Betrayal... [ Her voice slips into something that's clearly wistful, lips curling into a solemn smile. It's sad, melancholic. Fingers wrap around her talisman, gripping it tightly. ]

I never wanted to kill him, or his friends. But I was a part of a secret group that was trying to save everyone, and I couldn't say anything. I wanted to, so badly. To say something. I almost did, and... I messed up big time.

[ Inaba's grip tightens, almost as if she's trying to break the talisman itself. ]

After a conversation I had with him and his friend, he was threatened by the mastermind. They kidnapped all of his classmates and told him that if he didn't try getting information about what we were doing, they'd kill them. It might as well have been my betrayal. My own fault.

[ ... ] I've given him no reason to forgive me.

[ For all his salt. ] As for what I want to do? I don't know. I'm not going to ever see him again, most likely.

[ He doesn't want to. She can tell. It hurts so much, but she can tell that much. He... was just pretending, this whole time when he said that he'd try to be friends with her and that much hurts even more. ]
