No, I wouldn't go that far. More like... maybe intent is what mattered, but in the sense that Evan believed he killed him, so it counted. Although it's a stretch, and implies there's any sort of logic behind this mess.
I can ask the directors, but even if you're right - if the answer is just, there's no trial as long as you don't believe you did anything wrong, we're kind of fucked either way. I mean, not that I'd really want to be stuck here with a bunch of people who think murder is fine and dandy, but...
No, I think something else will be triggered now that it's happened. I meant the trigger itself. Because-- well, Taako said it best. [ and loudly, mid execution ] What happened between Evan and Tsurumaru wasn't a murder, even though they insisted it was. So why say it? They knew what happened and who did it.
I don't know. Why get mad at us and imply this was our fault every time someone asked them what happened, even though they knew full well not one person in the room wanted this to happen or even tried to make this happen? Maybe the answer is that they're just assholes.
I don't think that part was up for debate. [ dry. he thinks the npcs are assholes, absolutely, buuut ] I've been thinking about it since yesterday. My best guess? It lines up with people lashing out at others when they're afraid. Because they knew what would happen, they admitted as much when they said that's why they kept "telling us not to murder".
No, I get it. Not everyone calms down by overanalyzing every aspect of a situation.
[ it's a joke that falls a little flat because they are all unhappy and angry, but he blinks at the spaghetti. there's a clear hesitation before he shrugs ]
Sure? Don't put yourself out on my account, though.
[ he is actually calculating the last time he ate, because sometimes. you work too much. ]
Any particular reason behind why you don't like it, or is it just a generic personality trait? I know enough people who are painfully stubborn to believe the latter no questions asked, promise.

Do you, uh...

I don't know. I think it's kind of normal to not do things that you don't want to...?
