[...

she quietly sits down next to them, trying to look at their phone but not saying anything.]

[becomemod]

[ They tilt their phone so Saya can read it. It's the trial results. ]

Hello, Saya. I take it trial was... hectic.

[squelching]

That's... one way to put it.

[becomemod]

How are you feeling right now?

[squelching]

... Not good.

Did the other team leads tell you everything?

[becomemod]

They've told me some of it.

Considering all the clues together... have you already spoken with Reigen?

[squelching]

[a little nod, pulling one of her knees up to her chest.]

But he's... bad. At being honest. And he's not happy we voted for Hans.

[becomemod]

[ There's a slight nod, as they put away their phone to focus on Saya. ]

He didn't want to trust beforehand, it seems.

[ It's different, to be part of a team. Putting trust in others is a skill. ]

Did he want to be voted for?

[squelching]

... I told him I'd take care of our team if anything like this happened. But he didn't listen.

[it's a skill she is going to beat into reigen if she has to. she is so mad he didn't let them cover for him, or try to redirect everyone's focus to the other case.]

He feels guilty... I think. About what happened to Yae Miko. And guilt makes him stupid.

[becomemod]

[ The way they say this is more thoughtful l, not at all judgemental. ]

It's human to feel guilty over taking another's life. More so considering these circumstances, when someone else gets executed.

[squelching]

[she huffs a little. unfortunately, she feels zero remorse about busing hans.]

But he shouldn't... She attacked him first. We could've focused on Satan's case if he just told our team.

[becomemod]

[ And we support her(?) ]

Feelings can be complicated, even if they're trying to be objective about it.

Since so much time was spent in Yae's case, there are very few answers for Satan's.

[squelching]

... Yeah. Well, I guess it's possible we wouldn't have liked the answer for Satan's case either. But it's too late to worry about that now.

[maybe scapegoating was always the only valid answer (no)]

[becomemod]

[ Wouldn't that be something. ]

We'll have to live with the decisions that were made today. It's the only thing we can do at this point.

[squelching]

... I guess.

Does it bother you, Snake?

[becomemod]

I don't like not finding answers. [ A short pause. ] I also understand that time only goes forward in a place like this.

[squelching]

[she slowly nods.]

The evidence is all gone now, so... [she has a Hunch, but whoever stomped on satan lives to stomp another day.] Is that something you used to do before? Find answers?

[becomemod]

I was a detective before I arrived here. It was part of the job.

[squelching]

Ohh...? I see.

[a curious tilt of her head.]

What kind of jobs did you take on?

[becomemod]

All kinds. From finding people's lost items to breaking into security to get answers.

[squelching]

Oh...? Sounds like an interesting job.

[becomemod]

I liked it. I only took the jobs I thought were interesting.

[squelching]

It must've paid well if you could afford to be picky.

[becomemod]

I don't tend to buy that much either.

[squelching]

People usually worry about things like food and rent, though...
