[The last culprit was a mutual friend of theirs, and as always, it's time for the 'afterparty'. Naoya's making the food, as usual, when Yurika stops by.]

Hey, can you help me with some of this?

[Since Yurika was standing next to him in the trial room, she probably noticed that Naoya didn't vote for the correct culprit.]

[Yurika took a while to come out of her room. She hesitates, but nods and walks over.]

How is everyone else?

Not great. You know Yonaka, lots of people liked her.

[I will use a random person from my muselist for dead people in murdergames if I want to.]

That's true. [sigh] I can't believe she wouldn't even consider mercy, but it was self-defence... Why is it so much harder when it's people you're up against instead of some faceless thing you've never seen?

Because they're our friends.

[He doesn't really have to linger on the question. It's simple enough: he was friends with her, so even if she killed someone, he didn't want to kill her.]

I know that... We need to get as many people out of here as possible, but how can we do that if we're still losing lives to do it? This is just like the war back home. We went in believing there was one right answer, but there's nothing that makes everything alright.

["There is only one righteous path."]

I couldn't tell you anything about killing people or saving people. I wasn't in the army for more than eight days and I wouldn't have been cut out for it.

[Shrug. He turns off the stove he'd been cooking on.]

You've just gotta do as best as you can.

I always thought that just being brave enough to move would make things better, but sometimes doing your best isn't enough. If we knew why we were here, who thought of sending us somewhere like this, then maybe things would stop, but maybe it wouldn't if the person behind all this still continued on.

[...Naoya sighs, takes a few steps closer, and gently pats Yurika on the head.]

We'll figure something out. Don't worry so much about it.

[Yurika frowns, but doesn't protest.]

I'm a captain. I need to worry for everyone. Right now we all need to get through this. An incentive is always four days after a murder, right? At least we know we have a little time.

Yeah, I guess 'don't worry' isn't the right way to put it. How about 'don't feel bad on yourself even if you don't pull off a flawless victory'? In war, it's almost impossible to win a battle without any deaths, right?

[He's not a leader in that sense, so his comparisons are likely to be off.]

...That's true. I wish it weren't like that, but sometimes, even trying your best is knowing you're condemning people to die.

They'd die if you didn't do anything too, so it's not really like that...

[He's not great at this reassuring thing.]

..."No one expected you to be able to save us." It's like that, isn't it?

Yeah. That's it.

[It's not her responsibility to get everyone out alive.]

I know what you mean, but... I still want to think there's hope.

Hey, I'm not going around saying we're all doomed, am I? I just don't want you to beat yourself up for every person who doesn't make it. You're a nice girl, y'know?

[He's allowed to call her that at his age.]

I'll do my best. There are just half of us left now, but if we can prevent at least one death, we could turn this around.

Right. It's not over 'til we say it's over.

[Or none of them are left to say it.]

Okay! Let's get this food out to the dining hall and make sure everyone knows to try their best!

Nobody's gonna beat us for encouragement!

[And at least she can be trusted to carry food without making it Super Weird.]

[no lumpy grey health hazards here]

You're a lifesaver, you know!

I know. You'd better hope nothing happens to me or you'd all starve.

[Probably not, but it's better not to risk it.]
