[ it was what now ]

I confess I haven't the slightest what "football" could be—if you think it of vital importance that I know.

[siblingless]

... I wouldn't call it important. But I suppose it may help to know it's a team sport, and some people are hired to perform stunts on the sidelines to cheer the teams on. We call them cheerleaders. [Does that make sense? Heck if she knows. But she will only pause for a moment, to give Alphi space to digest that, before she moves on.] Taako-san and I were asked to perform for the cheerleaders. We didn't really want to, but... we were left without a choice. And after we did as they asked, they told us to kill one of them.

[She pauses, just. Tired.]

Honestly... there were many times we were asked to kill another person, or bring harm to ourselves.

[ He does digest it, and continues to listen. But his frown never fades. ]

And to what end?

... It was the only way for us to return to the town. We tried everything else we could think of, until we had no choice but to do as we were told.

So needlessly cruel. There is nothing worth justifying such horrible acts... I am deeply sorry you forced into something so abhorrent.

... You don't have to apologize. It's not your fault, Leveilleur-san. [Tiredly.] I just hope, um... what we learn can be useful in the future.
