Right. If you only look at the world through your own eyes, then you're only seeing a piece of it.
[ It's not different than how arguments are made by carefully considering and picking apart other arguments, or checking multiple news sources before formulating an opinion. Ranger can see that vantage point too. He can see the grief, and the frustration, but he chooses to reject that way of thinking as flawed. This is at most a little pain for the greater good. ]
Sometimes it's necessary to take a life, but you're right. She regretted her choice, so now it's black and white.
[ Bad people kill, good people don't, but the world has never been that simple. Komaeda mentions her first, and Rio believes it to be the best place to start. It's at the top, and it's the conversation that had been the most frustrating. He looks down at the table, recounting the conversation before he looks back up. That entire meeting is one he wouldn't mind forgetting. ]
I told her that he had least did something, and she asked if I feel better blaming others when they're upset. So I dug in, since I didn't see any of them do anything to prevent what had happened, and Rantarou just did what he needed to... But like you said, those reasons don't matter to her, since she felt like 'cause they gave up on looking at him they were lied to.
[ He shifts his position, averting his gaze for just a few seconds once more. ]
I was getting too agitated, so Hiyori stepped in, since otherwise I was gonna start talking about her role int he Death Game... That seems only fair, right? Everything that she did? Telling her that she has no right to criticize... [ His fingers curl. ] She didn't get him at all, she doesn't get me at all, but she asked why I can't understand her... Ahaha... But she believed in him, and that means means trying to see the best and trusting him... See, it's fine if she didn't understand, because those beliefs were betrayed.
[ Why bother understanding others when one can just paint an image in their head. His body trembles a little, and inhales a deep breath and exhales slowly to stave off his irritation. Those words had stung more than they should have. ]
... I think that's about it. Hiyori decided it was done after that, and he kept things from getting any more personal than they needed to. He has more sense than I do.
[ Why had he gotten so wound up, and why had it turned personal? What things might he have said if he wasn't stopped, and how much more harm might he have done? Those are questions that won't be answered now, and Rio can only answer half of them. He's not even sure why he had gotten so agitated. But his partner is sharp, so he'll be able to fill in the gaps. ]
