[ blinks, then looks down, rubbing an arm uncomfortably ]
I mean...I was scared. People were suspicious of me. I wanted to find definitive proof that pointed to someone else so that no one could play guessing games and have me end up like Hans.
I was so focused on it that I...didn't hesitate to call you out.
You're not exactly on Hans' level. [ of people being like damn... this guy sucks. ace is saying this about a dead man and doesn't care. ] Even when you were being looked at... No one really wanted it to have been you. Remember?
It's okay. [ ... ] If I'm honest, even Reigen's killer... I'm selfish, so I wanted to know who did it, because he's a friend. But Reigen himself looked guilty of some pretty messed up stuff when he defended himself from Yae Miko. Maybe whoever did it had a stupid message like I did, and thought he was a better target, the way I did Sigrun. Maybe they didn't mean for it to be that bad the same way Reigen hadn't meant for it.
[ ... he looks away ]
I'm not the kind of guy who can forgive them, even in that scenario, but being better at killing people doesn't make me good.

Doing it to spare others and to try and save everyone does, though.

Oh yeah? What about Albedo?

C'mon. A guy with that complexion? It'd be an atrocity.

...but yeah, staying out of jail is better than becoming a prison jumpsuit couture model, as a general rule.
