[ you know, that's a fair assessment and the truth of the matter is far from that. it's also a lot farther than what answer he gives her but that's fine? it's fine...
the idea of him killing steven is laughable (if it wasn't also sad). ]
If the circumstances called for it, of the people who are here, Steven would have been far from the top candidates.
[ honestly the person who put fukuda there in the first place did so in desperation and in fear for what they could do. murder a murderer before they get the chance to act, i guess.
though he's not missing that tone. hmm? ]
Who accused you of being responsible for Steven's death before trial?
Of course, they were glib about it, and it's hard to tell how seriously they meant what was said. Maybe they just wanted to see how I'd react. Hard to tell what someone like that is thinking, sometimes.

[her tone suggests that somebody did not.]

[ hmmm. ]
They came second in the vote, so I wonder what would have happened if Gu Yun didn't accuse the Fukuda at the end.

Still... despite the situation, I’m not sure I’d attribute their actions to a desire for self-preservation.

[ looks at the two of them, i suppose???
