[While Annie doesn't acknowledge Kanaya when she first steps in, her hand does stiffen on the pan handle. She's enjoyed Siren's sharp honesty. She was one of the few to approach her after the trial.

And she was a murderer. Perhaps sinner do attract sinners after all.]

Then no innocents died this time. [she moves the pan with the bubbling eggs away from the fire briefly.]

Except for Dave. [Kanaya feels obligated to just put that out there. She feels a little unironically aggravated that they lost such a beautiful artistic soul.]

But that aspect of the equation is the same every time.

It was his bad fate. [she adds sausages after a moment of contemplation.] It's our bad fate how we've all ended up here.

[speakveryclearly]

True. None of us really have that much of a chance. Just less poor timing.

[She stares at the meat. Cooked and processed, it holds little appeal to her brand of predation]

[hollowheart]

[She can understand fatalism here, if nothing else.]

One day someone will be able to defend themselves when they're attacked. Maybe the tides will just change then.

[speakveryclearly]

Self-defense is listed as a crime in the rules, though.

[hollowheart]

I wonder why no one's tried that yet, all the same.

[speakveryclearly]

It is kind of strange, and not entirely explained by the choice of targets, especially since no premeditated killer has ever even nullified the powers of their victim yet.

Then again, that would be much harder to cover up effectively and by extension make for a much less interesting trial, which the producers seem to prioritize with these lavish two-day affairs.

The world is a strange place, when you can have people lapping up this sort of thing for mere entertainment.
