[ Naegi expected this question. Phrased in a different way, perhaps, but the essence is the same. He straightens his back somewhat, and looks Ishimaru in the eye when he responds. ]
No, Ishimaru-kun.
[ He closes his mouth shut briefly, stopping himself from continuing so he can give put some thought into what he wants to say and how exactly he should say it. ]
...You didn't kill anyone.
[ It's better if he leaves it at that, he realizes. Proccess of elimination makes the reason behind Ishimaru's death clear, and Naegi doesn't want to say it out loud. He can't just drop the bomb on someone by telling them the full story of how they died because that's just common decency. If Ishimaru wants to know the details, it's his choice but Naegi won't tell him unless he's prompted to. ]
