That night . . . I left the room and saw Flayn in the lobby. She tried to run, but I chased her into the gift shop. [He lifts his left hand.] Rin was right; the cut was from a snow globe. And the dent on the wall was probably my doing.
[His hand lowers.]
She tried to lose me at the butterfly garden, but I tracked her down. That's where I snapped her neck.
[ hearing it recounted like this is a little... unsettling, almost. just. 'i tracked her down and snapped her neck.' it's not like he knew flayn, but still.. she seemed kind enough. ]

In a word, it was a shadow. But I'll acknowledge that I was the host, and it played on my impulses.

So.... you weren't yourself?

There was a time I almost cut someone innocent down for no reason other than my anger. It's something I've always had the capacity to do.

Well, I'm not in any position to judge. I've done some pretty messed up stuff, too.
But you weren't in control, right?
no subject
Right. I was completely wild.

.. At least it was quick.
[ he doesn't know what else to say. ]
Why her?
no subject
Because I saw her. I would've gone after anyone else if I had them in my line of sight.

You know the rest.

Your hostage. Did you hear anything more about her? [ was she safe? this was before the announcement that killing guarantees their safety ]

It didn't speak to me after that. In regards to Mari's status, I don't know anything.
