[the queen room is nice isn't it? she will find him seated at the table with his feet propped up, leaning back in a chair and staring at the ceiling and the walls.]
Hey. Come check it out! This is Swan's meeting room.
Yeah. Swan's a Queen, too, so I think this is where she had all of her important meetings. One of the murals on the wall is of her mom. She told me so.
Yeah. [he looks around the room again.] ...Swan brought me here the first week after Hajime, Pikachu and Virid died. But I think everyone else only ever got to saw her bedroom. That one's nice, too. You should ask if you can visit her before we leave.
[whenever they're taking audiences again, he means.]
[...he just sort of scratches the back of his head.]
I was going to tell you. And then things happened and I was never sure about sending that kind of information over there. [i.e. YOU FUCKING DIED BEFORE I COULD HAVE HIM TELL HER.] But that's right. Swan asked me to be the Queen once the competition started officially. I met with her every week, I...that's probably why she always gave me the hints.
[also swan is one of his closest friends in the realm so that helps.]
... She made a good choice. You have really been working hard, Sora-san.
[Sora is still the MVP of Team Swan, hot damn.]
What was it that you did? I heard about someone whose job was to find other roles, for example, but no one seemed to know what your job was. That, and the— ah, Pawn?
I couldn't have done it without you guys. Trust me. [even if he was running around like a wild goose he has to give credit where credit's due.
but he grins slightly.]
I know those people, too. All six of us found each other a few weeks ago, we've been trying to work together on this side. I only told the other Swans about my role otherwise.
Swan would have me pick between three items each week. I could only pick one, and they were items that could help me or help us in trial. Each item had some kind of consequence though, but some of them weren't so bad.
The leaders put in a lot of work, too. I know you and Swan were working on the numbers for us and that was a huge part of what helped us plan out the last couple of weeks.
[but he brightens considerably.] Yeah! That was mine. I knew how it worked when I went to ask Wolf about it, but I kind of had to pretend I was clueless anyway. The only catch to that one was that the first time it was used, it'd give us a false fingerprint. Otherwise it worked totally fine.
Yeah. [BIG YIKES IS RIGHT.] I was trying to do everything that I could to push people to believe Dorothy's print was false, but I couldn't say anything too obvious. I still had to protect Swan and that meant keeping the role to myself until we were sure.

Is that so...? It definitely suits her!

Have you been here with her before? I heard from the others that their leaders were able to take them to this castle before they died, but...
[A binch died before she got her unmasking. Sad.]

Um, may I ask you something? You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
no subject
Yeah, sure. What is it?
no subject
... Did you work for Swan-san as "The Queen?"

What makes you ask now?

[Please, thank the leaders. They are tired and deserve it more.]
Oh! Then, that fingerprinting kit we received. That was you?

no subject
[The censoring... Terrible.]
... Dorothy-san's fingerprint came up that day. Was that a false positive?
no subject
[a nod.] It was a false positive because it was the first print we could pull. That's how I knew Dorothy herself was innocent that time.

... If not for Fujimoto-san, Dorothy-san would have been...
[BIG YIKES.]

But we made it work.
