sacrifice someone else who we knew by that point probably hadn't done it.
[ doesn't feel great, but not the point. ]
...Which is to say, no matter how much evidence they think they've got against you, and how little they have against anyone else, I'm not gonna let 'em vote you out, OK?
But that also means that even though I wanna treat whoever's tryin' to get you in trouble to a knuckle sandwich, I don't wanna spend too much time focusing on that evidence to potentially arrive at a dead end and let Whisper's killer get away with it. So I'm gonna focus on getting justice for her first.
[ Hanako can't really say anything about that because if he likes someone, he won't vote for them either. It definitely doesn't feel great, though, the idea of it coming down to who is more amiable having more support, despite the evidence.
It's frustrating no matter how he thinks about it. ]
Mm. I'll do whatever I can too, to figure out who killed Whisper, and make them pay.
[ yeah, as someone whose life has been dedicated to fighting for fair trials for the past 20 years, this whole thing has left a pretty sour taste in his mouth too.

[ ... his shoulders droop a little, in the hug. ]
Also... thanks, Datz. For being on my side.

Sure thing, bud. We're a team no matter what.
