I guess... I just wasn't sure if you would respond.
[ she doesn't mean that disparagingly, just that sometimes it's too overwhelming for people to really check their messages. she's certainly been there. ]
I think... I'm okay. [ or at least as close as she can get. ] It.. was awful, really awful, but... I think... I don't know. I feel like I'm finally starting to understand what's happening.
At this point, it almost feels like none of us are innocent. Even if we don't actually kill someone with our own hands, we're still voting for people every week and sentencing them to death. You're right. It's a cycle.

...for you I would have. [so yeah. he would ignore messages if they weren't as close as they are.] Any time you need me, I would answer.

[ what comes through their emo share is straight up, sappy affection ]
That goes for you, too.

Are you okay?

[this does not answer the question, exactly.]

[ hm! bad! and something she's familiar with!!! ]

I don't really know, Maya. I'm a lot of things.
no subject
... Yeah. I don't know. It's just the same thing, over and over again. It's not justice. It's just... torture.
[ nudges him gently ]
And I'm listening.

...we should have been more careful with the questions we asked Otome-san. That's the main thing.

[ cycle of murder... ]
... You know something about all of this, don't you, Taichi? Something.... you probably can't say, like her?
[ otome said "ask taichi" so this isn't a big revelation or something. ]

I think.... guesses will have to do for now. I have some of my own, too.

I don't know the right questions to ask. I asked the Professor what I should focus on, and she just told me that I'm doing fine.

...that's what Byleth told me though, too. So maybe it really is as simple as that?

Taichi, you don't.... do you feel responsible?
no subject
...I'm the one who told Beau to ask. I'm not gonna run from taking responsibility.
no subject
I don't know if it's really your responsibility.. when this place is the reason all of that happened.

But, Taichi... to be honest, as horrible as all of that was.... I think that was something we needed to hear. To try to figure out what's happening.
