If I had to guess... it's because that system was set up for Viridian, whose motives are still unknown, and the Realm doesn't think to adjust it now that the reasons may have changed. We have trials because it recognizes that as "something done when people are killed", but it doesn't take into account nuance.
[ ... ]
However things have turned out, for me, I accept this as the consequences of agreeing to this duty. [ and the participants apparently didn't, so. ] But it's my wish that everyone returns home safely.
[ hmmm... honestly, she's feeling bad for them even as easy it is to vilify them. ]
Virid really did a number on us, didn't he? [ THERE IS ALWAYS THAT ONE FOOL TO RUIN IT ALL. ] Is there a way for us to change the way the Realm deals with theses things? Or at least a way for us resolve the matter without killing anyone?
[ figured it has been asked before, but, you know. ]
... I don't know. If there is a way, we haven't achieved it yet.
[ they're quiet for a moment. ]
There is something... odd, though. And again, I would prefer if you didn't spread this too much. [ a pause. ] Have you heard about a report going around, found last week?
... That makes this a bit more difficult. [ why did no one share with izumo, smh. ] Supposedly, one of the groups from last week that had their... adventure found a report. It seemed as if it was written by a Leader, and spoke mostly about mundane things, like gathering nova and everyone getting along well. Almost offensively light-hearted, if you presume that it refers to our current situation.
[ considering all the. murder. ]
When someone showed it to me, I wasn't lying when I said that I'd never seen it before, because I hadn't. [ ... ] However, what I didn't say then was that it sounded like it was written by me.
And yet, as said, I have no recollection of it, and I don't see where it would fit in our present timeline.
[ CRIES IT'S BECAUSE SHE HAS NO FRIENDS....... fox please understand her (my) struggles.
but when they describe the note to her she can't but frown and cross her arms. now isn't that something interesting, given how fox is telling this to her in this fashion—it might not be a lie? but hmm. ]
Do you think, then, it was written by a you that you forgot? [ a beat. ] Or that something like this has happened before?
It doesn't seem like it. Strictly speaking, most of what I know is from hearsay, and I can't say for sure that this won't change, so take it all with a grain of salt, but...
[ they pause, as if thinking over how to word this. ]
It seems that about half of the murders were done independently, of the participants' own volition.
[ because that takes her right back to square one with things but hmm. ]
I was wondering is there some sort of...outside entity other than what's been known? [ cough the monster cough. ] So far it seems like the ones who have been "attacked" with anything are people from our team.

A report? [ ??? this is a first??? ] No, I haven't heard anything if it's different than what Elsa has managed to do.

That seems to be the implication. To be honest, I'm still baffled by it.
However, I can't deny that what with the amnesia, I don't actually have any idea how long I've been here.

Then, what should we do about it? You all are getting your memories back from the nova we're collection, but the time frame doesn't look good for us.
[ you know, with how two people are dying everything week and actually— ]
Shima couldn't answer this, but are multiple Leaders asking us to kill every week?

I may or may not mean Shima-kun, specifically. [ a pause. ] It has nothing to do with what I asked of him, for the record.

[ it's so on the nose for shima that she hates it, thanks. ]
So there's no explanation for what's happened to me?
no subject
I'm afraid not. I still don't know what occurred there.

Should I just expect more in the future?

But whatever the reason for this, I just hope it doesn't continue.
