...this wouldn't feel much better even if we had picked the right person. But-

It just doesn't sit right.

Because it's wrong. [he will just come out and say it.] We're going to execute somebody who didn't even do anything wrong, and it's because enough people chose her instead of figuring something else out. I get that people were scared of picking wrong and picking someone who didn't even volunteer, but that doesn't make it better. Not really.

I can't say that I don't understand it, because-- if we're all at a loss, and someone's made that offer, I know how it would seem like the reasonable choice to make. It would seem as though she was on the list, so perhaps she did do it, and even if she didn't... she volunteered herself.

[she shakes her head, afterward.]

No one here should have to give up their life just so we can live with a decision we've been forced into.

[goalsides]

That too. I know Manwol volunteered but the fact that we had to have a volunteer because we couldn't figure it out ourselves makes it even worse.

[a pause.] Do you think it's going to be different tomorrow because she wasn't guilty?

...I don't know, Taichi. I would hope so, but- from what we've seen of this place, I'm not getting my hopes too high.

[he does not specify entirely that he wonders if it'll be worse.]

Neither am I. [...] We'll have to see. And see what the others say after that.
