... Oh! What did they say?

Well, as far as the monster thing goes, it actually is a coin flip thing. So even if you've found your partner, if they summon your monster, only one of you should be affected.

...I mean, supposedly, I feel like no one really has that good a handle on what's going on here, so I don't think there's any guarantee we won't find out in a few weeks that they were wrong about that, but. Seems hopeful, at least.

That's... good.

... I'm not sure if good is the right word for it. But it's not as horrible as I feared.

Although... if someone is affected, and we have to dispose of them... the end result may still be the same.

It's less bad, at least, but yeah. All the more reason not to try to find your partner, honestly...

...Also, now they think the second killer — the one who killed Death — really was part of the cult.

[ she gasps. ]

You mean, someone from outside the fog came here to kill them? It wasn't one of us?

[ nods ]

That's what they think, anyway. Wish they'd figured that out a lot earlier...

... As do I. I feel terrible for bringing suspicion on Karma.

I don't think you need to. I mean, on top of the evidence making sense, he was acting suspicious as hell, and he already had a track record of being violent and unpredictable.
