[That's not even remotely close to what Kagari was expecting to hear. Really, the others weren't stupid, and while he wasn't surprised it had been spread around that he'd managed to escape, they at least would've had an idea about the truth.
He can't tear his eyes away from Akane's. She knew. If she knew about Kasei then she had to have known about the rest of Sibyl too. She knew and yet... had she avoided meeting the same type of end that he had? Just the very thought that that could be true was enough to bring up the creeping resentment he always felt about one thing or another; he died while she got to keep her life. One more thing other people could have and he couldn't.
But really, wasn't that to be expected? If it had been a game, then somebody was bound to lose big sooner or later. It had almost been funny there right at the end, for a second.
He opens his mouth to say something, but looks away instead. Just enough to reach over to snatch a coaster and then he's nearly slamming it onto his shotglass to extinguish the flames. At least taking the shot gives him something to do besides look back at Akane for a moment.]
