It does seem like the traitors aren't interfering with that, at least. It would be remarkably easy to make things difficult for us... but I suppose that isn't what Hamelin wants them to do.

[For whatever reason?? He doesn't pretend to know what the traitors are doing.]

My source says that the traitors are here to keep the game going.

They must be buying time for something, is my guess.

Do we know exactly who they're working for? I've been assuming that it's Hamelin, but at this point it seems safer not to assume anything.

I believe there’s a good chance it’s Hamelin.

… [ He looks like he wants to say something but he’s looking to Huaisang for permission. ]

Alright. It shouldn't be too troublesome to talk about it now, anyway.

[ A nod. ]

Hamelin had a list in his office. The names on that list were: Edelgard, Raven-san, Lucifer-san, Wei Wuxian, Adora, and myself. One of the dead confirmed that this was a list of people who would be least likely to work for him without any form of blackmail.

The traitors didn’t need to be coerced. I’ve also been told to keep my role a secret so Hamelin doesn’t find out…

But I don’t think they’re the callous people we assume they are. Hamelin could have presented the role to them in a way that may have seemed more appealing to them than it actually is.

Interesting. I imagine his reasoning for Raven is because Raven was working for the Commandant. At the very least, he would have been aware of Raven's involvement with Hamelin, even if he didn't act on it.

[He can guess at the rest as the sort who wouldn't be willing to work for Hamelin regardless of what he threatened, but...]

I imagine he offered them something to get their cooperation, but we don't really have any way to determine what that is.
