Yeah, I've been trying to figure out what that "something" is, but nobody seems to know. And if you try to say it's a murder school during Spirit Week they're probably gonna look at you like you're weird.
[which is like. yeah.] I guess the other thing that's important is figuring out how likely it is it's going to happen again.
[...terribly, probably, there's a slight laugh. it's devoid of humor but it sure is there.]
If this goes the way it might, someone probably will. [so yeah. he doesn't think never again is possible.] Our dorm thinks it's likely just the start of something bigger. Not that Hanayagi gave us many clues.
[ It's fine. She gets terrible, humorless laughs. ]
Bigger... I can't imagine what right now. [ But she isn't skeptical or disbelieving. It makes sense. It'd be better if it didn't make sense, probably. ] This is really going to give me a bad idea of what a school's really like.
[ This is such a serious conversation to have over food, but that's never stopped her from eating before, so she eats around talking to him. ]
Like Cats didn't already do that? [wry. this is a bad conversation over food, but it's not like that's stopping him either. they are completing the task and also talking shop at the same time and that's good enough for him.]
...did you ever get a chance to talk to either of them? Tomoe or Hanayagi.
Yeah. Terrible. Definitely not something I'd recommend to anybody I actually like. [great punishment though.]
...even if she didn't say much, can I ask what she said at all? She said a lot of different things to everybody, so I'm kind of wondering if there's something there that'll make sense.
... When I asked her why, she said because she wanted to. Just because. Which I don't buy.
[ Even if that's what Kaoruko wanted to do, Kainé thinks there has to be something more than just because. She didn't know the other girl at all, but she's seen enough cruelty to know what just because looks like. ]
That's the answer she gave somebody else, too. But I don't think it makes sense either. We've only been here a week. Even if she was annoyed with him, that seems a little drastic as motivation.
Not that I know of. [chewing his food thoughtfully...] It'd have to be something really big she couldn't get on her own if that was the case, right? Something promised to her.
Even if none of those reasons were hers, they're good ones to keep in mind if this happens again. Maybe having a motive in mind will help us figure things out next time.

Viola said there was something that happened when the school was founded or whatever, and that's why there are rules for it.
[ It doesn't bode well whether that's the truth or not. ]
Might as well just call it a school with fucking murder and be done with it. It'd put everyone on the same page.
[ Whether or not any more murder happens. ]

[ It's not wildly acceptable, but it's true. Guess who still doesn't get the point or concept of Spirit Week.
Anyway, she does get what he means. She's just a little spiteful sometimes. ]
Never again's too much of a dream, huh?

[ She did not have the great honor of watching the movie. She skipped that class. ]
I talked to Hanayagi after the trial, but that's about it. She didn't say too much to me.
[ She didn't expect much, considering her personality. ]

It's make more sense if there was something more there, but I don't know if she told anyone anything like that.

She takes a bite out of her food. ]

Be careful out there either way.

[ It's strange, how people treat her here, but she doesn't want to see any of them get more hurt.
... Most of them, considering how much she beats up Nier. ]
