[ It's why, once there's a bit of time in between the discussion, Day tries to tug Phil aside, to somewhere with hopefully less people around and no one who'll be paying attention to them for a few moments.]
[He'll allow himself to be led without so much as a word, though his grip doesn't loosen at all as they walk. He really, really wishes they could just leave, turn Victor over to the authorities so they can make their determination of his fate, but it doesn't seem as though that's going to happen anytime soon.
He just doesn't want to be here if that decision happens to be for death.]
[ He notes how tense Phil remains the whole way, and Day can only wish he knew how to soothe the mounting anxiety and self-hatred in Phil's heart. He doesn't blame Phil for feeling this way, knowing what he does about him.
All he can do is pull Phil into a hug and let him know he's here for him. ]
