[ he really wants to do some hugging but he is still a gross burnt corpse. he's still doing his best to make eye contact, and speaking very deliberately ]
[and is it really better for them to vote for someone who didn't do anything wrong? is it. . . really fair that Ookurikara is going to suffer for their inability to come together as one. . .?]
