[That whole execution was more than a little unsettling.
Yona's trying to think through it, but just sitting and thinking leaves her feeling unsettled (and also thinking in circles), so she's heading for the woods. Along the way she spots Claude, and -
Well, training with him went well earlier in the week. So.]
...Claude? Would you mind going to the woods with me again?
Ah, should I be careful? (A playful throwback to their last conversation. He's not the type to stay down. He has to pick himself back up and keep going. There are people who rely on him.) Actually, I was on my way.
[...wow! They really are similar. That quip gets a chuckle out of her, at least.]
Maybe you should be.
[Anyway! Onward they go. It's not too difficult to find somewhere to shoot - in fact, it's not too difficult to find that same poor tree they kept shooting earlier. This tree is probably very tired of them by now.]
...so, that was... a lot, huh?
[She asks, as she's drawing an arrow from the sash at her waist.]
(And he's up to bat! Ready to go. He just has to take aim,)
I wonder what this means for the future, though. (He waits for a breeze, a few leaves falling from the tree and... releases, letting out a sigh,) We really messed up this time.
(His arrow lands in a different place, a fair distance away from her arrow but still firmly in the trunk, next to a branch.)
I guess it will depend on why whoever killed this week killed. [She narrows her eyes, and then fires an arrow next to a branch a little bit below Claude's.] They might do it again. Or maybe to get what they needed they only had to do it once.
(Did they regain all of their memories, maybe? Or just some of them. They won't know if they won't know if they don't know who to ask.
Once more, he waits for another breeze or something to rustle in the leaves before he releases another arrow. Again, this one hits a different area but... he doesn't seem too bothered? Maybe he isn't aiming at a single target right now. Or maybe sometimes you just want to fire a few shots casually! Who knows.)
... Where do you think everyone messed up?
(HE WAS KIND OF OUT OF IT AT TRIAL, YOU KNOW?? So getting feelers out there.)
[Even if they have suspicions about who to ask, what are the chances of getting an honest answer? Admitting to remembering something is practically like confessing to murder. It's a mess.
Yona frowns, lining up another shot as she considers his question.]
...we focused too much on one person who seemed suspicious, and didn't divide ourselves up well. We should have had some of us ask questions while others looked for answers elsewhere.
We also didn't really examine the evidence until it was too late... we spent a lot of time thinking the murder weapon was one thing, but we hadn't actually found it at all. It didn't match the wounds.
When the evidence is all we have, it's important to look at all of it. If we're going to be offering up someone's name to die, we need to do it with as much evidence as possible...
... And others need to question it. We can't just blindly accept things that are presented to us. People lie and evidence can be misinterpreted.
(His next shot is... again, somewhere totally different. You know, it really is like he isn't exactly aiming for a particular spot on the tree but a different target all together.)

[...huh. Yeah, it really does seem like that, but Yona isn't quite sure what he's trying to target.
She'll just keep shooting, regardless, though she takes note of where his shots end up going so she can try to figure out if there's some sort of pattern.]
...I guess most of us don't have a lot of experience with solving murders. [...] Which would normally be a good thing, but...

Let's go.

That feels like an understatement.
(He says flatly, readying his own bow and arrow for his turn,)
Next time, let's make sure to shake everyone down.
... Or not. Honestly, I can't fault someone for wanting to go down fighting.
no subject
I can't, either. ...I think I would have done it differently, but if it was me, I wouldn't have just accepted my own death either.
