It's against the rules, but I think it's too late for me to care about breaking them. And I think you have the right to know... Why I tried to frame you.
Some of us were given special rules to abide by while we're here. I'm not sure if you already know - I'm not sure who has told who, and what they may have said.
My rules allow me to make one person safe. They make it so that once a week, I can choose someone who can't be killed by the exorcism.
Junpei said he was worried about you, so I thought it was a good choice. And then I thought it was a way to make sure no one else would have to die this week.
If I tell the person that I've protected that I'm protecting them, it doesn't work.
... If you had been voted for, I wouldn't have even been able to comfort or assure you until after you survived the exorcism.
[ And even though that scenario didn't even come up, Escha still sounds like she feels guilty about it. If it had happened, that would have put Tamamo through even more hardship. Sure, as the price of survival, but even so... ]
Hmph! That's only assuming he hasn't done it himself yet.
[SOUNDING DEEPLY IRRITATED... but it is admittedly tinged with exasperated fondness]
That boy. He'll be eating himself alive for what's happened. I wasn't convicted and you had to forfeit your life instead, despite fighting back in self-defense.
[Glancing at her, head tilted again]
Is that truly what happened? Aizawa-san attempted to kill you, and you fought back?

Have you ever had feelings for someone, Escha-san?

I suppose I should behave and not tease you like this.
Regardless of your reasons, you will see that boy again. Take heart in that.

1/2 HEY COLA TURN ON YOUR LOCATION I WANNA TALK
Date: 2019-10-27 03:09 am (UTC)2/3
Date: 2019-10-27 03:13 am (UTC)You said it was against the rules to speak, so I will try not be cross with you for not consulting me. That was a dangerous gamble you made.
[And it... didn't quite pay off, did it]
I--
