Locked to construe

[destage]

[When Kirigiri gets inside, she might see that Sayaka's room is pretty well kept--it's definitely been lived in to a certain extent, and the bed's just a little messy, but that's really it. A plain, normal looking room.

She locks the door once she's inside, pausing for a moment--turning the lock a few times, and then turning back with a smile.]

There. It should be safe now, Kirigiri-san.

[construe]

[ She rubs her temples, looking a little stressed out. ]

I-I need to know... does anyone else know that you are the defender-?

[destage]

[Sayaka pauses for a moment, before speaking honestly.]

Only you and Skye-san are the one's I've told...but...

[Well, considering what happened with Luke...Sayaka's face tightens.]

...Triton-san knows, and whoever gave him the note he passed onto me knows too.

[construe]

...

I know Naegi-kun has a gun, but... He's too afraid to use it...

[ Her expression darkens. ] Maizono-san, I'm going to kill another hunter tonight. Tomorrow, there will be another name at the trial. England's. After that, if all goes as planned, I plan to take out an additional hunter.

I have a gun for tonight, but...

[ A pause. ] Tomorrow night, I'll need another from you.

[destage]

[...Sayaka smiles when she mention's Naegi. She expected it, if anything.]

...I wouldn't expect any less from Naegi-kun. Good for him, keeping his self control...

[Sayaka notices the darkening of Kirigiri's expression, keeping her smile calming--something to balance it, so her expression doesn't go as well.

It was damn tempting, though.]

...Heh. You know I'd be happy to, Kirigiri-san. Anything to help us win this game, after all.

[...Yes. Anything to win. Her expression does seem to shift to slightly concerned, though, but she tries to force it off.]

[construe]

[ Kirigiri doesn't miss that look. She looks unsettled and exhausted. ]

...

I don't like it. I don't like killing.

...

My father... If he knew what I was doing, even for the right reasons... He'd be assured that abandoning me was the right thing to do.

[destage]

[The first part she can understand--no one should be able to like killing, it's just wrong but...woah. Woah, woah, woah, that caused her to put on the breaks extremely hard. Eyes widened, almost angry looking--]

--Your father abandoned you...?!

[It comes out very harsh sounding, as if it came out before she could stop it--there's definitely clear disdain behind it, if nothing else. How could he do something like that?]

What...what you're doing isn't right, sure, but...you can't completely fault yourself for it, Kirigiri-san...

[construe]

[ ...That's right. There's so much Sayaka doesn't know.

Kirigiri wonders if she should tell her. She's rather surprised by the outburst- and the care in Sayaka's voice. ]

...

The name 'Kirigiri' means... that I was born to continue the line of detectives in my family. My father... He never wanted that...
