[Yasu is quiet at the afterparty. She doesn't even have the easy bravado that she did when she made scones and tea for everyone last week. She's hunched over, shoulders bowed under the weight of the coming week. But if someone approaches... a spark of frustration flickers across her face.]

...you do realize that without Kakuya, we would be dead, right?

I know you all hate her. I know that she deserves it, in a lot of ways. Doing this to us is cruel, I won't deny it.

But if it wasn't for her, the Principal would've sicced the menagerie or... done who knows what to us after Jeanne's trial. He was clearly done playing this game. And even before that, although it was a way to trick us into playing with her, Kakuya was the one who woke us up from his brainwashing.

[Yasu sighs.] I'm just sick of everyone acting like she's this... incomprehensible abomination who has always wanted to torture us, who never cared about us at all. In some ways that makes what she's doing worse, and you have no reason to care about her feelings, but...

She's a kid, too. She gets hurt when she feels like nobody understands her.

That's all.
