[ That is... a good point. Hanako's body count list is maybe a little too long for a normal person's comfort, but fortunately Ponta is not exactly normal in that regard. ]

Vane. And Will. Why them?

[ Sorry to Danny who also died like... just this week, but that's Hanako's deal. He can kill Danny if he wants. ]

Sure, Will killing me was my idea. But he shouldn't have had to be executed for it. Especially not because of one person's skewed votes.

[ Will survived the execution but that's not the point. Him being guilty is also not the point, it doesn't count if there's consent!! ... probably.

The Vane thing though... The rage eases up a little, only because confusion settles in instead. ]


And how on earth does liking someone translate to killing them?

[ Ponta isn't saying anything to that first part... but since it's emotionshare, Hanako will get a strong sense that the answer is yes........ yes, he should have scapegoated someone innocent for Will, wow!! ]

Agreed?

[ Vane did not... actually tell him that?? The confusion on his part is increasing and that's just making him more frustrated. ]

We already had a kill, I was already dead by then! How's that... what was the point? If you wanted Danny dead, you could have done your voting trick on him.

[ This is... so frustrating. It is so so frustrating that it's hard to even stay angry because this situation just... Ugh. Ponta runs a hand through his (thankfully present) hair and groans. ]

That's just... I would have never let it come to that.

[ Hanako had no reason to trust him there, they never even talked about... but god... Hanako! Trust him!! ]

I wanted it to be me so none of them would have to get hurt! That includes being hurt by killing somebody, they're all so...

[ They're all better people than Ponta can bring himself to be, in circumstances like these. ]

[ ... yeah. Team Fox is a warm place. ]

That's not really true. I would have killed someone for them, if I didn't think that it'd cause them distress, y'know?

[ ... ]

Not that I want anybody to die. But even though I've got no clue why you killed all those others, I don't really care at this point. I'm not even mad about that part.

[ There's a long moment of silence here. The rage is simmering down until there's just a pit of discontent left. ]

... if things went just a little differently, our positions might be reversed right now.

[ Mouse was out of the running with regards to needing murders really soon, and then got it done yet again, but... If not... Ponta gets why Hanako did what he did, is the point. He would have been capable of the same thing. ]

You like Vane, you said. Make it up to him.

... no.

[ :( ]

That wouldn't make him feel any better and also we wouldn't even be able to get you back from it.

Yeah, no. We're not counting on that.

[ No getting damned to eternal newspaper duty for Hanako!! ]

Just do something nice for him. It can't be that hard.

That's the spirit.

[ .......... ]

But is it going to involve brainwashing?
