hope he does a deduction dance sometime this game. ]
Some people enjoy that, the macabre, but it didn't seem like something that young one would be that interested in. If it's all innocent, that's fine, but this place has already twisted things.
[ It may be a lot better now, but she hasn't forgotten how bad it was when they first arrived. ]
[ he looks sheepish, because he's obviously sort of twitchy, but... ]
...That makes sense. It's hard to trust people—just because we're told this place means us no harm doesn't make it that easy to believe it.
[ why should they expect people to be kind? why should they believe that things are getting better, just because their environment is more plush? he's not going to insist that they should, even if he does think there's been improvement. ]
It's not just about tomorrow. [ he's not suspicious about the party, specifically. it will, more likely than not, be fine. ] It's about everything we've seen so far.
[ First impressions, even if they can be deceiving, still has meaning. ]
We have gained the ability to use color for whatever reason.
[ There are so many questions. He may not be suspicious of tomorrow's event, but Roxana is. Murder doesn't affect her as much as it should, but that doesn't mean she's disconnected from it. ]
Yes. And we don't know the full capability or consequences of this color, amazing as it is.
[ it's a lot of uncharted territory. it could be as simple as color good, monochrome bad, but can they conclude that for sure? it's all a learning process right now, and even he's cautious. ]
...What are you expecting tomorrow, Ms Roxana? I'd be interested in hearing your perspective.
[ Whether it's good or bad, as long as it does something, Roxana will try it out. She can't be complacent doing just nothing, but it's not like she's going to go wild and endanger her life either. ]
You'll have to forgive that I'm not optimistic. Even if what Kumon and the Residents planned is truly innocent in intention, I don't know if it'll stay that way.
If everything we do produces color, one way or another, and all of us converge together, I wonder if that won't also shift something in the prism.
[ You know, since their amenities got better after they all came together. What if it goes the other way again? Not that she or I know how anything works, but that's her theory. ]
[ he's trying not to be optimistic or pessimistic. sometimes you just have to ride the thin line of expectations and see what you're presented with. ]
I can hope nothing happens here, but that's not what I expect. Whether it's tomorrow, or the next day, or the next month—this prism will show its true colors eventually.

...A little. I mean, I do understand the fun in making deductions, solving mysteries... but it's a little macabre to pretend someone's been murdered.

he nods though. ]
...Yes. Maybe I'm not ready to believe that this place is so innocent.
[ usually, he gives people the benefit of the doubt. but even if their amenities have improved, their situation hasn't really. ]
There's no real reason not to believe things will turn out fine tomorrow. But still, I don't think it's wrong to keep your guard up.

[ But she's a mean girl? ]
But I will keep my guard up.
