[she pauses.]

What do you mean?

[aitou]

Someone killed our comrade. That's not really something we can overlook.

[They are weapons, after all. Weapons have a pretty narrow view of justice.]

[allomantic]

[hmm. well, she doesn't look outwardly angry or anything, but.]

Even if it is like last week, and they were compelled into it in some way? In that case, wouldn't it be better to work with them to find the source of that compulsion and destroy what was actually responsible?

[aitou]

Yes.

[Simply. Though, that being said--]

Don't misunderstand--I want that too. I want us to go home. And if we manage to figure all of that out, and find the true enemy, then we'll focus on that. [He would, of course, prioritize getting everyone freed and home over a personal grievance.] But I don't think that will happen tomorrow.

[allomantic]

...No, neither do I.

[she sighs.]

It will take time. But I think it would be foolish to remove a potential ally in that fight if we do not have to.

[she doesn't sound too invested in that for a variety of reasons, but she does think it should at least be said. ]

[aitou]

It's not that I don't understand your thoughts, but--if they're anything like Kazuma, I don't think they're our allies anymore anyway.

[And beyond that, he isn't all that sure he cares. But he can, at least, acknowledge her points as valid.]

We might not have a choice anyway. We had to vote, last time.

[allomantic]

He seemed to snap out of whatever had a hold on him at the end... And even if we do have to vote, one of the Residents seems to think there might be hope.

[but, well. there's a reason there's no real heat behind her disagreement.]

I do not think it will matter, though. I do not think this place will allow we vote for to live, no matter what we choose.
