[Noctis's faith in Milla isn't misplaced, and she nods, glad for her decision to share]
It is a difficult position, but so far, none of us have been called on to carry out our other duties.
[the "Bandit disposal" duties. she still isn't sure whether Shinnosuke carried out his on Xion or not, but she supposes that is a mystery for another day]
Our leader-- and I'm afraid I can't tell you their name-- would never have been able to kill the Deputy. To kill Dr. Lecter.
We've been researching other ways to end this game this entire time. It's how I knew that there were more avenues for victory, beyond the last one standing method.
[It's a relief to hear that from Milla as well. None of them have killed then, huh...
But they would have. Stuck in that position... they wouldn't have had a choice, he suspects. Still, it didn't come to that and that's what matters.
Slowly, he breathes out, and nods.]
Yes... of course. [He...needs another drink of his alcohol to talk about this topic.] Though it seems hopeless...continuing to look for another way to win is our only option at this point.
[there's no point in thinking about that duty since no Bounty was ever called on for it, right? right!!]
The Sheriff apparently said one way to win is to ensure that the group of final survivors have no motive for killing each other. I don't think we're quite there yet, but I do believe we're getting close.
Myself and the other Bounties have forged a small alliance group with a few people without roles. We were discussing bringing you to one of our meetings. I believe every member of that group thinks your contributions would be extremely valuable.
... I see. Should that be decided upon, you know I shall gladly join you--but even if not, I shall do my best to attempt to find another solution as well.
Together, we shall find a way to end this game.
[At the very least, he feels more hopeful than he felt after that trial.]
[that's some sincere gratitude right there, although there are hints of tiredness in it. even the Lord of Spirits gets exhausted by murder after a while. but she's happy that even after all this time, even after her honesty, Barnham is still willing to be her ally]

But either way, he nods.]
Regardless, that means there are other ways. That is what truly matters.
