Considering what happened and that you were trying to help Hodaka, I don't think anyone here could blame you for that.

[Well, maybe they could, but they'd be an asshole to do it!!]

I do agree with you - we don't have any choice here, so attempting to abstain due to morals really would only cause problems. But should it be a situation like this, one where no one was truly at fault... then I hope I'll be able to help those who need it.

[If that means voting on their behalf, then he can at least do that. Though of course, there's no way to tell for sure how likely that will be until it's happening.]

It will continue to be difficult to move forward, but we must press on until we finally have a chance to confront the Mayor ourselves.

[He still does firmly believe that, at least.]
