[ Ah, that makes sense then. Which they nod at. They understand.
Though, as they watch the motion, they... quietly... look away. However, their thoughts bubble up to betray their more than obvious silence now. (It's fine. It's just a punishment for the vote.) ]

he gives the cat a little pat on the head, before chopping his hand down on the top of siffrin’s head. not too hard. but— bonk. ]
I get it. [ me dodging the vote by being out ] The system’s a buncha shite, but don’t try it again in case it gets nasty ‘bout it. If you don’t wanna vote for the culprit next time, vote for me or somethin’.
[ OW. Siffrin flinches at that and gives him an exasperated look of ??? until they frown. There's only so few people they care a lot about left, the idea of voting them out.. it's crazy.
But more crazier is the offer to vote for him. They frown deeper, brows furrow. (Why would you guys offer to be voted? Can't. Won't. Not worth the risk.) ]
‘Cause we don’t want to see people hurt for doin’ this? Told Koharu the same a few weeks back, like— don’t vote for me if I’m on a list and you’re pretty sure I didn’t do it, I’m not tryna get myself into hot water. But if I’m not on any lists, I’m a pretty safe bet. Doubt enough people are gonna vote for me either way.
[ it’s not even a … wow he’s so confident in that. he had a murder shirt that perfectly fit him and everyone went wow! well it’s not bas. ]
[ Bas... that's because everyone likes you and are smart to look at other evidence before accusing of (1) thing.
Siffrin does not say this, almost thinks it, but instead opts to shake their head. Sorry. No dice. Better to vote for someone they like the least, they suppose.
[ ..Is that how Siffrin is seen as? Stubborn, certainly. But a big heart? Koharu does seem like it.. she's such a sweet girl. Deserves none of this chaotic mess.
But Siffrin... no, they're just a coward, too afraid to vote for loved ones. For who they care about. Voting themselves is just a coward move.
Looks down as a cat comes to rub against their leg, gingerly lifting it to cradle like a baby. (..I won't. Once is enough of a hint to know not to.) ]
[ ..Again, their expression shows they don't. Quite believe that. There's probably someone, a few, who couldn't care less. Which is fair, after all Siffrin couldn't care less about voting themselves. Being at risk.
Except it sure is thoughtshare. (It'd be fine if I was.) Their self-deprecating thoughts that think so little of themselves are always apparent. Even if Siffrin looks like they don't realize it, just offering a small shrug. ]
