[He should probably feel like more of a dick than he does for arguing that his life is essentially more valuable than some of the others here... But it is, isn't it? There's no one left that can do what he does. If his survival would ensure the survival of everyone else in the game eventually, that should be worth it.
That's what he's telling himself, anyway.]
They know more than me, I think. I got the vibe that they were working directly with Monika and Jacopo before everything blew up. They, uh... They had Izaya's phone. They... [He lets out a shaky breath.]
I know they think they're doing the right thing too, y'know? I think--I mean, I don't hold this against them. They really do think they're going to save people this way, so don't... They're allies, despite everything.

They thought Hermann and I killed Jacopo together. When I wouldn't cop to it, they threatened to go after Hermann instead. I, um, I couldn't have that, so... I made up a story about killing him. Jacopo, I mean. I told them I did and that I did it alone, and they recorded it on the phone. That's why they're so sure that I did it. I got them to turn the recording off after a while so we could talk without putting anyone else at risk, but... I don't know. If things get bleak at the trial, they might try to use that against me.
