It's not your fault that Kano chose to fight back.
People might as well get mad at me for not making sure I got all the scalpels from him after he finished checking Sharon's body, if they're going to get mad at anything.
[He looks really relieved to hear her say that - that she's not angry with him. It's not that he minds others being angry, but not knowing or understanding is awful for someone as awkward at reading others' cues as he is.]
I didn't expect him to do that. But I don't hate him for doing it, either. I don't think it's his fault, either.

He never knows how to answer a question like that.]
Mm. I think so.
no subject
she sort of. awkwardly? probably awkwardly, pats his shoulder slightly before letting her hand drop. ]
Sorry, that's a bit of a cruel thing to ask after everything that's happened.
no subject
[Looking up at her, a little startled again.]
It's a kind thing to ask.

I know... I think I understand why you did what you did. With the gem.

[. . . He makes a little bit of a face. As blank and intense as he can be, he's still just an awkward teen.]
I know that I put Ruler-san in danger. I didn't want that to happen.

Am I right in guessing you wanted Kano to have a painless execution?

... We messed up on Saturday. It was only ever going to be a terrible situation. They were both innocent, after all.
[ we assume. lookin' at ara with suspicion in my eyes. ]
It's not bad to want to help someone like that.
no subject
I wanted to use my gem to help whoever was killed, but it being Kano-san. . . I just think others didn't understand him very well.
[Oh - he's going to well up? Just a little.]
I'm not sure I understood him very well, either, but I wanted to.
no subject
It's okay. I... don't think I knew him very well either. Not as much as I would've liked. [ ... ] I'm not sure he wanted anyone to, though.
But that doesn't mean I wanted him hurt. Or to see him die.
no subject
He didn't. That's why he was hiding. [He looks away like. Maybe there's something he shouldn't say here.]
no subject
Some people are like that. You can't really force them to talk about themselves, huh? It defeats the point.
no subject
[He sounds very serious all of a sudden. You should push him, though.]
It would be very wrong to force someone to do something like that.
no subject
Did he talk to you about himself?
