[In the seconds it takes for Ange to consider how she answers, Arakita comes up with a few theories about why she did this- all of them involving some variation of "she had to to save herself".

Really, by now, he should have expected something unbelievable, but that explanation still beyond far-fetched. Even for a supposed witch, and he knows he should have trouble believing it.

How deep did it go with this girl? His reaction, as expected, comes out quickly and loudly.]

Of course it's something fucked up like that. You're a witch? Your Yakuza aunt's trying to kill you for some money? You killed them all to save yourself? Seriously, is there anything about you that isn't weird?!

[And why does that bother him so much on a level that isn't annoyance at her?

A second passes, and the belligerent tone leaves his voice with a huff. What is he doing, even he doesn't fully feel confident in this- and that's unusual, for him.]

I haven't caught you lying yet, and you're not insane. You wouldn't fucking murder someone for nothing. But don't think I'm just forgetting about what you did, even if you ain't lying and had a good reason for it.

[Arakita never really bothered with those theoretical ethic questions that everyone seemed to love to debate about, but he thinks he's somewhere in between "murder can be justified" and "murder is always wrong".

Haven's changing him.]

And don't let me catch you lyin' either. That's when I'll regret pulling you away from that ledge.

[And that's the answer to her question that he'll stick to- for now.]
