Aurel couldn't help but feel a knot welling up in his own stomach as he bit his own lip and clenched his trembling fist before looking to the side. While he knew he saved the other students, there was some guilt gnawed at the back of his mind as he glanced at each of the students around the Courtroom. His gaze lingered on their own expressions as he stared and looked to the side, frowning as his vision began to darken.

Her life for their lives. Aurel had never killed another person before, but it felt like he had been the one to pull the trigger to end it. It almost made him feel like he was a blackened as well, no matter how silly it may of felt. He didn't know how to feel at this moment, emotions being a melting pot of sadness, rage, relief, and so much more as comments flew around.

Somehow, Aurel managed to mentally turn it around on himself, thinking if he had just unhooked that night he could of stopped it. Maybe if he even chatted with Naomi and attempted to console her he could of stopped it. He never mad an attempt at even interacting with her and this just felt like his fault.

[color=0072bc]"Izo, Momoe, that's enough,"[/color] Aurels head turned towards the flat faced young man, who pressed his glasses up, a glint reflecting off of them as smiled. The thief could barely notice he was biting his lip, and as composed as he was making himself out to be in this situation, he noticed the Tutor's right arm was trembling a little while his other arm moved in and grabbed it.

[color=00a99d]"S-she could of just told us, y'know,"[/color] a shaky voice blurted out from the small crowd, the thief turning to his side to witness Hiroki staring down at the ground with a toothy frown and a fist clenched by his face. [color=00a99d]"Honestly, if y-you just told Hibiki, we could of gotten this whole situation resolved and we could of done some sorta' interv-"[/color]

[color=0072bc][b][i]"Enough."[/i][/b][/color]

The sternness in his voice made Aurel flinch a bit as he saw the bespectacled man turned to the other Ultimate Student and frowned, sighing as he shook his head before turning back to face Chikako. [color=0072bc]"While I don't condone her actions for obvious reasons, take into consideration her own thoughts and feelings on this all, her own perspective."[/color] He made a sidelong glance at Izo and Momoe as he approached the athletic girl he had been chained up to.

Aurel honestly didn't know what to say or think at the moment before looking directly at Snow. What were her own thoughts and feelings on this all as well? She was nearing death as well and only got lucky that Chikako and Naomi went head to head against each other, based on Ayu's deductions. Aurel chose to shift over to Snow and gave her a light tap on the shoulder, ruffling the back of his hair as he looked up at the girl.

[color=92278f]"Hey, uh Snow,"[/color] Aurel murmured, ruffling the back of his hair as he looked up at the girl with a forced smiled on his face, [color=92278f]"how are you... what do you..."[/color] This was actually kind of hard, as he looked over to Hibiki who was still talking and consoling Chikako. He didn't completely understand it since she had just murdered another one of them, but a certain set of words stood out to him as he finally found the right words to ask the white-haired lady.

[color=92278f]"How are you feeling? A-are you OK?"[/color]

Hiroki couldn't comprehend what the Tutor was doing, trying to put the Rhythm Player at ease after throwing them into such a messy gauntlet. Nothing he said would change the fact that she [i]murdered[/i] the Linguist! While Izo's words were a bit overbearing, she did have other options, but selected the wrong one, deciding that murder was the best option instead of anything else. His fist trembled in what looked like nervousness was more like anger as his nails dug into his flesh.

[color=0072bc]"She felt just as powerless as us, afraid of what Monokuma would do to us if we tried to push against him,"[/color] unlike the Thief, he couldn't follow this guys line of thinking as he glanced over to the side, noticing the Thief trying to chat up the Hair Dresser. What was he even up to at this time anyways?

[color=0072bc]"While she resorted to murder, don't forget that she's still a person. A person who was scared and afraid of this situation, a person who felt lost and also felt like she didn't have a choice. She had aspirations to create a girl gang, loved to talk about busting her older high score when with me, and even had a fondness of grapes whenever we would eat."[/color] What was he even getting at? Hiroki huffed as he turned to look at Ayu, who was motionless and weary. He could only ponder what she was feeling in this situation right now as well as she just stood there silently. Girl gang, right, probably a way to make it easier to kill someone as well due to trust.

Hiroki shifted himself close to Ayu, maintaining a solemn, doleful visage as he swapped between keeping an eye on the girl and looking at the back of Hibiki's head. [color=0072bc]"You even told me how you were going to have the best girls only party at the lab... even encouraged me to get the guys together and said you would rent it out to us as well, heh."[/color]

Hiroki couldn't see it, but Hibiki was still smiling, holding a hand out and placed a hand over the hand that was on his shoulder, tilting his head. [color=0072bc]"I'm... sorry I never took you up on your offer to play a game of DDR with you..."[/color]

[color=0072bc]"... Chikako, do you mind taking some deep breaths with me?"[/color] Hiroki could never see from the same lens that the Tutor was looking from, could never see what was in front of the young man, only behind him. He would never even see the small tears forming in the tutors eyes, never realizing the Tutors cheerful smile was a pained, remorseful one.
