Just like last week, the pile of votes appear in front of the Sergeant, who counts them with practiced ease. He stands up as soon as he's done, pausing for only a moment, before making his announcement.
I mean what I say— but it’s true, my intentions aren’t half as pure as all that. I’ve been on paths that both hurt and have helped people... and it makes no difference to me. My motivations are entirely selfish.
[He is anything but “good” it’s true.]
But I’d still like to help the rest of you if I can.
[Dazai's getting a raised eyebrow. Ultimately the impression Keith's getting here is that the dude is slippery as fuck with words, and that's not a trait he's particularly fond of in people.]
If the most you can do to help is to execute two people who've worn out everyone's patience then I don't think we need your help.
I like to think I’ve done a little more than that— but if you want to do it yourself I can respect that.
[That is— incredibly true of him. He’s very careful about what he lets out. And he certainly can’t blame anyone for disliking his ways. Something says he’s not a fan of it himself.]
[What he wants is for Jughead to have not died at all. Wanting his killers dead is a shitty substitute.]
I just don't appreciate your stated reasoning for volunteering. If you're looking for an excuse to tarnish your own reputation don't call your self destruction heroism.
