I know my words seem hollow or unfounded, but I don't believe any of us would take advantage of your sympathy. Whatever personal choice, the game was designed to mock these kinds of thing.
Next week, it may be you. It may be Miss Ylfa, or any other person undeserving. And then you will have to choose: yourself, someone you're least concerned with, or someone you care for who happens to be the strongest. This isn't an excuse. It's just a reminder.

I don't like being taken advantage of.
no subject
You mean your sympathy...?
no subject
Yes. [a little clipped.] But you're right. None of you are on my team, and so to expect any of you to not use me is foolish.
[a pause.]
It's just the way that it is.

That is what I did this week. You don't need to remind me.

What will you do, tomorrow?
no subject
Watch punishment come for the one who deserves it, I suppose.
no subject
You are just as irritating as the rest of them. [but there's no heat to it.]

All this doublespeak and indirectness. Ugh.
no subject
[He is slightly amused by this, but not surprised.]
I understand. Everything will be very direct tomorrow.
