OTOME CATCHALL

[it's jasmine. she passes otome her own otome-labeled mug.]

The worst has come to pass.

[ she has her own mug, this is the best. ]

Mm. I was worried that this might happen. And even now, there's still so much we don't know.

-- Thank you, by the way, for the tea.

[she shakes her head. no no, it's nothing.]

I find everything is just a little bit easier with some tea and conversation.

[...still, she sighs quietly.]

I think, even in a guilty case, we must assume this place played some part in their act.

That the murderer isn't wholly to blame.

Are you thinking perhaps that compulsion was involved again?

[ She gazes down at her tea. ]

That's... certainly going to make things more complicated, if that's true.

[byleth nods. she is.]

I don't think it's clear-cut.

Not to mention that forty people pointing fingers are not the best judge, jury, and executioner.

Not at all. That's a lot of opinions.

Everyone will have their own way of reacting to the situation at hand, and every one of them will be different.

[even similar opinions often had different clauses.]
