I guess we'll know for sure how innocent I am if the Loyalty Officer ends up dead.
But you've got a few things wrong. I pushed hard for Moge-ko at first, sure, but that was because I thought she was a threat to the entire exercise. It turned out I was wrong, and after that, I didn't do much of what you could call "pushing". I just threw out a few theories. Moge-ko wasn't my only one, but she was the strongest. I turned out my best guess was still wrong. I got ahead of myself and we should've abstained last night instead. I'll admit that. That girl's blood is on my hands, more than anyone's here.
Greed didn't tell me for sure that Clay isn't a Communist, and he definitely didn't say it was because they were partners. I had no idea. What Greed told me was that Clay was probably safe because of how much he hated Communists. At the time, I brushed it off as a stupid reason, but I didn't really suspect Clay of being a Communist myself, so I didn't say anything. I didn't think anything of it. Not until this morning, and then it all clicked together. We were talking suspects, and there wasn't anybody else Greed said was probably innocent. It... had to be Clay.
Clay hates Communists. Ask him yourself, he's not shy about saying it. None of us were likely to suspect him. That's probably why they targeted him, and probably why they targeted Seryu Ubiquitous, too. Anybody they killed would lower our pool of suspects, so they aimed for people we weren't likely to suspect in the first place.
That's... what I'd like to say I was thinking, at least. I'm a civilian programmer, kid. The only dead people I'm supposed to know are my grandparents. Not murder victims. I lost my head for a while there. I didn't... exactly react well to the body yesterday, either.
