[The transformation makes her take a step back in reflex - it's hard not to view the action as a threat because of how frivolous it seemed. But that step back is all Hinata gets as Dahlia's fairly determined not to be intimidated. That's just the thing about dying, there's so few things that can hurt. Or so she thinks. She looks him dead in the eyes as he speaks.
She doesn't say what she's thinking this time, but there's a coldness in her own eyes that might as well spell it out. Oh now you're making excuses for poor, murderous Zange, are you? Is there no limit to how low one person can sink? More tactfully, she simply replies:]
If you're suggesting that the traitor has to win in order to end the game, then this cycle's already lost, isn't it? Joshua Bright is dead and Zange is the created the motive that led to his execution.
[Ah but there's obviously more to it, if they can still "make a difference" - whatever the hell that means.]

What's the reason to think otherwise?
