I don't want to hurt them, and it's possible they might betray us as well.

[ However. ]

...I understand that majority vote rules.

[exofractured]

[...Honestly, Phantom didn't expect even Hien to agree. But he glances at Marcus because he already figures that one's a wash.]

It's a gamble in either direction. If they betray us, we'll be in a very bad position.

[partymagician]

[ They would, but... ]

I can't in good conscience vote for it. I apologize.

[exofractured]

If you want to apologize, you can change your mind about the sweater.

[partymagician]

I still think it's best you keep it for now.

[selfconcept]

If we both betray, we get hurt and neither of us move. Miach was right—they don't have much to lose, but we do.

But I'm fine with either decision.

[exofractured]

So you think they're unlikely to betray us?

[Phantom gives a little dubious grimace, but he doesn't seem like he's going to push.]

[selfconcept]

No, they absolutely can.

[ He thinks that suggestion is fair game, because Hien also believes in it. ]

It's just that the consequences matter more to you guys than to me.
