[Eventually the datapad gets shoved under his leg so he doesn't have to deal with it and he leans back on his hands. Adam has a lot to live for. There's college and his friends and Ronan (who he's finally figured out that yes, Adam's probably dating him) and his kid (who Luke still has a lot of questions about because what???) and doing his best to be more successful and transcend work he's put into living. Luke's time to live has already come and gone. It's important now to try and be better and keep people grounded.]
So it's...what, discriminating on a personal level instead of like a moral level? [Something about Adam's life versus, say, if he'd killed a man back home. He thinks Adam will understand without the elaboration.] That's the problem with twenty-three of us being shoved into a tin can floating maybe in space with no escape. [He shakes his head, once again rolling right over the subject.] Like I said, it's really only as bad as you let people believe. Anybody saw what I saw, maybe I could pass it off as a couple of fancy special effects from a movie. Yuno once asked me if I was a celebrity back home. [A light smirk. Yuno's amusing to him, really.] I could easily pretend that my secret is that I'm famous for a completely different reason than the truth.
So...guess it comes down to how likely people would believe it if they saw what you saw. Besides, let's pretend the worst case scenario is that somebody actually does snap this week again. Alice usually calls off the motives after at least one person kills somebody. I don't like those odds because we shouldn't be doing this after eight weeks...but it might be what saves everybody else's secrets.
