'Bah...'
Something horrible happened. But Em was not too shocked. What could surprise her now? After seeing two deaths, the impact wasn't as great now.
One died. One accused. One given a choice. that's the current situation.
Em shrugged it off. One day it'll be her turn probably. But luckily she's good at playing it down, so it wouldn't be her turn so soon. Directing other peoples attention to others and not herself was a good choice.
However, the problem she should be thinking now is different.
'Should I vote that Alexander is the murderer or not?' should be this. Em started analyzing.
It wasn't a matter of whether Alex is really the murderer or not that Em is considering. It really didn't matter to her at all. Rather, she's considering which vote will be better for her and the current situation on hand.
Considering the current situation, where there are no clues or hints as to who the murderer is, the more civilians die, the larger the percentage of murderers in the group and it would be a dangerous situation... If that is the case, the lesser people they can target and the higher the chances of one particular civilian being attacked. "If I don't want to be attacked, I wouldn't want this to happen." This is the first scenario.
However, Em knows that if Alex was pronounced as the murderer, and even if he is not, the real murderer will take it slow and lay low for a while. This would be a good protection for the civilians for awhile and for the rest to search for the true murderer.
Em considered a few other possibilities and she came up with her decision. But before her final decision, she'd have to meet up with that Alex guy first.
One of Em's talents... Finding loopholes in areas where she wants to go and finding ways in without being noticed by others. She walked up to the guy.
"Hey. "
Em talked to the guy while separated by a screen.
"Are you the murderer... Is what I'm going to ask but... Theres no way you're gonna say so if you are. So.."
Em popped a lollipop into her mouth. "I'm gonna vote no because I trust you. "
The guy seemed shocked. Em continued, "I'm just asking you a question, answer truthfully... Who do you think is the real murderer?"
