[That sounds like...a terrible situation. It makes this situation worlds better, in comparison. After all, despite their failure, Ogata was a killer. There was no reason to assume he wouldn't try something eventually.]
Unfortunately...yes. You speak the truth.
[He heaves a low sigh.]
We're willing to sacrifice those who we dislike, even if we spare the nice wolves running around in sheepkin.
Towards the end, when we couldn't find a shitty solution? I picked Ogata to die, not even because I believed he'd done it, but at that point it didn't matter. Not enough people would vote for Escha-chan, and it was a better play to have one of them die instead of two.
[There's a callousness to his words, but they're not... completely genuine. More the building blocks of a fortress meant to keep everything else in. He runs a hand through his hair]
Haha, Ogata doesn't have that much of a like for most people anyways. If anything it just confirms it rather than makes it worse.
[His tone is light, but there's a trace of fondness. He understand Ogata, somehow. There was something there that rang familiar, like a bell from a cathedral he hasn't been to in years.]
I voted for Escha. Though a part of me even was surprised at myself, thinking a girl like that could commit that kind of murder, out of the blue. But facts are facts. I can understand not wanting to sacrifice two for the sake of one, anyways.
[Not that Anaido would understand, but there's almost a huff of amusement -- that instead of being frustrated or angry at the other man for throwing a lady under the bus, Sanji instead thinks of his experiences at the castle... of Pudding...
And eventually he just sighs tiredly]
Ogata was innocent. So that means Escha-chan could've done it. I've got no right to criticize your vote.
[...]
And now we've got a killer on the loose. Someone who might feel comfortable killing again for all we know.

So I don't blame Ogata if hates all of us.
