This is the road to ruin and we're starting at the end [W4, Tues]

[After the events of yesterday Hiro sits on the information for a while before he wakes up bright and early, heading for Kyouko's hut and scouting the area. Erhard doesn't seem to be around and so he knocks on the door, patiently waiting for her to answer. By the time the door swings open he's immediately grabbing her arm to drag her outside.]

Found out some stuff, dangerous to talk about here, we're going for a walk. [A beat.] I have breakfast?

I understand your motivation. However, the only way to ally with the Sirens is to knowingly vote for those who do not have the killing role; that is what I meant by that. To work with them, it means killing two people every week to buy them time. It may be for the best - I don't know. It's why I'm uncertain about working with that side, or the other.

[ granted, she'll have to do the same with that name - because it isn't like she'll reveal her sources. ]

Because even if they wish to break the game, they will still kill every week. The Wickies may or may not be the same; Jack was our only source there. I suspect the best way to end things would require more "trust" than any of us have. But it is hard to say, knowing so little.

Perhaps the sacrifice of two lives per week really is the best way to minimize deaths. We'll see; hopefully those who are acting outside of their roles will cease to do so, though I wouldn't give that too much credit. I...am trying to act by the moral compass I should have.

I understand what you're saying. Really, I do. But at the same time I want to think that the Sirens want to figure out a way to stop killing weekly. That was the impression I got from talking to the Siren I found. So...give me some time, I can figure out a plan.

But I won't give them your name. I won't give them a reason to go after you in case any of them turn. And I'm going to keep pretending I'm the Wickie and I'm going to keep everything you've told me to myself until I end up dead.

Okay? Is that good enough? [...] What do you mean "should have"?

...You already slipped up, you know.

[ he said her name already. ]

And I mean I am not as good a person as the people I set my course by. Even doing that, they're better. They'd try what I have narrowed it down to as more than a final option.
