Answer me!

[He's yelled so much this trial, he's starting to go hoarse. Some of those yells might have been screams as a result of literal lava, but you know. Details.]

You're not still keeping them, are you?! They've... they've been through enough, let them go home! If you won't let us go back to our ordinary lives, at least-- at least let these people go back home!

[ Hinata, are you going to be yelling here all night? He was hoping maybe against his own cynicism and pessimism that they would say something, but he can tell when nothing is now going to come of it.

He'll just say something in the midst of the ongoing silence, whether or not something good comes of it, he doubts it. ]

... You gave it a good try. But, I do not think they will answer. If anything, the hostages are likely still being kept. They only said one of them would go home if the murderer was successful. They never said anything about sending the rest home and it is likely they will not say anything on that now.

[ He even remembers Miata telling Satori her own hostage would be safe, but there was still nothing said about her being sent home. ]

[His vocal cords might eventually run out of strength, but if he had his way, he'd keep yelling. It's what he's good at? Pretty much the only thing he's good at.

He gives Dhaos a scowl, but he can't argue. Instead, his lips twist into a defeated grimace as he clenches his hands into tight fists and shakes his head. He's so tired, and he just watched a fight straight out of some anime, and Clover's dead, and Undyne's dead, and he doesn't care that much about Satori but she's dead too.]

There's been so much death already... when will it end?!

[dhaosu]

...Likely not soon enough.

[ Unfortunately, all that happened in front of them hardly served anyone but their enemy. They lost another life when it wasn't even necessary. ]

We cannot even properly fight back. [ ... ] At least... not now. In order to truly put a stop to this madness, we need to gather as much information as we can or speak about what we do have, and see if that will reveal a weakness in their defenses or a clue to put a halt to all of this.

[ He doubts even if it got down to "seven people" it would stop. It could just all start again, in some other kind of twisted game. It was upsetting, putting it lightly, and if he did not reaffirm what must be done, he figured he may have been yelling himself. ]
