I mean, if it was five days and someone died every night... That's gotta be way less than how many people died during ours, right? So I'd definitely pick that one if we had a choice.
Dimitri confirmed it, anyways, and he seems... Less likely to make up weird stuff like that. I mean, unless he was drastically different when he was younger. So.
Though it's also kind of a bummer to know he went through a death game at that age. Him and Flayn both... There should be an age limit to these things.
[he pauses, deciding the best way to phrase this.]
It's not like I can judge anyone for being worried about whoever they took. I mean, I'm really worried about the person they have. But I just hope everyone doesn't let that make them forget that we're going to need to work together to make it out of here.
Me too. I don't know, I... If your guess is right and we do get threatened the way you're thinking, I'd probably be pretty frustrated at anyone who went for it. But it feels more important to remember exactly who's behind all of this. They're the real problem.

Five days. A much shorter timeframe, but much less breathing room. I'm not sure which I'd prefer.
no subject
[which they do not, but it's fine.]
no subject
But as you said, we don't have a choice... From some of the stories I've heard though, there were some strange games out there.

What about you?

[he nods slowly]
Yeeeah, I'm gonna have to go with that one too!

[ ??? ]
I didn't hear that part.

[...]
I'm pretty sure he wasn't messing with me when he said that.
no subject
He did pretend to faint within five minutes of us meeting, so I'd believe that it's all a lie too.
But it also wouldn't be the first evil noodle I heard mentioned.

Is it weird seeing him? For you.
no subject
[he pauses, then shrugs.]
It's not really that he seems happier, but he seems - less angry, I guess. It's nice. You know what I mean?

no subject
[says the eighteen year old. it's joking, at least a little.]
Seriously, though... It's really awful to know that different versions of him have gone through this separate times.
no subject
[ He rubs his face. ]
I'm worried what the presence of hostages is going to do to our sense of logic.

Kill one person to prevent another tragedy.
no subject
[which he hates! but hopefully they'll both be wrong. either way, after a second:]
What would you do, if that were the case?
no subject
[ A... bad joke! ]
But really... it's hard to say. I don't want to lose anyone. Could you answer?
no subject
[he doesn't sound too angry about it, though. after a moment:]
I don't know. I - want to think I would say no. I definitely don't want to hurt anyone again.
no subject
Yeah. We could say no, hope we end up in another one of these with a wish at the end to bring back the person we lost.
But that's not an easy choice to make.
no subject
Kind of seems too good to be true to get that offer twice in a row, right? But... I hope that's the case.

I wouldn't count on someone using hostages as leverage to be truthful.
