[ The frustration is mirrored on Hanako's end, along with the sense that if he knew about it beforehand, he very well would've switched his target over to Will. Sorry, but he likes Ponta better. ]
I thought none of you would want to, so at least this way a Fox could get a kill. [ Danny. For petty reasons, but it had to be him on Thursday night, being voted out at trial wouldn't have counted for anything ]
The dead go somewhere safe, we've all seen that! Vane would've been fine. [ Danny? eh. ] I needed to guarantee everybody's worlds would stay untouched, I couldn't take the risk of one of you not following through.
[ 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. ]
[ unfortunately, he hangs out with Temenos "trust nobody" Mistral ]
...so nice and kind and good. That includes you too, Ponta.
[ He couldn't see any of them killing anybody. At least this way, it wouldn't have been their fault, they wouldn't have any of the guilt of having to kill, that all would've been on Hanako. ]
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. ]
[ "it can't be that hard" except it is, for Hanako, who has to remind himself that maybe Vane won't consider him going out there and cutting down all his enemies to be something nice. Does Vane have enemies? maybe just Hanako? but Ponta says he can't ghost himself so hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... . . . ]

You like Vane, you said. Make it up to him.
no subject
[ how do you make it up to someone you killed????? he's avoiding all his victims like the plague, sans Danny who immediately went for him ]
no subject
[ :( ]
That wouldn't make him feel any better and also we wouldn't even be able to get you back from it.
no subject
Maybe when I die I'll just go back to being a ghost?
no subject
[ No getting damned to eternal newspaper duty for Hanako!! ]
Just do something nice for him. It can't be that hard.
no subject
I got it!
[ What Vane wishes for most of all is- ]
I'm going to get him a girlfriend!

[ .......... ]
But is it going to involve brainwashing?
no subject
No, of course not.
