[she can be a bad girl if she wants, dahlia!!! maya ignores her, instead looking back at anthy]

I think.... since you and I are going to be the ones leading the Reapers.... we should try to get to know them a little better. We could pair up, and --- well, let's be honest, I've gotten plenty of experience getting framed for murders.

[ahem. dahlia.]

[anthy and utena know her well enough at this point to know that, though, and they can probably guess where she's going with this]

Sooo, what if Dahlia "kills" Utena and frames me for it? That way, you and I would be "victims". It'd give us a chance to connect with the Players.
