[He's quiet for a bit while he thinks about how to answer the question, and then, of course, he shakes his head.]
It worries me. Sometimes, it's difficult to tell what elder brother is really thinking. He will say things I don't quite understand until later, or... not at all. But I trust him. He really is amazing.
Even if there's a side of him I don't know, I trust it's honorable.
Mikazuki-sama... I can't say. I think, perhaps, there is a good reason for doing what he does. [He frowns.] If that is the case here... it will make things more difficult. If someone believes they are doing the right thing, but what they're doing seems wrong.
[...there's a nod, and part of him wants to say you can't trust people so blindly even when you love them that much, but it wouldn't do any good to have him hear that. Nobody needs Junpei's fucked up philosophy on trust, so he keeps it to himself.]
I think it's entirely possible for someone to be a good person and still do bad things because it seems like the best course of action. [...] Hizamaru. Can you keep another secret from your brother for me? I'll tell him when the time is right, but I don't want too many people knowing in case I'm wrong.
[His face grows serious, but not judgmental. He nods his head, reaching up to place his hand by his chest over his heart.]
I promise it will be a secret kept between us, Junpei-san. [He's more relieved by the "I'll tell him when the time is right," so Junpei knew exactly where to sock him.] I won't tell anyone.
[Sometimes you gently manipulate a puppysword, but it's true. He'll tell Higekiri later when he feels that he can. For now, he's debating how to frame what his next thought is.]
...I've been thinking about this for a while now. How there are people here among us who know more than what they're saying. But I think there may be people who have been told to do something different in this game that may or may not be good for us. If that's true, I'd like to find those people to make sure they won't ruin what we're working toward. I...don't really have proof yet outside of what's happened before, but that's enough reason I want to check myself.
