I'm not sure.

... I stayed there overnight. The roses were bleeding last night.

[shiftingwinds]

[oh - there's a flicker of concern]

And this morning...?

[dotcom]

Oh.

It just felt like I was being stabbed a lot.

[shiftingwinds]

[sIR]

What...?!

[okay, no, there's deep concern now. she looks him over, clearly worried.]

Does it - still hurt? Are there any injuries...?

[dotcom]

Don't worry, I won't die from phantom pains.

[ he will just wave off her concern ]

[shiftingwinds]

...as long as that's all they are...

[dotcom]

Mmhm. It's fine.

Who was with you?

[shiftingwinds]

[she doesn't seem entirely sure that she believes him, but... she'll answer his question.]

Ming-xiong, Gu-xiong, Yuri, Meg, and Primrose. Oh, Wrath was there too.

Who was with you?

[dotcom]

Mineo, Vira, Sheila, Mollymauk, and Harrow.

[ hm... ]

That's like two-thirds of the whole group just in those two spots.

[shiftingwinds]

...was anyone watching Childe last night...

[dotcom]

Well, there really wasn't much of a point to be there for curfew. They'd just fall asleep.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, true - but they'd know where he started from and what sort of condition the room was in before he left. [...] Aaah, I wish I'd thought of that sooner.

[she'd have tried to keep an eye on him, maybe.]

[dotcom]

I think there were people there at least before curfew, Shi Qingxuan. So unless he somehow got out between then and when the doors locked, we know where he started from, at least.

[shiftingwinds]

[i mean it would not have been the first time he just walked out of jail]

Right... that's somewhere else we should check then. And hopefully it will not have a demon plant in it.

[dotcom]

... I really don't know what that could even mean.

[shiftingwinds]

Some sort of power use, perhaps - although it doesn't seem like any of the powers we've heard of so far.

[dotcom]

Maybe it's something that someone could have kept secret?

[shiftingwinds]

...I suppose that's possible... it'll be easier to tell when we get a closer look at the room tomorrow, I suppose.

[dotcom]

Mm. There's only so much speculating we can do the day beforehand.

[shiftingwinds]

...right.

[that's true. the evidence is being preserved until tomorrow.]

Well... take it easy, alright? It may be phantom pains you're feeling, but - pain is still pain.

[dotcom]

It'll be fine.

[ he looks back at the garden. ]

... at least it was only one person, I guess.

[shiftingwinds]

...it's better than more than one, yes. I was - worried, that there would be more.

[dotcom]

From what I know of everyone here, I didn't think anyone else would try something.

... there just was always the chance someone else might secretly be a mass murderer.

[shiftingwinds]

...well, I'm glad that doesn't seem to be the case.

[that would suck? she genuinely likes everyone else who's left alive. she is very tired of people she likes turning out to be killers.]

[dotcom]

It would definitely be awkward. Especially since we have at least one more week left, if we're going by floors.
