A pile of votes appear in front of the Sergeant, votes he quickly counts. When he's done, he stands up and looks at them. For a moment the silence is thick, he looks at the clock again.
You can blame Lovepon for the location. I was just getting sorbet, and she tried to 'execute' me with that saw. After I shot her, I thought I might as well use it. I figured it would mess with everyone's emotions so they couldn't think... and hey, only six of you actually voted for me, so I'd say it worked.
[Six is hardly a majority, she sure feels cheated that she's not getting off the hook for this! But whatever.]
That, and I didn't really want the gun traced back to me, so I might as well try and lose the torso in the lake. I didn't think anyone would care that much. I would have tried a bit harder if I knew there would be all this fanfare.
No, I've never tried killing anyone for money, though it's an interesting idea. I don't think I'd get what I was looking for out of it though.
[She muses. Should she tell him? Well, a couple people already know, so one more can't hurt.]
The truth is, I do it for my personal benefit. It's so I can touch people's hearts... though Lovepon was a little different, since I didn't have much of an interest in hers. ...I know that won't make a lot of sense on its own, but it's a long story.
[ It was self defense, after all. Even if what she did to the body afterward was horrible... Alfin just wasn't the type to hate people. She truly believed in second chances. And here... there were no second chances. ]
I didn't vote at all. I didn't know for sure it was Will. I only acted like I was certain because I thought if I did, and he was the culprit, he would crack...
[She's kind of surprised she answered that earnestly.]
Well, I guess not voting in this situation is fittingly Princess-like.
I thought I was going to get away with it... None of you came close to noticing what I was really worried about. Those six people must have been tapped into something I wasn't aware of.

[She's acting the same as ever. Or maybe she's still scheming about how to get out of it, if she can figure out what was coming.]
You guys got lucky.
no subject
Why'd you go and hack her up like that, you sicko?!
And why'd you ruin the ice cream?!

[Sigh.]
...I don't want to see what's about to happen to you. But after what you did, there needs to be some justice.
no subject
Bubblegum is a terrible flavor anyway. I thought even you wouldn't get to the bottom of it by the time we were meant to leave.
Well, I suppose I had to get caught eventually. I guess it's fine... I already found what I wanted before I died.
no subject
What was it that you wanted?
[She's being serious again, studying Mira carefully.]
no subject
Come to think of it, that was part of her name, wasn't it? It's sort of funny.
no subject
...You know, I'd agree with you if you hadn't hung her head from a freakin' tree. That's just gross.

[ He wouldn't be surprised if she was. ]
Couldn't find a thing. But you seem cool-headed about this, so I'm guessing this is not your first rodeo. Killing-wise.

You did a pretty good clean up job.

[ Alfin's voice is quiet. They almost didn't get her. ]
no subject
[That doesn't make her feel better, but she hopes it helps Alfin a little.]
no subject
Is it really justice, if it happens here?
no subject
But it's the best we're gonna get, isn't it?
no subject
I should be able to do better...!
no subject
Hmm. If you don't want that 'justice', then would you rather forgive me?
[This question is pure indulgence in curiosity.]
no subject
...I already do forgive you.

I owe him an apology...
