My conversation with Kaoruko led me to think there was at least some say in it; she said whether we'd have more killings would depend on the people here. But it also didn't leave me thinking she was some cold blooded murderer. There's more to it.
And people will die while we figure it out. Sometimes, it will be innocent people. But what happened tonight was a little disgusting to me.
In general, I couldn't say, but - I came after her rather harshly in that trial. I didn't expect her to want to say much, but once I let her know I wasn't there to treat her as some vile murderer, she wound up trying to give advice and words of caution. So I wouldn't think so.

I am the last person who can judge anyone. I don't judge the killers here, either. But I think we need to find them anyway, or else we are sitting ducks.
To try to. . . play along more with the school, to get along with the Dorm Heads and the Principal. And to be careful, that odd things were happening here.

We're forced to attend these trials, but how we act is our own hands.
We were not forced to attend that execution.
