That's right.

[Hm. Still not easy to tell which this is - though she has her suspicions. She's spoken with the other one a little more often than him; the way he asks to confirm her name makes her think this may be the one who shares her dormitory.]

...I just wanted to check in. That stray vote was a little worrying, even with the clarification.

I did speak with him afterwards... well, I don't believe it will happen again, but I understand his reasons regardless.

[ it probably won't happen again because he gets the feeling that if a spitevote happens it'll be pointed distinctly somewhere else ]

It must be difficult, having your trust in someone betrayed like that.

It is.

[Reyna speaks from experience. And yet-]

Still, that does not excuse breaking someone else's trust in turn. Whichever of you he meant it for, neither of you did anything to deserve that vote.

I might have done something, if it led Natsuo to suspect me somehow...

[ except it was his replica whom got voted. ]

Even if I am not entirely aware what that might have been. There was, at least, no harm done in the end, and I don't believe he did it out of malice.

Natsuo is earnest - but that same earnestness leads him to incorrect conclusions, sometimes. He also suspected Jae-ha, as I recall.

[So she doesn't actually think Ion did anything.]

At any rate, you're right - it's over and done with, now.

... Ah, hm. I think I see. Not unlike a... puppy, in that sense? A little eager, a little overbearing- a little likely to rush headlong into matters, but.

At least we all understand that he means well, I believe.

[ He is actively choosing to not engage with the now statement at current, because to him there's a clear 'for now' tacked onto it. ]
