[Light walks into his room and approaches the podium, his eyes narrowing at the instruction on the wall. Something about the setup feels familiar, a logic puzzle he's toyed with before. The Prisoner's Dilemma, or something like it. Except here, there's no explanation beforehand of what the different outcomes will mean. If the goal is to have the most votes, the best option would always be to vote for oneself. If it's some sort of trick--exposing your vote to your partner, for instance, or punishing selfishness--the calculus changes. There's no way to know. Diluc will almost certainly vote for Light; the man's self-righteousness wouldn't let him do anything else. Would voting for Diluc get him points for teamwork, or would it just cause their votes to cancel out and fail?
Light slides his own name into the repository. A moment later, the door out to the Staywell appears, and the walls of his room light up green.

He's off for a much-needed bath. Sorry, Diluc.]
