Reira stares- unable to look her in the eye, unable to speak for herself, or indeed most of the others-
And why is Tanyuu saying her name, she's certain she's not the one free of 'sin' whatever that even is, she can't be, but...
But then she remembers who went up on those pillars, and speaks-
"...Y...Yuusei." She nods, steadying herself. "Y...Yuusei just wanted to build things, here...he got to be a hummingbird, and only built metal things to try and make them move. I..." The bat takes a deep breath. "...I don't know why he was 'arrested'...but I know he didn't do anything to try and steal anything, or...Or even help anyone else who wanted to stop you."
Like the Furies. "He... ...He's the blue one, with lizard legs," she continues with a braver voice, "But a lot... A lot of the ones who came for the party, weren't going to do anything... ...We were just going to enjoy a party that was supposed to make everyone feel better..."
Which...isn't a lie. Certainly not in her mind. The party had been touted as something that was going to smooth tensions that were rising in Eden lately, a party that they were all encouraged to come to, to enjoy...it might not have quite turned out that way, but it was still a nice party.
In Reira's mind, most of them here weren't fighters.
That was why she just wanted to enjoy a party to begin with.
"...Can..."
She swallows. "...What if one of us took the punishment for them..? What if I..."
