The amount of time we have to not only find evidence of what happened, but analyze it - it's not nearly enough.

[...]

But it's what we have to work with. We just... have to do better this time than the last.

[housewolf]

How fast d'you think we can work?

[shiftingwinds]

Hmm... in theory, quickly. There are enough of us - we could have some of us focus on one victim, and some of us focus on the other.

The problem becomes determining which evidence belongs to which victim, once they're found - a task made more difficult if there's any sort of overlap.

[housewolf]

So we need to get through investigation fast, and then sort out evidence.

... This is gonna be hard.

[shiftingwinds]

...we have to at least attempt it.

[housewolf]

I didn't say I was givin' up.

We will.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm a bit concerned that others may need more convincing - but, well, perhaps two victims will be convincing enough.

[housewolf]

... What? In despair?

I don't think they're enjoyin' this either.

[shiftingwinds]

I'm concerned that after our failure last week, if there's too much to sift through this week or too much that doesn't make sense, people may give up.

But one would think that the fact that this has happened again at all is an indication that we can't do so.

[no! more! serial! killers!]

[housewolf]

... At least Mineo and Sasazuka seem to have experience. Even if it's not within the time limit.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods]

We may do better this time if we follow their example.

[housewolf]

... Yeah.

I've never done this before, but at least there's a lead.

[shiftingwinds]

I've investigated things before, but - under much different circumstances. [she frowns] From the sound of things, their experiences are the most similar to what we've got to deal with.

We can learn. That's one good thing about people - if given the opportunity to do so, we'll never stop learning.

[housewolf]

Yeah. It's definitely a plus. Even if I hoped it wouldn't come down to this.

[shiftingwinds]

It shouldn't have. I understand we've all come here because we have things we want, but that's no reason to...

[her voice trails off, and she sighs.]

Well, whether I agree with it or not, it's what happened. We can't change it; we can only change how we react as we move forward.

[housewolf]

... The past is unchanging, huh?

[shiftingwinds]

In my experience it has been. If it could be changed, I think there are many who would change things so they could have much easier lives.

[housewolf]

... Yeah. I think I understand that.

[shiftingwinds]

...we'll figure this out, one way or another.

[housewolf]

... Should be some ways, at least.

[shiftingwinds]

[honestly she'll just be happy if they don't scapegoat an innocent person again]

We'll see what tomorrow brings. At least we have some idea of how much time we'll have.

[housewolf]

And how quickly we'll lose it.

[shiftingwinds]

We know what the stakes are now, so it should be easier to get people moving on things.

[housewolf]

I hope you're right about that.

[shiftingwinds]

I do, too.
