We're changing every day here... Especially as this is our second time. It's easier to become desensitized to death and sorrow to the point of numbness and apathy. I've heard plenty of different ways people have said it doesn't matter.
It grates me. Just a bit... It's important to be regular and normal, so people can remember what that's like.
You don't need to agree. [ In the tone that he thinks you'd be wrong. ] But that is what I believe.
[ Yes... He is too old to be acting like this he's almost 20. That's Claude's age, damn. ]
What's the point in that, in a place like this? At least if we were all apathetic... We probably wouldn't even be here, suffering for someone's entertainment.
We wouldn't get emotional over stupid things. We wouldn't miss things, panic, vote for the wrong person.
[ Claude was not always the most mature, either. ]
The point is for some of us to not become heartless monsters, not that it stopped them from pulling certain people here. [ he has already decided some of them are too far gone. ] The point is that we have each other.
We wouldn't even try as hard in trial if we didn't care... And if you didn't care, then you would have been cruel to Siffrin who obviously cared for you. They would have died alone despite the amount of eyes on them.
[ ... ]
What is the point of mulling over something you can't be, Rin?
Someone that does let their emotions cloud their judgment. Or let themselves get paralyzed by fear. Who knows the right thing to say when someone is scared and hurt.
Someone that could've convinced Siffrin to live instead of me.
Anyway, he listens and honestly these are things he also wants to be. It's all relatable to everyday people and Jacopo really wants to be normal. ]
I'm not great at knowing what to say, either, but... You know this isn't the end. You can still grow—and you can still convince them that they should value themselves. They're just a message away.

[ Ugh. Just shoves his hands into his hair, gripping at the strands. ]
Maybe how things played out last time were better.

[ He watches him. He understands wanting to be more, to be better. ]
I'm not going to support you in making your way to being an emotional husk, by the way, so choose a different goal to work towards.
