Her eyes are almost immediately widening despite his insistence that she not panic; she looks his way with a new scrutiny, trying to see if he has any injuries.]
Of course I didn’t know that! What happened? Who was it?
Connor is just giving her a look, almost as if insisting that she find some chill.]
I said not to panic.
[Gosh!!]
Luna and Newton had agreed to deactivate me after they were done killing Ruin. Clearly, that plan did not take off. And we have the person who protected Ruin from Luna's initial attempt to thank for it.

In the event that the bracelets fail, it would be wise to have a backup plan. Perhaps a piece of evidence we can leave behind that would be easily dismissed by the killer, that represents a code of some sort.
[Or someone who's up and at them for murder, maybe. Still, he tilts his head, considering it.]
We wouldn't know which one of us would be targeted, which could render the entire exchange moot. But if you believe it's worth a try, I volunteer my own bracelet for the exchange.
... I wasn't implying that you weren't. You're a very kind person. It's natural for you to be concerned for everyone's safety.
[But... But... He doesn't want to say that he's more scared for her safety than his own. That he would be upset if she died. So what he settles on is—]
All I want is to take additional steps to ensure your safety.

[That concern is unnecessary?]

...If you’re asking me who it is, I actually don’t know. But... I’ll tell the person who does know to give whoever it was a big thank you.

[Not from death. For all the errors that have been cropping up in his programming since his arrival, he's not quite there yet.]
... However, this means we need to have several contingency plans in place. I could be targeted again, and so could you.

That isn’t going to happen.

I know someone who's going to be awake all night. I'd say one of us could give our bracelet to them, but...

You better be okay on Friday morning or I’ll be really mad.
i hate this backtag so much
I will. [EVIDENTLY.] Please, worry more about your own safety. It would be... regrettable... if anything were to happen to you.

[She tries not to sound as frightened, as vulnerable, as she’s felt for weeks. It only works a little.]
You don’t think I’ve been scared every Thursday since I came here? It hasn’t made a difference at all.
