At least one person may get away with what they've done. At least for a while if they find both. I don't think they will be able to split votes evenly enough.
We were only barely able to find Yuyu and Libby. Many said they doubted they would have found you, as well.
[He still doesn't regret doing what felt like the right thing to him at the time but even he had been like "holy shit D really would have gotten away with this so fuckin easily if his team had backed him". Wild.]
They may not even find either, depending. If they become too overwhelmed with theorizing and searching for evidence or piecing things together, they could easily lose track of potential leads. I would not be surprised if our first incorrect vote occurred tomorrow.
[Which he doesn't sound crushed by. Just his usual continued and morose exhaustion with the world in its entire cruelty.]
[Yeah. Yeah........... His turn to be BITTER. Some help y'all were as his TEAM! He really got on the team unconcerned with WINNING outside of Rang. God damn. Thinks about how any team he got on and did this and told, they'd all do the same thing probably.]
I don't doubt they will have the opportunity to find no answers. But I believe someone will come forward to volunteer if they are desperate enough. The vote will be incorrect, but... perhaps not a surprise.
[THEY REALLY JUST THREW D TO THE WOLVES. Listen don't slam his child murder trigger button next time and maybe he'll protect.
The idea of someone volunteering sets him ill at ease, a bit. Partially just by the principle of it and what it means, and partially because he'd seen people in the last few minutes of trial three times by now, wildly pointing fingers.]
...That may be so. At least in that way, we will know who we'll be welcoming before the day is up, for what little good it may do.
[STOP. Only the child made him angry unfortunately.
D's lips thin into a frown. He looks away thoughtfully.]
The choice lies with them now. I told them it would get harder and harder the longer this game went on, and they would eventually have to make decisions equally as terrible which they wouldn't want. Let us hope the culprits are someone like you and I and not someone like Haru or Ylfa.
But yeah mood. Matsui had asked people at the start whether or not they were prepared to move forward, and even though everyone had said yes, he hadn't believed a single one of them.]
The winning team will have to bear every lost life here... The journey to get there-- I would hope that it would be as painless as possible, but even the most merciful options here are painful ones.
[It riles him and makes his heart hurt, because as ever, the last thing Matsui wants is for people to suffer needlessly.]
It would have been kinder to merely send us all to oblivion.
[Everyone: YES!!! Everyone now: wait, hold on a minu--]
I think pain is the point.
[If his line of "work" was anything to go by. It was quite similar to how this game is functioning right now regardless of whether or not it's apparently functioning correctly.
D could have been a Composer...]
Yes, it probably would. But... I don't think that is the intention of who- or whatever is altering this game. Supposedly.
Also D... Please... D!!!!! Matsui would be enemies with every Composer. i think tsuru is out there somewhere. His expression is difficult to read, as is his tone, but there's something about it that seems a little more distant than usual.]
Supposedly. The Game itself seems to exist as a painful trial even without the alterations that may be happening, though...
[Why is every higher power so cruel. (bumper sticker voice) how can a loving god cause such agony]

Maybe so. Or maybe they just happened to be strong fighters and there were other reasons for picking them.
[There is a little it of bitterness in those words but he tries not to foster it.]
...I suppose we'll know soon enough, even if the rest of them don't. Unless those who targeted them kept their secrets close.

Have you spoken to Nightingale?
[Not that Matsui has to, but he didn’t want to bother Matsui by repeating the same information more than once.]
no subject
He nods!]
Yes. I didn't have all that much to speak with them about, though...
