[DID I DO THIS RIGHT I did.]

[Anyway, after the trial Hermann is retreating to think about his choices. He really just argued to send two innocent people to their permadeaths instead of one, and even if he doesn't think he was wrong, it's still... A Lot.

He can't go apologize to them yet because that would mean facing them. So instead he stops when he sees Mary alone, and goes to talk to her.]

Mary, I'm sorry you had to see that today.

[Wow this is already awkward lol]

Well, yes. That's bound to happen.

[how do u explain death 2 kids]

But I meant specifically that, ah, more people are likely to be erased.

[Thank god this game has provided him a convenient euphemism.]

[withsadness]

[It's a mystery.]

Oh...

[She wilts a little. Like a sad flower.]

I don't want that to happen. I just want everyone to be friends. Don't you think it would be much better if we were all friends?

[byjove]

I do think it would be better, yes.

[This feels Rough. He doesn't like it, take it back.]

But unfortunately some people won't see it that way. I don't want to frighten you, I only want you to be prepared.

[withsadness]

[No refunds.]

I don't know how prepared I can be...but I'll try. I don't want to be Erased. I don't want you or anybody else to be Erased, either.

[byjove]

I'll... Well. I intend to do everything I can to keep that from happening.

[He doesn't feel secure making her guarantees about her safety. It's hard to make guarantees without numbers to back them up. And with knowing he's not exactly in the best position to defend her.]
