Yeah... she was pretty hard on herself for it. Kind of felt like her monster was lashing out at her on top of that.

[ ... ]

It could be another case where someone did it for one of the prizes. Maybe they weren't willing to kill an innocent person for it, but if they had the justification that this person had already killed and they were preventing them from doing it again...

... But in the end, that's just... an excuse to kill someone.

Yeah.

I tried to ask Famine about what you told us... the person who might have acted for one of those prizes. But they weren't interested in discussing it.

War was willing to confirm that the prizes are only earned if one chooses to kill their target, and that those who are selected on Sundays and those whose monsters act for them are excluded.

[ so, things we kinda knew oocly. but kate can't read info page metatext so some of that was news to her. ]

... I wonder if we'll ever find out who killed Ichiban.

[ he hadn't asked about that distinction, actually, so. good to know, even if the answer isn't great. ]

So once again, if you choose to murder, you profit, and if you get forced into it, you get executed if you're caught and don't even get a shot at a prize if you're not.

God. If they pick your monster for their summoning crap you're really just screwed no matter what.

[ hhh. ]

I don't know if we will or not. I mean, if they're smart, they won't say anything, especially with Tomizawa-san still here.

[ she nods, tensing as she does. it's really not fair. ]

Yes... It would be foolish for them to say anything. As much as Famine tells us not to concern ourselves with a culprit who won't kill again... they would surely become a target for revenge.

[ help did i jinx tomi with that last tag ]

Yeah, definitely. Especially at this point when they've obviously been trying to protect themselves by keeping it a secret for weeks. Doesn't exactly paint them in a sympathetic light.

[ or you were foreshadowing...... votes for you ]

I wish I could give them a piece of my mind.

[ yeah i felt my ericdentity was being threatened ]

...Well, who knows, maybe they'll slip up eventually. Besides, we didn't know that was actually something we needed to be looking out for before this week. Maybe we'll pick up on some things we didn't before now that we're looking at it through a new lens.

... Yes. We'll learn from this.

Thank you for telling us what you found out.
