... I know. It's just ... to be honest, it really freaks me out that they were able to steal her right out from under our noses. She wasn't more than two feet from either me or Ash. Really makes it hit home that we're not safe anywhere in or around this mansion, huh...? [ he gives a quiet, hollow laugh. ] We can't do a damn thing to actually stop the murders. And Pumpkin called my power OP?
[It does, in fact, suck. Akechi's expression was already grim, but it only gets worse when Isaac brings Pumpkin up.]
... The sisters often say things that work for the benefit of the killers, don't they? [And isn't that nice? Isn't that lovely?] And yet they feel affronted when we rightfully point out how unjust this is.
... you don't trust them either, huh. Man, I was furious with them during the first trial...! Who do they think they are?!
[ a sigh ]
Like, that's what I've been saying! The whole way they act and everything they do just feels so rehearsed! There's no way this hasn't happened before, and they knew that and lied to our faces during the first few days!
[ this is before [REDACTED] convinced him to go easier on the girls, so he's still all fired up angry about them right now. ]

I dunno. First Nia, then Asch... at least Asch is still alive. [ said quietly. ] It's just a lot. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
Even with me and Ash both there... somehow, Nia still died! It's not fair...!

["Asch is still alive." Boy, that's awful in retrospect.]
But I hope you aren't blaming yourself for her death. It's difficult to accept, but we are dealing with something that refuses to abide by any rules.
