[ Elizabeth wasn't here to entirely damn the man - but even with her interactions from Fiona... what she's seen with Rhys... this is abnormal to them. The whole justice system and the trial - it was less serious to them. How was it any different than her being unaware of technology...? Elizabeth guilts herself to be too strict - to pound at his chest and call him an insensitive monster. ]

We were all suffering from paranoia - I... I can't really defend him as I wasn't there. I truly don't recall the entire context of Machias and his choices or this Lavi boy either. I wanted to find the killer that Alice wanted us to.

[ It was just such a shitstorm, jfc. She recalls how smug he looked during the whole ordeal - how Rhys practically melted for the approval. She doesn't comment on it, but she does look a bit disappointed. ]

If a "nerd" - as so many have called him - could have done something like that, I could very well be next. [ Elizabeth admits. ] First stealing liquor, next attempted murder... who the hell knows what's going to happen this week.
