[Ayumi sighs. Even though she's had heartfelt moment practice for the past year, this is more difficult than she would absolutely like it to be. But since the alternative (taking Adachi's hand and skipping cheerfully down to the police station) is probably not going to happen... she has to make due with what she's got.]
I want you to be truly happy, Adachi. Because we spent time together as friends, and I care about you. ... Even if that was an act.
[She's not entirely sure she believes it was all an act, but since Adachi seems to, she's picking her battles for now.]
I stand here at your absolute mercy... I'm defenseless. Search me or whatever you want, there's nothing there. But I have to say: even a true idiot wouldn't do this. Even a true idiot would conclude this is a trap, and that tonight they will probably die. [She manages to keep her voice relatively stable here, and for that she feels a detached bit of pride.] If I'm as selfish as you think, would I be here? Or would I be running away right now, fleeing for the sake of my life?
