It's my opinion that there isn't anything in that part of the mission that warrants being called on the carpet.
It is also my opinion that making fun of apologies is not an appropriate response to being called out, whether or not the calling-out was warranted.
I kinda regret opening my mouth now.

It has come to my attention that I have done some less-than-ethical things without even realizing them, and the purpose of this post is to clear the air a little about my actions.
On February 27th of this year, I was assigned a new partner, Kaito Hoshino, and we embarked on our first mission together. The Stu we had been assigned to was an overpowered gamer Stu who had replaced Harry Potter and was attempting to 100% speedrun canon and get the best ending. However, i have... a little bit of a problem killing Sues. Namely, every time I try, I just can't do it, and the last time I tried, my partner nearly died. Because of this, I had to transfer the actual act of killing the Stu to my partner while I distracted and charged, as I have been doing for the past two weeks.
I had taken what I believed to be the best course of action for the situation, however, recent rumblings on CanonChat have made it clear to me that what I did counts as entrapment. Namely, I forced Kaito into a situation he might not have been ready for, and did not fully inform him of my condition until right before the assassination. He seemed to take it pretty well – and by that I mean he didn't completely break down like I probably would've – and it was the only option. This blinded me to the moral implications of forcing someone else into a "kill or be killed" scenario.
I would like to formally apologize for my terrible actions and poor planning. Kaito, I am sorry that I forced you into such an awkward scenario, and I give you the freedom to prank me as many times as you want for the rest of the week. (A suggestion: I am easily startled.) As for anyone I made uncomfortable with the mission report describing my actions, I apologize for that, too. I will not shirk my duties again.
Do I understand this right? Character A and Character B are in the DMS. They both signed up to to a job: assassinating Suvians. When it comes to the point of doing said job, Character A reveals they can't, and Character B has to do said job—which they both signed up for.
And... people are taking issue with Character A "forcing" Character B... into doing the job they signed up for? If so, I am very confused.
Granted, there are some things worth questioning here, like why Character A is even in the DMS if they have a known problem with assassinations, but this doesn't sound like Serious Moral Business to me. It sounds like the Flowers being terrible managers, as usual.
Also, before anyone thinks I'm making assumptions, I did read the scene in question. Yes, Tanner could have been more forthcoming, and yes, Kaito is angry and would have preferred things to go differently—but Kaito also literally says "I've got no problem doing it myself." Further, even if it wasn't brought up, there was a way out of the situation: calling for backup. There was time for that if Kaito had said he really wasn't ready; they weren't in the middle of capturing and charging, they were discussing how best to start. I don't see that anyone was forced into anything.

-apology posts. Apparently they were wrong.))

I guess that I should always ask for second opinions on things.
It's a lot easier to explain the Internet in person.
My partner’s clearly a hick who doesn’t understand stuff more complicated than a pen.
Which is possible, knowing him.
Honestly, you’re so annoying I marvel at the fact you have friends.
Also, I think I got the hang of this Interweb thing.
