[god. he knew this question was coming sooner or later.]

Can't answer that without probably breaking a rule somewhere.

[successives]

[...Hm.]

You got it on Sunday, right?

[axilium]

[he shrugs. what did he just say!!]

[successives]

Look, the alternative is that I'm going to think you went out of your way to ask the directors for it, and that seems way shadier.

[axilium]

[he sighs.]

No, I didn't get it on Sunday. And I didn't ask anyone for it either.

[successives]

...Did your stuffed animal have it sewn into the stuffing or something?

[She nods, though; the fact that the last question is a joke probably means she's letting it go.]

Glad you're okay, or whatever.

[axilium]

Likewise. Getting mauled by a bear or seeing someone else get mauled by a bear—on top of Yu—wasn't my idea of a fun time.

[successives]

Maybe we can all agree not to leave somebody's body in the forest next time.

[Bears...]

[axilium]

If only the next killer can be so considerate.

[successives]

Right.

[She tilts her head.]

What do you think it was, anyways? They even said that whoever it was wasn't coerced. You think it was another accident, or someone just decided to do this?

[axilium]

... I don't know. But... Evan at least made an attempt to rescue Tsurumaru. There's nothing in the evidence this time that points to this culprit doing the same—but on the other hand, it's not like we figured that out with Evan either, until he told us.

[successives]

That seemed more obviously like an accident, though. This one... It feels like someone really did try to frame at least one person, which doesn't necessarily scream accident to me, you know?

[axilium]

Yeah. Or if it was an accident, then they were enough of an opportunist to take advantage. In which case, not great.

[successives]

I might almost be impressed.

[not really.]

[axilium]

Just what we need—killers who are fast thinkers.

[successives]

Maybe we could hold an open poll about who had the smartest murder plan from everyone's last game.

[axilium]

Do we really want to be giving future killers ideas?

[successives]

...Yeah, that's fair.

[axilium]

[he sighs, flopping onto his bed.]

I dunno about you, but we were terrible at figuring out unsolved murders once the trial passed. I'm not sure if we'll ever get an answer until, like, the final week.

[successives]

We were terrible at figuring out literally any murders at all, so I have very little hope.

[axilium]

We had a pretty big miss rate too. So, no real surprise that we screwed up here.

[successives]

You know, I kind of assumed it would be easier when they let you wander around to different locations and look at the body, and all that.

[axilium]

Some of us were still terrible at this.

And as nice as having powers sounds on paper, they can make things convoluted fast, as this trial just demonstrated.

[successives]

Oh, it definitely doesn't sound nice on paper. It kind of seems like a terrible idea in the first place, in fact.

[axilium]

There were probably some people here who got jealous at first.

But honestly, yeah. Aside from the healing ones, I'm struggling to think of when they were used for anything besides murder and other questionable purposes.
