Before I came to this mansion, I had really good hearing. By listening to the sounds someone was making, I could tell what they were like. I can't hear them anymore, but I think almost everyone here would sound kind if I could.
[ that... kind of seems beyond just having good hearing. it's kind of amazing what the people here can do, when their abilities aren't being blocked. ]
[ it felt as if a lot was going on at once—all those ordinarily encouraging words, twisted by the underlying accusations, provoking the monster and magnifying his fears under their scrutiny. ]
they were lucky. when toi comes back, he'll enter the ballroom to a cage with the monster in control. the monster rumbles, testing the chains with the same forward and backward movement of an arm. toi will go ignored unless he approaches, at which point it'll bare its fangs.
neither the host nor the monster appears to be in need of anything at this time. it would be best for toi to retire for the rest of the night. ]

[ he's been wrong here, too. hearing or no, he's always fumbling. ]
But it's what I want to believe.

When you said my name, it sounded scary.

Actually, more people spoke up than I thought. It was hard to think straight.
[ not that he was thinking straight to begin with. from start to finish, the trial was pure hell. ]
If what you said is true and the others come by, it might get stuffy in here. I appreciate it, but you don't have to stay.
[ as exhausted as he sounds, he means those words. he isn't kicking toi out without reason, either. ]

I'll come back later. To see if there's anything else you need for the rest of the night. Okay?
