[Once they get back to Akechi's room, his flirtatious mood completely disappears.]

This is bad. If no one is speaking up, that means they're not even pretending like it matters who killed whom anymore. There may a conspiracy in place even as we speak.

But I think we can salvage this. I have a plan.

I'm not certain that's wise, if they've already organized. We're not safe until we hold the majority.

I think Kaiba would be willing to discreetly switch to Ulaz...

[truthstranger]

...And Ulaz would certainly vote for Kaiba, if he hasn't already. And... McGonagall seems eager to vote for Kaiba now that she's certain her trust in him was betrayed.

But... I'm not sure I feel good about that...

[honey your conscience is impeding on my scheming]

...Well, what sort of outcome would you feel good about?

[truthstranger]

...There's probably nothing. But...

It's not going to feel right no matter what we do. But at least we can make sure they can't even gang up on someone innocent, and after this it'll all be over.

[he takes it]

...Yeah... I guess you're right.

[afailedmurder]

Only a little big longer. We're going to make it through this.
