It's incredibly cruel. Taking people who wouldn't ordinarily harm each other [ she hopes ] and throwing them into a game where they kill their companions-- and worse, we can't seem to prevent it from happening.

... But I can't forget my oath, either.

[stupidly]

Your oath?

[Somewhat curiously, but not openly prying.]

"The strength of a knight exists to protect. Their kindness serves the people."

I was raised to believe in that by someone who was practically my mother. [ And yet, she only seems to look sadder, mentioning it. ] And that's how I've always lived. Regardless of what motives they put us through, I would die before I destroyed that belief.

[stupidly]

...You're a very strong person, in that case.

[He could say more, but that's really the long and short of it - the most important part.]

[princessantly]

... I don't feel strong at all. And I've been called foolish, more than anything.

[ Not that it's enough to change her mind. ]

But thank you.

[stupidly]

I think there's some strength in being able to stand by something you believe in like that.

[Even if it is a little foolish in terms of being surrounded by murderers and all... You do you, Alisha.]

[princessantly]

[ She'll at least die not in a fire for her sins, probably. ]

Stubbornness, at any rate. [ But she's grateful. ]

[stupidly]

[PROBABLY.......

But gosh, stubbornness can be pretty good when it's about survival and all! So he just offers the faintest flicker of a smile, but then turns his attention back away toward Mikazuki.]
