You need to know about people so you can predict what they'll do. But it also might make you more sympathetic towards them. And of course, you can't say a damn thing about yourself.
[It's just the same as the rest of Akira's life, really, except now he actually will be put into a position where he may have to... kill some of these people. "May have to", like Kaito Momota isn't dead because of him. God dammit.]
It sounds like you're already familiar with how it is. Phew, that saves me a lot of time to lecture you about how easily you can get killed by blindly trusting others.
Would you have lectured me in the first place, or just jerked me around?
...But yeah, you're right. I've never— been in something like this before, but you don't need it to know the ways people are eager to fuck you over for their own gain.
Nishishi, who knows. I'm a pretty big asshole so maybe I would have just given you really bad advice but frame it as good.
[ the energy to go back to his usual fake happy act is starting to come back. still nothing big but at least he can keep up something basic. ]
But yep, you better watch your back or else you might end up like all the seven who died. Even if it's not for their own personal gain, who knows what people will do when they're pushed.
Uh-oh, it sounds like I might fit those categories.
[ a lot of the remaining survivors are pretty small and don't seem like they can hold up their own in fighting, but do any of them "deserve" it? at least none of them have been acting like jerks and making some kind of positive cr with others. ]
[He assumes that everyone was pushed to extremes they shouldn't have been in, during whatever game Kokichi was talking about. That's what happened here. That's what happens all the time.]
[But he can't stop himself from asking, in the most neutral tone of voice:]
[ he looks over to the side as he talks. he still refuses to sit down, just standing there. he keeps his hands to his side. ]
She killed the wrong person. She thought she could end the game by going after the mastermind, but she killed an innocent person instead. Saihara-chan almost took the blame for her as well and would have gotten all of us killed.
[ he might have not wanted to talk about this before or at least exaggerate the entire thing so it would make it seem like he's lying, but he's tired again. what's the point of hiding it or lying about this right now? ]

They only died because others wanted to minimize the casualties, so they took out the teams with fewer people.
[And that's just how it is in a game like this.]

Makes you wonder who's going to be the next two.

[Are they just sitting on the floor of the gym contemplating the past and future murders of Revivarium? Yes. They are.]

I meant people who... don't like conflict. Won't put up a fight. [In Akira's mind, it seems, that is weakness.]
