[Now that he's sure Eiji's actually okay, that's enough to let Niko slip back more to his usual self. Mixed with other feelings, since he knew something like this would happen.]
'Few huge mistakes' sounds like a glaring contradiction.
Told you doing the game in the first place was the biggest 'mistake' you could make.
I didn't keep a close eye on someone, and she got killed when I didn't. And I kept finding shampoo instead of salt, with all of Jin's pranks, so by the time they were over, I forgot about it.
I know it was bad. But if there really is a reason it has to happen, then better someone who understands what they're putting on the line.
We were trying to set something up so we could hide. I got the idea of locking all the doors in a bathroom, so it would have a harder time finding us when we hid in one. But while I was locking one, it came up behind and got her.
Always something you could've done instead. Just no point claiming something like that as one of your 'few huge mistakes' when there's a lot of other things that have more responsibility.
[Like shitty luck. The doll or whatever was possessing it. Or fucking Daisuke.]

No guarantee it wouldn't have gotten her if you had been watching her. Let alone been shanked on the spot with her.
[Despite typing that, unconsciously, Niko knew he wouldn't be thinking that if it'd been him.]

Date: 2015-10-09 01:16 am (UTC)I guess I know that. I don't know how I could have prevented it.
Maybe it's just better than admitting I couldn't do anything.

It feels like shit not being able to do anything but there's no fucking point adding onto it for the sake of it.

Date: 2015-10-09 02:23 am (UTC)Just being honest.
[He would have left it at that. However, there was one other question bothering him, based on what Daisuke had said. Eiji was back but...]
If you're back, that mean everyone else who participated did?

[Provided the rest actually did come back like Daisuke said they would. Even if it didn't negate the rest.]
Anyway. Was just checking.
