Young Master Sakyou explained. It was Young Master Nier's ability, as Lady Byleth said.
[That link is an old conversation but I'm putting it here for posterity
He didn't really understand it when they explained, but it makes more sense now that he's seen it in action. He does still look a tiny bit troubled, because--those unaware... upset...--but verbally, he just says:]
Barring unforeseen circumstances, he will be protected.
[she's quiet for a moment as she mulls this over-- as she remembers Byleth and Crow talking about Nier's ability-- and then. . . well. some of the tension seems to seep out of her]
Good. That's. . . that's good.
[her laughter hadn't been joyous, after all]
But. . . everyone on the other side-- they don't know that, do they?
[He's not going to argue with her there. They've all been terrible in their own ways, but at least... at least catching someone with blood on their hands brings a sense of closure. Here, even if he agrees that the end result is worth it...
A flash of thoughts--the anguished faces they saw as the results were announced--before he takes a deep breath, clearing his mind.]
We will not remain here much longer. Regardless of what happens with our "records".
[He believes in their collective ability to figure out a way to jailbreak no matter what, tbh. They're all so done with this place.]
[He Perceives, but he will respectfully not comment.]
Should we see no progress in two days, I will call a meeting. We can discuss a plan.
[THE DANG BEAR HAS UNTIL MONDAY TO GET THEM OUT OF THERE before he takes matters into his own hands. With this many of them here, he has faith that they can figure something out.
He's quiet for a moment. Then--]
...I can play for you, if you wish.
[For once he's not particularly awkward about something, wow. Amazing.]

Some do. But not everyone.
[It can't be. Not with those reactions, not with votes for Dimitri, Maya, and Lalli. AND RANDOMLY LUCRETIA. WHY.]

What an awful trial.

[and then her thoughts go purposefully blank as she opens her eyes again]
Yeah. Once we fix those stupid records. . . I believe we'll be able to go back, too.
[and hopefully!! get everyone to come back here!! for the train!!]
