okok here is my messy thoughts and interpretation of why Paige did the things she did in Chapter 2.
Paige:
Does not believe the penguins would survive (Monobert executed sensei and that sensei killed aunt artic/the director, two of the MOST POWERFUL PENGUINS ON THIS ISLAND are prone to murder and be murdered. Meaning all of the penguins on that island are NOT SAFE AT ALL.)
Does not believe the epf agents would survive (for the reasons above, even if Agent is the new director they'll be killed just like aunt artic is killed in the killing game. )
Does not believe that the new world is safe (because not only does Monobert exert power over the island that they are trapped in, he also has the power to CONJURE A BOMB IN THE NEW WORLD AND WOULD LIKELY KEEP DOING IT IF HE WANTED TO)
Does believe that the puffles can be kept safe if she survives through the killing game. Ergo if she (unfortunately) has to kill everyone, by being the killer and not getting caught, she can ensure the puffles safety if she gets to the New World.
Any chance of survival for the penguins on that island are getting slimmer, even if it takes a few penguins to die on that island for each proceeding day, week, month, or even a year or more.
Meanwhile the penguins and PUFFLES on that island will die within a shorter timeframe of 2 days if no murder occurs.
The puffles are her only hope. She chooses the puffles because they have a better chance of survival than the penguins.
Also it would hurt for Agent to hear that she sort of does not believe in them to survive the killing game. Even if she in the EPF DS game did say to Agent that she wholly believes in them. (Yayyy using my knowledge of the EPF DS game (i watched a playthrough from tofudemaru) yaaay.)
