Yeah. I can't help wondering if I missed something on the body.

[ was he thorough enough. was there something on the butt???? ]

95% sure this isn’t on you.

I wasn't saying it was. Just-- I didn't exactly see anything else, so it's not like I can tell if there's something we missed there.

Right.

[Skeptical. But!]

It’s a good idea for next time.

Thanks. [ ... ] Besides "someone on Shadows' team", I have no clue where to start with this one.

You think it might have been the same person?

No. The killing style is too different for that. But I do think they used the same item. Or... similar, at least.

You don't think that they could have deliberately changed it up to make it seem different?

[She nods.]

Right, the shoes.

Or, according to Giyuu, stickers. [ which. was interesting to find out. ] Maybe, but if they're only killing because they have to-- I can at least hope no one doing that would go the extra mile to take out an eye or shove a rock inside someone.

Yeah. I've been kind of wondering about that, actually... Why they're doing this. I mean, the whole rule about everyone dying if one person doesn't, but...

There's that one, but it could also be some people are starting to take the competition part of this seriously. Considering we can't exactly ask our killer-- or killers-- ourselves until we catch them, though...

Right, but what I meant is... Well, you know how we were wondering how they knew before all of us, and how they knew nobody else was going to kill that week? What if it's some kind of role? Like... a failsafe to make sure the competition doesn't end immediately.

Designated killers. [ he tilts his head a little ] I've thought about it. If there was one, I can believe our first kill was that. It also explains why the directors are so quick to dismiss us when we try to ask about that murder at all and tell us to look at the big picture.

...But you think that wasn't the case this time?

[Since he specified first kill.]

I don't think they're the same murderer. It's-- a hunch, going off what the directors have said about not paying attention to Yu's murder, and how it wasn't relevant in this one. [ there's a pause before he shrugs ] But I could be completely off base, and this is a-- bears situation.

[ god damn unrelated bears. ]

Well, if it was a role in the first one...

[She tilts her head.]

The people who killed each week were a specific role, too, but it switched every week. Like - you would get picked to kill one week, and even if you didn't get caught, they would pick a new person next week. You think it might work like that?

... Maybe. A few places had some roles like that-- that changed based on the week. It's worth considering, at least.

It would explain the whole different style thing, too.

...And make it even harder to catch them every week.

[ can something PLEASE make it EASIER ]

As if anything here would be easy.

Is it so much to ask for to have one thing be easy, though?

This is already a lot easier than what I'm used to... Which actually kind of makes it even more frustrating that we can't seem to get it right. You know?

... Yeah, I do. [ he sighs a little ] I know you said you guys didn't get any of them right on your own back there, right?

Yeah. But the whole optional confessing thing meant that even we got a few right even if we kind of tripped into it, so...

Well, we obviously can't count on confessions, so we'll just have to get better at this.

[ somehow. ]
