It is. They make the rules, but I am their attack dog. When one of you murders someone, I have to bring retribution. When one of you fails at a game, I have to carry out the punishment.
I am the villain here, and the sooner you accept that fact the better.
...You know, I realize I've come here to talk to you several times already, but I don't actually know much about you. You keep saying, "I'm a murderer, I'm a murderer," but that can't be all there is, right?
What kinds of things do you like for breakfast, for example?

[Sorry Saki. That's a raw wound for him, and he's going to turn and walk over to his desk to go sit down.]
no subject
I wonder... are you really the bad person you keep claiming you are?
no subject
[He's watching her carefully now, though, waiting to see how she answers.]
no subject
There aren't any cameras in here.
[Prefacing with that bit of knowledge. And then:]
You said you're a bad person, but when I first came to talk to you, you hoped I wouldn't choose to kill. And at that meeting just now, you helped us.
no subject
[Saki why do you have to be so observant?]
You're a good person, Saki-san.
When the time comes, I have to execute people. And I don't want to hurt you.
no subject
So it's true...
[Still, this brings up a whole new slew of questions, and she doesn't even know which to start with.]
Then... is it just because of your orders-?
no subject
I am the villain here, and the sooner you accept that fact the better.
no subject
[There's steel in her voice again.]
You told us already: no one has to die.
If no one murders, you won't have to execute anyone.
[He won't have to act on their behalf if they can just prevent them...]
no subject
Hopefully everyone can keep to that plan.
no subject
...Of course, you probably realized that already.
What do you think our chances are of actually achieving that?
no subject
no subject
You still care for him a lot, don't you?
[Oda, she means. But she'll move on coolly enough.]
There are others who don't want to kill, either. How are motives determined? Or is that against the rules for you to say?
no subject
There are people watching this game that are sending me instructions. They have guidelines I have to follow.
no subject
...Why does the Foundation want us to kill each other?
no subject
no subject
She already knows.]
...They want to eliminate us?

no subject
[And she's growing more certain that the deaths of the people here isn't one of them.]
Who are you trying to fool here, Dazai?
no subject
Saki is smart, she's probably figuring out the answer on her own anyway.]

What kinds of things do you like for breakfast, for example?
[What a random and insignificant question!]
no subject
[Yep, he made that joke in the middle of their serious conversation. It's a poor attempt to break the tension in the air.
no subject
[Not that it would even bother her that much, because Kamisu 66 is a rural community. Saki knows exactly where her food comes from.]
But if you would like a meat dish, I can probably handle that.
no subject
[Oh look, a real suggestion!]
