POISON GAME: sensitIV

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a pale pink, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is tinged barely yellow like a weak tea, and would be almost completely transparent but for the pulp and fibers mixed in, drifting through it.

Both have flowers floated across the surface: the first a tiny sprinkling of cherry blossom petals; the second a small, but whole, bloomed lotus. They're cute and smell nice. ]

...You'll...be...sad? If he gets hurt...?

[ ??? ]

He won't get hurt.

He might.

He won't.

If nothing else, he won't be the one to drink the poison.

How do you know? There's no way t'be certain of that.

[ WHY AM I BEING SO DEFENSIVE HERE? ]

Because it would be stupid to drink it?

Okay, first of all, of all the good things I wish you wouldn't think about him thinkin' he's smart is like, at the top of that list. Second, shit happens. There're like, waaaay too many variables in a question like 'Will Whiskers be poisoned?' t'be completely sure.

You have to drink this in order to take it.

[ gesturing to the vials ]

He wouldn't.

What if they get so many he has to? What if someone makes him? What if there's an accident? What if he's the only one in his room? What if he temporarily loses his mind?

If he is the only one in his room, then he will have sent out the antidote.

If someone were to make him, or if he lost his mind, then I suppose that could not be accounted for - however, Whisky-san respects his unitmates, and I am certain that if they were of any unsavory sort that would force him into anything then he would have most certainly gotten into an altercation with them already, and therefore would behave as though he held some distaste for them. However, such isn't the case - he is the one who protected his unitmate in the end, after all. Although he would not have been hurt, he made the call to stop the timer. 500 points are not particularly enticing enough to kill someone for - therefore, does that not indicate some fondness for his unitmate, or at least a desire to not see him be hurt or killed? It isn't as if he would be particularly quiet about it if he didn't like his unitmates, so I find that theory to be very unlikely.

If they are so undesirable that multiple units would send poisons to them, I think that they would be rather foolish not to take the antidote. Whisky-san isn't the only one who would think this way, either - Aries-san, I am sure, would scarcely stand to see his own unitmates fall, and he is the leader of the entire unit. In fact, I'm sure Aries-san would expect other units to send poison to them, or at least send poisons out, so he could not trust anyone but his own unit to protect them. In other words -

In other words, there isn't really. . . a situation that would exist wherein Whisky-san would be forced to drink the poison. I don't need to worry about it.
