I-it's all right.

[he says first, hands held up slightly. no stabbing.]

I... I already knew, but only about the other three.

[allomantic]

..I suppose that makes sense, since I wasn't actually there when it happened.

[cucked from off schedule murder by cyoa... but anyways.]

How did you find out?

[cumulative]

I... after she was found, it seemed as if someone must have decided to kill her, then just... left her, and not taken any responsibility.

[they've talked about this subject before, so the way he felt about that assumption is, perhaps, not surprising.]

So I decided to find who had done something like that.

[allomantic]

What led you to the three of them?

[cumulative]

My power did.

Um, I can... spy on a conversation someone had, on a particular day. S-so it was relying on luck, but I hoped that whoever did it had talked to her at least a little, and it... ended up working. So I saw...

[well. the whole thing.]

[allomantic]

...I see.

[I can't imagine that was pleasant.]

[cumulative]

...it wasn't.

[he's not gonna lie about it.]

I- I was upset, at first.

[allomantic]

You have a right to be upset, still.

[cumulative]

I'm more upset that it was... still necessary. I'd hoped sh-she was... going to be all right.

...and I know why none of you could say anything, but I still wish there could have been-- some sort of sign. I really did think the worst when no one would admit to it.

[allomantic]

...You should thank the three of them for that. For speaking up, I mean.

[cumulative]

You didn't want to?

[allomantic]

No, I wasn't particularly interested in painting a target on our backs. But I know it would have hurt them all to keep it a secret, so I didn't push.

[cumulative]

Do you really think that it would have-? We haven't even been targeting each other at all, for reasons like that...

[allomantic]

I think it's a risk. The new monster, or monster, was summoned yesterday, so they got to see us all talking about how we found a method to eliminate them. And after what happened with Nona...

[...]

It doesn't matter. This isn't about me. Whatever happens will happen.

[cumulative]

...o-on the other hand, everyone knows, so now there's no reason to target any of you for saying it. It-- it won't do anything. There'd probably be more risk of one of you dying if someone who knew ended up possessed, and... decided to act before anyone else found out what had been done.

[allomantic]

...Maybe. But at any rate - I took action knowing the risk. I'm not going to complain.

[cumulative]

I- I hope nothing like that happens.

[...]

...and that others aren't too angry.

[he might not be happy about how it happened, but. still.]

[allomantic]

That's kind of you, but I can handle it if they are.

[cumulative]

I know that you can, but...

['we have enough problems already...']

[allomantic]

...Well. My apologies for adding to them, then.

[cumulative]

Um, I- I didn't mean...

[animal crossing worry emoji...]

[allomantic]

It's fine. You're not wrong, anyways.

[cumulative]

Mm.

I-it's... it's as you said. It's all already happened, and so now-- whatever happens from here, will.

[allomantic]

[giving a little nod.]

Is there anything else you wanted to say?

[cumulative]

... it's still-- this was still important. We've needed something to go right-- s-so badly, at this point.

Even if we couldn't save her before she had to die, she... she's here.
