[That gets a smirk out of him; he's been remarkably restrained this whole time, but that certainly seems to have amused him.]
My thoughts exactly. As much as I want to see what happens if Mikami takes the Lady's offer, I'd greatly prefer it if he were to die, so we can stop pretending we care about solving the case. If we're forced into this, then we may as well make the most of it and remove people who could prove troublesome for the rest of us.
But I'm in agreement with you - the only thing I care about is survival as well. It's in my best interests to play along for now, so I will.
[Which ultimately brings him to the question he wanted to ask in the first place.]
As you noticed, almost everyone there didn't have any sort of alibi that could possibly prove their innocence. While such a thing may not be enough to cast suspicion off entirely, it certainly would go a long way to help, wouldn't it?
Should you find yourself in the same position again, you're free to say you spent the night in my room, or I spent it in yours.
