[He chews on his lip for a moment before continuing.]
It's...hard to explain...but it felt completely logical to go "she's going to die no matter what I do. But I can give her a peaceful death instead of forcing her to get mauled to death by a tiger."
[There's so much regret in him when he says that.]
I tried to tell her that, but I think I was screaming a bit too much to get the idea across. And then she used a gumball to summon that lizard and that made things worse.

[okay, he was definitely refracting. this isn't a "defended myself from someone who was refracting" thing. jiuqing nods slowly.]
That makes sense. [...] Not that - it makes sense for you to try to kill her. But... the way this place affected your thinking... that lines up with everything we know so far. Even on the "trips," it changed the way we thought and acted.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It can't have been easy for either one of you.

[Ish. Maybe. It's hard to tell how much is 'him' and how much is 'something else'.]
Don't apologize though. It's terrifying, but at least if I'm the one going through it then it means the others aren't, right?
[Except for the other killer whoops hope they don't refract like Malik did.]
no subject
None of us should have to be going through it at all.
[atsushi your self worth
i hope execution becomes goatmageddon. i hope jiuqing specifically gets killed by a refracted goat.]

[Part of him still feels responsible. Because of the week 0 nonsense.]

[if he's blaming himself for week 0 then he has to blame kumon too! and who could blame kumon for anything!
(smash cut to mira having him commit five murders next week.)]
