Isn't that just saying "of course he liked it because he was being affected by an outside influence"?

People like being in control and hurting others, it's easy to allow pettiness to take control. That's not unique to Battler-kun. But he isn't someone who's defined by those stray thoughts. But I suppose I'm going to have to find proper proof, huh.

There was opportunity, but he chose to flee instead. Furthermore, that scenario also caused participants to feel the need to harm others, among other mental effects which caused Battler's thinking to be wildly different than what is normal for him.

Ushiromiya Battler doesn't have combat skills to effectively protect people with, but that doesn't mean he can't help them. Ushiromiya Battler looks after people in his own way, by lightening the mood, fishing to feed them, helping them feel better and showing that he cares. He also has the intelligence to help them avoid danger. For these reasons, Ushiromiya Battler is an integral part of his team. There is no single thing that defines a person's worth.

[Now those are interesting truths happening over there.]

So these are helpful, but we might not be making the best use of our time. Probably the deeper we go, the more important it will be, assuming there are more rooms like this to keep escaping. In fact, if we move on, we might find things that will make working on these ideas easier.

[a lot of this isn't really anything new to Ange. both in terms of the cruelty and torture involved, but also in terms of being aware of how these games went. she's read all about it before, spectated it herself...

but there is something different now. something about reliving it from a first person perspective... even without being the direct victim. the full awareness that what your eyes are seeing is real, that these people are being murdered over and over again in the most grotesque ways and there is little you can do to stop it. the sheer rawness of it all.

the first memory alone is enough for Ange to end up crouching on the floor, emptying her stomach and crying. she barely has any time to recover, the rest of it continues to play in her mind and all she can do is cry at the horror of seeing her family hurt each other like this, both physically and emotionally. by the time the EVA-Beatrice memory comes into play there's really nothing left for her to throw up, but her body doesn't care. it's just water now... water coming out of her mouth, out of her eyes that won't stop crying, out of her pores that cannot stop sweating both because of the adrenaline and the physical exertion...

and then... finally, the impending awareness of her aunt's true death.

she has to keep going. she knows it's useless to stay here crying like a little girl, but she'll also need a few minutes to regain her strength, after this.

for now, she's going to remain crouched on the floor... trying to get her breathing back in control before she ends up hyperventilating as well.

she weakly reaches for the sheet again to wipe her face with it, which may or may not be a good idea, but she's too spent to care at the moment.]

these are red truths that can't be challenged.

not by her.

she leaves the photograph back where it was and moves for the door. she could probably try to clean up more of this room, but is that even something she should keep doing? is it even helping anyone? certainly not her, at any rate.]

[Hiding sounds like a terrible idea when there's only two things accessible. Especially if the killer is uh, checks notes, herself? Or Battler, considering the theme of the purple. Kinda 50/50 on that one.

If she blocks the door, she might block Ange and Rika from coming in...but that's actually probably a good thing really, if they can't get in then they can't be hurt, and it's not like they would just be stuck out in the hall with the killer. So that's exactly what she's going to try. Is there a lock and chain on this door? Because first of all those need to be locked if they're not already.]

Yes.

Ushiromiya Kyrie is the culprit, Ushiromiya Battler never killed anyone. No matter how you want to spin it to take some blame for setting things in motion, that's a fact. Ushiromiya Battler is not the culprit.

[You're really rude, Battler's subconscious?

So that means it's Beatrice? But she's also not discounting that this is some technicality like "it's not Ushiromiya Battler because it's Sumadera Battler" or whatever he's come up with to worry about.

Then I think you still count as Battler, and you came into existence while thinking about the events of Rokkenjima. So the first two are true. I don't think your own mind, even if you have a different name or whatever else, would count as someone who knows Battler - after all, if that person knows Battler, he wouldn't have to think so hard about it.

You're just frustrated by her stubbornness. But Ange loves you, so she would understand sooner or later. Rather, aren't you not giving her enough credit?

Come on, you put them in the wrong order, they just got easier. I know at least the last two for fact. But "love is despair"? Even I know that's not true, love isn't despair, loving someone hurts more than anything, but it's not because there's anything bad about love. It's being vulnerable that's painful. Loving someone means giving them the ability to hurt you because you've offered that trust. It's awful if they make a mistake, or even purposefully trample it. But that's not what love is. It's just love, it's a good thing, it will always be much more happy than sad, that's why the next point is true - you'll keep feeling it anyway, no matter what.

Battler-kun... Don't you know you don't have to be so polite with me? I know it's not that easy, so if there's still something wrong, I hope you know you can ask for my help, if you want it.

...Or that we can just sit here and talk, or quietly have tea, since I doubt I can just leave.

[Oh, that hurts a lot. She knows he's afraid of her, but still, hearing it really sucks?]

I know I am. Although I didn't think I managed to do anything to be frightening this time...

[She puts a hand on his arm though, a bit tentative so he can easily reject it.]

I know you're not giving up on her, Battler-kun. And that it's not easy to navigate all this. But I do think it will work out, because you both care, you're both going to try. That's what really matters, isn't it? Even if she's frustrating.

[Well she can at least accept this easily, sighing.]

Oh good, now I don't have to feel like I'm always neglecting one of you.

...How does it feel? It's not like I can fix it, but still, maybe we can wrap something around it?

[God you're really her kid. Stop that.]

Ah, good point. ...That reminds me, she said you used things I taught you during those games - that was nice to hear, I hope they helped and didn't just get in the way like they did for me just now.

Mm, like you said, I only know half of it, or not even. But it sounds like you've been through a lot...so to make it, I'm sure you must have learned a lot, and come up with your own ideas too. That's pretty amazing, you know.

I don't like these circumstances, but otherwise, I can tell that I would really enjoy debating with you like this. You would make a good opponent.

Small bombs? It sounds a bit silly, but I don't know, there's no reason that can't be an argument. You might sound more credible if you just call them "explosives", though.

[Wow Battler. It's cute though? She laughs, anyway!]

Using even slightly more technical phrasing immediately improves the perception of anything you say. Although there's not much helping that, I admit.

"Throw things at the wall and see what sticks", right? Or negotiating by starting with an absurd demand, knowing it's going to be rejected. It's not a bad tactic at all.

That sounds like fun.

[She's very deep in thought about her strategy, but just wearing that easy smile as her poker face!

Until she hears Ange and breaks out of that trance to get to her feet and go greet her daughter, smoothing Ange's hair out. Mom fuss.]

You made it! Sorry, I didn't mean to run so far ahead.

[yesss, mom hugs good and she definitely needed those right now.]

It's okay... it turns out I was right after all and you were able to help, right?

[then, turning to Battler]

... Are you okay now?

[Yeah she. Figured Ange might be a little upset and in need of aggressive family softness.]

Mm, although I had to go about it a bit differently.

A bit differently...?

[She nods.]

He's quite the opponent, going right for my blind spot. Right, Battler-kun?

If you're thinking you can make your move right now while I'm not looking and I'll be too distracted to notice what it was, don't be so sure.

... Do you want to finish your game first?

[said with a tone that implies she'd also like to watch them play against each other. who knows why. weird.]

[She laughs at Battler's comment. Smart boy.]

What, isn't it boring to watch other people play something so slow?

Then I would be glad to keep playing. It would be a shame to just abandon our game.

[She's playing it cool but. Thanks Ange this makes her so happy actually... Tea party happen after all!]
