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.

[shiftingwinds]

[hopefully next week isn't going to involve murder, then! ...though it might, if harrow is right and someone has to die every week.

there's a bit of uncertainty when she remembers her saying that, but she nods.]

...so we'll just need to be very careful next week, is all.

[dotcom]

Yeah. And how we handle this.

[ he pauses. ]

I know people will prefer to do a no vote, since it was basically universally agreed that everyone wanted Childe dead. So we'll see.

[shiftingwinds]

...the problem would be if whoever saved Childe is opposed to that.

[dotcom]

[ he bristles a little at the thought. ]

We'll be persuasive.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods, though she's - a little worried? ...it would only take one vote, but...

she can recognize that she's starting to worry in circles, so she shakes her head, trying to clear her thoughts.]

It will work out.

[dotcom]

You should probably stop hanging out in front of this room. The rest of us won't see them.

[shiftingwinds]

...you're probably right about that.

[no one's seen the mini-invest stuff every other week. logically, she knows that.]

[dotcom]

Mm. And unless they were the ones secretly stabbing me, it was fine overnight.

[ so he'll gesture for her to move away from one stressor ]

[shiftingwinds]

...

[well! she steps away from the door, then. good work takeru.]

...thanks.

[dotcom]

There's no need to thank me.

[ :/!!! ]

[shiftingwinds]

Yes, yes...

[she seems faintly amused - but then something occurs to her, and that amusement fades off.]

Oh - did anyone other than me follow up with you, after the meeting at the beginning of the week?

[she's not acknowledging wednesday's meeting]
