[Also ignoring Susan's question which means that something definitely happened because Susan is a perceptive woman and also could Poland and Lithuania be more obvious right now.]
I don't have to do anything for justice. My self-serving desires have always been about me and the Stingers, I never pretended to be anything more than I already am.
No... It is not yours to blame alone. I had assumed that your age would protect you from attack, and that the chapel would be a safe place for us to picnic, but that was not so.
Promise me that...if we cannot prove that there had to have been another killer, you will vote for me. Mr. Gundam and Miss Kaoru and Miss Rapture have all worked so hard trying to defend me even though doing so only puts them in more danger. None of them deserve to die simply because I happen to be a child.
I can examine the body further in case anything was missed. Perhaps you can take a look at the blade wounds as well - to see how much force must have been applied to each one.
I hate doing it, you know? Going to wherever the murder scene of the week was and picking up the corpse and bringing it back here--I hate it. But it has to be done. Someone has to do it, and if I don't do it, maybe someone else who hates it will have to, right?
...I'd rather not put that burden on more people than absolutely necessary.
Gundam wanted to be executed in your stead. He made that decision in sound mind, as a rational, thinking adult. I would have honored that desire if that's where it had stood.
There is more we're missing, but where do we even look? We could rehash the alibis over and over, but it's in such an open space that nobody but those who were there can account for it. May could have misremembered something, someone would have to go out early enough to follow Beat, their luck is practically tenfold that she was knocked out so they could arrange the scene, but there are too many factor with loose ends...
[ She just sighs frustratedly. ] This isn't fun anymore.
