Humanity is a communal being, Mr. Gregor. Even during these situations, a sense of community may form, whether it's with the entire group as a whole or with smaller groups.
[She's pretty sure that's the only reason why people cared this much: because the people with certain integrity and opinions outnumber those who wouldn't have cared. Besides...]
If not that, then self-preservation would have encouraged them. Who'd have wanted to be named culprit erroneously, after all?

I haven't asked the senior officers to be specific as to what it meant, but there's little reason to think it'll be anything even remotely positive.
[The fact it'll be an execution is still unknown to everyone, but Sora already has a feeling this isn't going to all end neatly and orderly with Scien being given to law enforcement in two months]

Guess some of us aren't so bad at the investigating thing.
