[ unsurprisingly, alyssa is a little subdued after everything today, just sort of staring into the waters beyond the main town's limits. hearing yona's voice catches her attention, though, and she gives the other girl a quick smile and a little wave. ]
Oh, you know—a little upset that someone still thought I murdered Raven even after you and Won cleared me, but otherwise okay.
...if it helps at all, maybe they'd already voted, and just... didn't have enough time to change it? It felt like things were happening really fast at the end.
Not a grudge, but - I can't think why anyone would have voted for you, after your fingerprints weren't on it. So it almost has to be that someone just didn't change their vote in time, right...?
...or they pressed the wrong picture by mistake. The touchscreen can be a little funny sometimes.
...I just think... there are a lot of people I get along with fine here, at least... until it comes to the trials. Then they keep saying things or doing things that are hard for me to accept. I can't understand why people would vote for you when it obviously wasn't you.
...you know, that's the funny thing about people. If you start to pit them against each other, especially with the kinds of stakes we have, eventually, it'll start to turn out just like this.
I've heard it dozens of times before, but I guess I never really knew how true it was until now.

Maybe I'm finding it a little hard to be optimistic because it was my life on the line.

...I hope that's all it was. I think the fact that your fingerprints weren't on it should have been enough proof that it wasn't you.

What do you mean? Do you think someone has a grudge against me?

...well, enough of that. Maybe we should try to talk about some happier things? Sharing memories and all that might help take my mind off things.
no subject
[a beat. hmm.]
What's the first thing you think of when you think of things that make you happy?
no subject
Well, my research for one. I really like sharing my knowledge with others.
