[she hisses.]
You don't stand in front of a bunch of people and say take me instead - you don't make people make that choice.

That's not the better option.
[she's - seething. whole body gasping with it.]
We vote for who did it. That's the only fucking thing that makes sense.
[she spits this out. and she hates it, but she won't change her mind.]
I love Maya, but don't you fucking stand here and tell me she's Jiro's age when Denji is the one getting killed for this. This place forced her to do it - someone else let Denji take the blame.
