...there's two of us that they've asked him to eliminate. So I'm taking care of everything so he doesn't get caught. [...but he folds his arms over his chest, pausing again.]
Out of everything I thought I'd ever do here, planning my own death wasn't on that list at all. [...] But if I'm scared of it, I won't go through with it. So...[A Shrug.]
Because you’re a good person, and you know that if this is really inevitable... it’s what you should do. And Ookurikara will be good to you, too. I know that when it comes down to it, you’ll do what’s right.
I know I will. [There's no choice in that matter, and his mind's made up.] ...we've talked about it. If you had lived, if we would have protected you in trial knowing you were corrupted. We both agreed it wouldn't have been fair, and I think perhaps that's why he told me as soon as he knew.
I'm nervous that Squall will throw off my plan completely, but at the same time I'm using distraction to my knowledge. I'm willing to bet he'll follow me, and with Ookurikara in the wings he can help me finish it off. And if you think about it, the numbers will add up. Two corrupted, and two killers. They may very well just believe Squall and I killed one another.
[...] I wish I didn't have to do this either, but I'd rather not make this more difficult for those left than I have to. We can't risk letting corruption exist just because I don't want to die, you know? Besides, it almost sounds like the other side is a little better.
I don’t know if I’d call it better.... Hisoka is still there, you know.
[she’ll answer that first as she goes over the rest. and she’ll just sigh, tucking her hair behind her ear and trying to fix it just a little bit more. it buys her some time so she can get her thoughts in order]
.... you’re smart, you know. Way smarter than him. If he didn’t have you involved in the plan, he would probably admit to it or do something a lot more easily traceable. You’re saving him, too.
...I want to believe you, and perhaps I will if this goes off perfectly. If I can save him for saving me, I'll be satisfied. [There's a quiet sigh then.] He's a good person, even if I don't fully understand him. I can see why the two of you get along though.
[...but back to the original point, because it's worth asking.] Hisoka's not bothering you still, is he?

[ . . . Not that part, apparently. she looks torn for a second before she absorbs the rest]
... that he was asked to do what Miki and Four used to do - before...
[that whole weekend fucked it all up]
... even if you know, that doesn’t make it easier, right? How you feel about it.

You’ll go through with it.

And you know I’m grateful for that.
You really do make a difference here.
