[ that he admitted it, not that he voted. that's news to him!! not that he seems too bothered ] The truth has a way of coming out whether we like it or not. But... it's not like we had an antidote this week.
[ so maybe he can't entirely play chuuya, even though it's stupid and counterproductive. as for the vote, he just shrugs. ]
[Chuuya has never really had any positive conversations with adults ever, so he's just not sure how to navigate it well. Sorry Phoenix, he's an angry teen who just watched his rival die and he can't handle all these feelings.
Somehow the fact that Phoenix is calm does work, though. It's hard to stay angry when there isn't another person keeping up the anger feedback loop.]
...yeah, you are. I dunno if that makes you smart or stupid.
[He'll actually take that spoon and eat the pudding though.]
[ there seems to be a lot of those going around.... but phoenix doesn't mind. it's not like he or anyone else hasn't been in a position where they wanted to save someone they wouldn't... chuuya would have went about it the wrong way, but the sentiment wasn't wrong. ]
Yeah, we have a lot of idiots running around here, so it makes sense that this would be Bad Decision Town.
[The fact that Phoenix just accepts Chuuya's reasoning? It goes a long way to making Chuuya more amicable. He's very much like a semi-feral cat that needs to be shown he won't be attacked if he stops posturing.]

Why are you being so nice? I outright admitted that I would've lied to save Dazai's life! And I voted for you too!
[YEAH UH. That's why he was looking to bother Phoenix. He was torn on admitting to that vote or not.]

...I didn't want you dead, by the way. I just couldn't vote for Dazai, and I figured nobody else would vote for you so it was a safe vote.

I don't mind. We all have to vote, even if it's a crooked system.
