I don't know. [ and this time there's a tinge of frustration in his tone. ] I don't like the idea that we're going to have to label another one of us as a villain, but I like it even less thinking all of this happened on purpose this time.
[ he is a firm believer in the idea of justice, so of course he wants to find who's responsible. but on the other hand he knows the possibilities are way too high that they're going to hate the truth and will have to live with that. ]
[she has so many complicated feelings about the word villain. it's almost funny, that she got dragged here, made to deal with it so fiercely, so quickly.
he's a firm believer in the idea of justice, and so is she, in a sense - her justice is maybe a little more violent or selfish, but... there's a squishy part of her that doesn't want that. she doesn't want people to die. not really. there's a part of her that aches because this is just a reflection of the very long life she's lived.

If it was on purpose, we have a reason to be angry. [she says, quietly.] The worst part is waiting. That's all we can do is just - wait until we know more, and I kinda feel like a pod person saying that, but.

It didn't feel right to be mad when Mika was too ready to accept our judgment for something she didn't do on purpose. It'll be different if this is someone who went through with this knowingly.
