If I were a part of that group, I'd tell the others to do everything I could to keep them guessing. I'd tell some of them to act like she was trustworthy, and tell others to act like she wasn't. That way there wouldn't be any way of tying one specific behavior to the entire group.
[Leo had been pretty accurate when he'd said that if Alice was a staff member, they were doomed anyway.]
It's hard to tell if they're smart enough to be doing that, though...
[To be terribly honest, Alice is bored. As much as she would like to just straight-up shank some of the more annoying people in the Complex, she knows that would only backfire on her at this point. The real power to be had is in consolidating votes. That's why she didn't even hesitate to promise the bed to Shijima in exchange for her voting however she told her to, and why she didn't let anyone else carry Leo during the last trial. If it had come down to the wire between voting for Ciel and voting for anyone else, she absolutely would have forced Leo's vote her way to tip the scales.
Since the overwhelming majority had voted for Adam, though, there was nothing to be gained by being stubborn. That's probably the scariest thing about Alice - she's mercurial. Even if she makes up her mind about something or someone, she'll change her mind in an instant if she can get something out of it.]
Worst case scenario, we could just poison him.
[That rat poison has to get used somehow. If they can't gather enough votes, then... Ah, but Rhys has annoyed enough people that they can probably get enough votes if they make a convincing argument.]
You're right that he didn't seem to want to vote for Cici. That could be chalked up for nobody wanting to kill a child, but Cici... I think he's definitely capable of murder.
[And the fact that he didn't find anything on Adam doesn't make him look any more innocent, either.]
Don't say things like "whatever happens to me," Elizabeth. You have power. You can't just go and die without doing everything you can to use it.
