...it might be more accurate to say I feel sorry for him.
[Feel, because this is ic Saturday and there's still icly a slim chance he might make it out of the execution alive even though we both know he won't.]
His outlook on most things is... very different from mine. It sounds as though he has not experienced much kindness in his life - and I cannot help but wonder what sort of a person he might have been if he had.

I certainly did not wish to see him condemned for a crime he did not commit...
[Yeah, it's okay now. She's had a little more time to come down from being as upset as she was in that moment.]
I... know it is a bit much to hope for, but I hope things work out alright tomorrow, somehow. [it won't, though.] I watched some things on the screen in the theater... people in other places had ways to save whomever had been voted for.

...it sounds as though you never received that comeuppance? I am glad to hear it. I have a hard time imagining you as an... [hmm.] ...asshole.
[He sniggers as soon as Flayn swears. God, that's good. Anyway.]
Yeah? I mean, I try not to be when it counts. [Just when it's. Funny.] But I also - it's important to me, that I'm able to protect the people I care about. People depend on me to be strong enough to do it. So I guess I spent a lot of time trying to show off how I wasn't a guy you wanted to fuck with, so nobody would want to.
The comeuppance was, maybe, that I'd come to care about new people who thought I was the type of person who would hurt them.

Flayn's way of saying Ogata is an asshole is very wholesome.]
Yeah. I understand. I don't have that much patience for that kind of guy, but I wanted to see it, too.
I was kind of a combative asshole last time around. I always expected some kind of comeuppance for that.
