Right...whatever got you the label of "villain." Was it something you wanted to do? Or was it something other people decided on for themselves?
No point in keeping secrets, huh...?
Sure, let's hear it.

A long time ago, Trinity was made up of three different schools. Eventually they all signed a treaty and over time they turned into one school. But there was a fourth school, Arius, that refused to join them and fell into ruin. Trinity and Arius have been bitter enemies ever since.
Then there's Gehenna. A terrible, chaotic school. But one that Nagisa, as a host of the Tea Party, was going to sign a peace treaty with. Not to merge, but to cease fire.
In secret, I allied with Arius. I sent assassins after my friends so that I could take over the Tea Party, sabotage the treaty with Gehenna, and lead Trinity into war against them.
... For starters.

Huh. So a case of choosing the lesser evil? Choosing to kill if it means a better outcome?

[ basically. ]
Rather than thinking about it as if there are lesser evils, it was simply a matter of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
I don't think anyone who nearly gets their best friends killed can claim that they were thinking of a lesser evil.

Well. 'Nearly' implies it didn't work, so you didn't get your best friends killed.
...why'd you do all that?
...why'd you do all that?
...all that, but the thing you're actually going to get killed over was a complete accident.
What a joke.
What a joke.
...I guess so. Karma doesn't care when or how you get your comeuppance. Just that you do.
Huh. So you failed but you're still getting punished for trying in the first place.

Sounds about right, honestly. The only thing life loves more than karma is being unfair.

That sounds optimistic, coming from someone who's about to be executed.
Realistic. You think it's realistic to call life fair?
You go back on something terrible you did once and try to move on, only to get sentenced to death over an honest accident, and you call that fair?

[ this pulls him up short for a moment as he goes quiet and thinks. ]
...people have done far worse and gotten off scot free.
I mean, even the other "villains" here just get caught and thrown in jail, and I'm sure they've killed others intentionally.
I don't know what 'fair' is...but it's not this.
