Week 3, Post Trial - Chiaki

[crimsonsparrow]

[After the trial's all been wrapped up and there's nothing else left to do or discuss, Suzaku is glad to take a heavy seat on one of the beds in 103. He immediately dives for the book that he's been reading, but not before letting out a heavy breath.]

My, what a peculiar day it's turned out to be, wouldn't you say?

[He's not so sure exactly how up for conversation his roommate, but, well, he should be learning more about the people around him, so might as well try.]

Yeah... it's - I guess people should be happy we got our "revenge"...?

[ She's laying down on the couch, lazily looking up at ceiling. It was sobering to see, knowing justice was swift but. ]

It doesn't feel right.

[crimsonsparrow]

How so?

[It's a surprising thing to hear--nearly everyone just seemed so happy to have caught Mira.]

Is it because she seemed so...satisfied with herself regardless of the outcome?

[gamerscore]

I guess. It feels like she knows something we're not knowledgable in. Maybe more rules of the game? Maybe how this will end? It's spoilers territory, but... besides that.

[ She sits up a bit onto her elbows. ]

It doesn't feel justified. Like her death didn't make... me feel better.

[crimsonsparrow]

Could've been knowledge worth postponing her sentence for.

[But then, of course, she would've kept killing, so to most people that wouldn't have been an option.]

That puts you one step above many of our fellow competitors. Many of them were feeling quite vengeful. I find it interesting...how some humans will excuse inhumane treatment of those they consider inhuman. Would one call it hypocrisy, or simply...punishment befitting of the crime?

[gamerscore]

Uh. [ She stammers - ] I don't know if it's hypocrisy.. I just feel that we're taking our frustrations out on the wrong source. We're still stuck playing... until game over.
