[Also being sad, mostly. Estelle's got that invoice in her hands. When she sees Sebastian, she looks up.]
It... it's started, hasn't it... Poor Flayn...

I thought so, too... I thought we could be friends.
... I wonder what happens now...

You're probably right...
[She looks down at the paper again.]
... It's only one victim... right?

Oh? Who? I know there was one who said they'd eat us, but...
Oh, Orion!
You know... I thought that was kind of strange, too. They also said that the mystery doors on that new floor shouldn't have opened, but clearly they... did...

[ Well, that was... something. Sebastian's mostly keeping to his room because he really doesn't want to deal with people being mad at him (even though he feels totally justified??), but he ventures out into the hallway a few times.
Catching a glimpse of Estelle on one of those occasions, he... kind of considers running away because he's pretty sure he upset her (even though he STILL feels totally justified!!). But he's waffling on it for a bit, so if she looks over this way, she's probably just going to see him anxiously watching her. ]

[Estelle is looking pretty depressed after everything today. Still, she lifts her head when she sees him looking at her.]
Oh, Sebastian...
Oh, Sebastian...
Hi...
[Wow, the awkwardness is contagious.]
I, um... Today was just terrible, wasn't it...

I... I still think you're wrong about Sieghart.
But we don't have to talk about that if you don't want to. Truthfully, I just... I was hoping we could be friends.

Well, because... first of all, he was really kind to me.
A-and there's that picture! He was carrying a picture of a group of people from the last place he was in, the school... and one of my closest friends was in it, and they all looked happy...
He must have kept it because he cared about them.

[ He frowns listening to this, not sure what to make of it. He'd already been confused the first time they'd talked, when he'd gotten whiplash from him being a pompous immortal jerk one minute to acting like a shounen mentor the next, but this is really taking it to another level. ]
But then why... I asked him why he didn't tell his wife he wasn't really dead when it had to be hurting her a lot, and he just said he "didn't feel like it"! A-and then killing someone like Flayn and lying about it, and...
[ Then stabbing a guy in the face in front of all of them... ]
I don't get it.

I don't get it.
I don't know the reasons for everything he did, so I can't answer that... but...
I think he's the kind of person who tries to act strong and aloof, so people can't tell what he's really feeling.

[Estelle's at least fairly composed, considering what they just witnessed today. She offers Sebastian a small smile in greeting.]
Did you come to pay respects, too?
Did you come to pay respects, too?
Y-yeah, I guess.
It... was probably kind of my fault it happened like that, huh?
[ it may have just been paranoid egocentrism the other times he's thought things in these games were his fault, but it's hard to imagine that was the case this time.
not that he has any way of knowing whether anything else would have been better, but... still feels pretty bad. ]
