Yes. And I told you what I did. You know how I poisoned the sink and drinks? Well, that was just a particularly caustic component of explosives that I decided it would be easier to kill people with by using it as poison. But it didn't work out, so I decided to make explosives with what was left, and you know how that went, because apparently I made them too unstable, and the test set them off, and now I'm out of explosive components, so there won't be a repeat of that incident. If I ever do manage to kill one of you, it probably won't be with a bomb, because clearly I'm not skilled enough to make one with the components I gathered.
Kellensea is weirdly calm as she says all this, bordering on monotone. It's as if something has stripped the emotions out of her after her tirade. She turns to Haruka then, who she'd ignored for a moment. The one lens is still missing from her goggles.
Haruka. You are incredibly naïve. I mean no offence in this case. Maybe not everyone here is like me. Maybe I'm the only person here like me. But someone here other than me is probably planning, waiting, scheming, and looking for a chance to kill. Further, even the thought that they could be stealing my horde, that's one of the worst things you can do to an adventurer. That is the kind of offence that gets people's bodies put on pikes by my ilk. You put those things together, and you come to a conclusion: If they go in there, they're going to try to frame me, someone who has admitted that I am going to kill someone, for their crime.
Kellensea twitches when Alexis speaks.
You want to kill too. You can't say you've never been curious how it feels to kill. Everyone has. Just because I am open that I'm almost certainly going to kill someone, you hate and fear me. But at least I would not come up with a justification beyond "it felt right", as people like you do.
She says that all in the same monotone. Then she falls silent, and blankly stares at the designs she's carved into the table.

I am the They who says it!
