[ this has been a long and terrible day, and at this point in the evening, now that he's gotten his cut taken care of and everything, sebastian is just done with it.
whenever vicious comes back to the room (he's not even sure if he's more dreading the return of another possible murderer roommate who will probably just make fun of him, or looking forward to not being in here by himself anymore), he'll find him lying in bed with his face buried in a pillow. ]
I mean— I know I was being annoying by pushing so much, but we were almost out of time and no one else was doing it! And it's not like I made him kill someone in the first place!
... Kid, I don't really care. You gonna own when you think you fucked up, or are ya gonna make a bunch of excuses and not figure out any shit from the whole mess at all?
[ he finally pushes himself up into a sitting position, and gives his pillow a pathetic punch. ]
I just hate all of this! I'm usually great with murder cases [ (citation needed) ], but the whole system here is completely messed up, and it's really hard when you know both the people who died and the ones you're accusing of killing them! Because it took us so long to start pressing him, we never even found out why he did it. And it's—
[ he bites his lip for a second. ]
W-what I wanted, when I accepted the invitation to come here... was a really fast way to get more experience and improve my skills as a prosecutor. So... what if this all actually happened the way it did because of me? If it's my fault they decided to do the whole trial thing like this, or even— if my wish somehow really did have something to do with him killing someone?
but... no, they don't know why he did it. but as far as vicious is concerned, the motive doesn't really matter in the slightest. ]
People kill for anything. If you wanna get all in deep and try to pick apart his motives, be my guest. It's ain't gonna change the fact people died and he got his ass handed to him by a siren.
I don't think it'd take much for that guy to kill anyone. Seemed the type, y'know? But if it was you that caused all this, what're you gonna do about it?
[ he just really hates the idea of having lived with a secret murderer, and really wants there to have been a reason... ]
I... I don't know. I mean... I'm going to tell them how trials and everything are actually supposed to work, because I'm the only one who can do that... s-so at least if anything else bad happens, it should go differently next time.

I can't do anything about what already happened, though, can I?

week 1, saturday post-trial
whenever vicious comes back to the room (he's not even sure if he's more dreading the return of another possible murderer roommate who will probably just make fun of him, or looking forward to not being in here by himself anymore), he'll find him lying in bed with his face buried in a pillow. ]

vicious does wander over and leans over the bed to stare at him. is he actually crying? ]
no subject
What?? Are you gonna tell me this was my fault for having a face?
no subject
Touchy.
Was it your fault?
no subject
[ don't ask him that!! ]
I mean— I know I was being annoying by pushing so much, but we were almost out of time and no one else was doing it! And it's not like I made him kill someone in the first place!

No skin off my back either way.

But you're beatin' yourself about something, and that's a waste of time if you're just gonna ignore why you're smackin' yourself around.

Assumin' someone gets murderously happy again.

You've got enough common sense to know that much. You either sink under it all, or ya keep going. Up to you which one you do.
