[Stepping out of the AB room, Kariya is barely on his feet. He's sweating. He looks almost like he's been hyperventilating and is trying not to show it. He is working very, very hard not to panic.
Because he just hit "Ally."
It was the worst - but also the only - decision he could think of. Not even because the other option meant potentially condemning another person to death. That's horrible, but if it's his hide versus a stranger's...he knows how he'd pick. What had frozen his finger over the button to betray was different and more mind-numbing: They were going to know.
It didn't matter how trustworthy they were or weren't. If the people in the other part of the room voted to keep him alive, they'd see that he'd sold them out. Then, if they were still breathing, they'd be bound to tell everyone else. (Kariya knew he certainly would in their shoes.) And then, with that reputation... he'd never walk into those rooms without someone ready to cut his throat ever again.]
Please have gone "Ally," please have gone "Ally"...
[He's not sure his brain is going to be able to take it if he screwed up. He's going to cry or puke or something. Or, for right now at least, stare down at the bracelet around his wrist like it's a ticking bomb.]
