Gods, I can't believe we have to do this whole thing over again... And somehow I don't think we'll be able to get people to leave again like we did last week.
Well, maybe if we're lucky, [ he says with a roll of his eyes, ] it'll be the same deal and we won't have to sacrifice any more of our stash. That'd be one of the only good things about this.
[but he sounds dry as he says that, too, going along with the joke.]
I talked to one of the dorm heads and they said they'd talk to someone about overturning her expulsion, but... They told me not to hold my breath, either, so.
I'm not really an eye for an eye kind of guy, so I wouldn't have even wanted both of them to get a tie vote or anything, but - if at least one person had to be there, it should have been one of them.
I just hate to see someone innocent get put up for something like that. Like, what's even the point of trying to solve a murder if they don't care who suffers for it, anyway? I'm not going to say there shouldn't be some kind of retribution for who did it, but this isn't solving anything. We don't even know why they did it in the first place.
I'm getting the idea that the person behind this doesn't exactly care about fairness. But - someone along the way should have realized this was a horrible idea and put a stop to this entire system. It's ridiculous.

I really wanted to think - it wouldn't be a pattern, but...

Right. Someone else is going to get dragged into that again, aren't they?

[ that it will work, but you know. good to know. ]
The only ones who should be going into that stage are the ones who killed Lan Wangji. We were just - missing something.
