Saying that casually, I quickly added.
"Oh, well, I'm sure we won't need to do much. So long as you confess and be careful not to sin, you'll be fine. Once the eleven days are up, we should be let free."
For a single instant I cast a sideways glance at Cecilia, curious how she might react to my words that were not at all confirmed, but for one reason or another, she didn't show any kind of reaction whatsoever.
I understood why she might want to keep her true identity hidden, however, so I didn't put any further thought into it.
"Uh... well, yeah, I guess I can do that. That girl's way too creepy anyway, so I'm fine with it. What do you think?"
Crossing his arms and saying that, "Matthew" turned to "Thomas", who nodded meekly in response.
"I also think she's suspicious... Um... all we have to do is say it?"
Her gaze, filled with visible concern, turned to me. Meeting it directly, I replied simply.
"That's right."
