Why?

[PLAYER INPUT: 'evens'

RESULT: '98']

I am the only person left in my world. There's no point to living there anymore.

[killtheanimals]

[--Oh.

He does at least go quiet. For a brief, brief moment.]

...That doesn't explain why you decided to spend so much time here.

[backspacing]

I have my reasons.

...I want to limit your suffering as much as possible.

[General 'your' there.]

[killtheanimals]

[BITTER.]

[She wants to say 'that's not what I mean', but. Well. It's exactly what she means.]

Most of you are probably going to die here. I have some guesses at who will make it- [She's been running this long enough to notice patterns in those who make it to the end.] -but there's no guarantee of who will live and who won't.

I would rather those that die have a few good final memories. It's about all I can do here.

[killtheanimals]

How selfless of you.

[Mmm sarcasm.]

Do you feel obligated to all the kids who have already died?

[backspacing]

Each and every one of them.

Hiro. Mabel. Roxy. Ryoji. Heat. Yusuke. Haruka. Marona. Steven. Need I go on? I haven't forgotten a single one of them, and I never will.

I'm well aware of the blood on my hands, Mitsuru. I don't need you to remind me of that.

[When he looks at her again, though it's through narrowed eyes. Sullen.]

...Are some of them from the others' worlds, too? Or parallels of them.

[Everyone did seem incredibly concerned about that little possibility.]
