[There's the barest of pauses; he doesn't let go of Mandricardo's hands, but he does pull back a little so he can look him in the face.]

I do believe that those who kill together are working on different information from the rest of us. What that is, I don't yet know - but I wish to believe that they would not kill for a small prize or a paltry victory.

[He just has... no idea what they might be killing for, and that makes it impossible to give them the benefit of the doubt, even if they all seem like caring people so far. That said... his gaze briefly averts, flicking down to his blade.]

But she will kill again, of that I'm nearly certain. Regardless of her reasons for taking lives, she must take responsibility for it. I think she would agree, to be honest. [...] That said, while I disagree with the cruelty of expulsion, I believe that would be our best option. The vote. One should only take action to take her life personally if they are willing to take responsibility for it, or they may send an innocent person to the noose in their stead.

[Then they have a whole week to potentially interrogate her, too! Though he doesn't think that'll work.]
