fishingforcompliments | [not again] catchall for escha

From the evidence, I... I would have believed that it was Ogata. But...

[As they all know now, that wasn't it.]

I heard something similar about Guy. But... having shared a cabin with him for these past few weeks, I cannot say that he strikes me as a murderer. [...] Perhaps he would not have been except for what happened in the temple.

Right. The temple had it's own particular set of rules... [ From what she has overheard, anyway. ] I want to like him, too.

I want to like most of the people here.

[figuring out missed culprits is hard.]

Me too. There's no one here that I hate or even really dislike. Not enough to hurt, and not enough to accuse of anything.

I wouldn't want anyone to go through being suspected if they don't have to.

...

[oof. yeah, that sounds pretty awful. escha would know. flayn's expression falls, and she looks down.]

...I do not think that you were the killer, Escha. So, I... I hope that the others discard their suspicions of you, and soon.

Thank you, Flayn. I appreciate it.

I know that you don't have much reason to believe in me, and I know we don't know each other that well, yet. So it means a lot to me.

I do not need to know you well to know that you would never wish to hurt someone the way Yu was hurt... or to allow someone else to take the blame for it.

[she sighs]

That much is obvious simply by speaking with you once.
