[ saber can find him in the convenience store, picking up some light snacks after trial. he looks absolutely miserable. ]

...Hey, Saber.

[ that draws a bitter laugh out of him. ]

It's always rough on Saturdays here, even if we have all the right answers.

That's half the problem, isn't it? We missed one. We don't even know if they did it for an apple or not, so it could become an even better problem later.

And I don't think we know Dojima's motivation yet, either.

[ he hasn't had the courage to ask himself just yet. ]

I knew one of them would probably be free because of how the vote works, anyway, but I hoped we'd at least know who.

Yeah, I know. But it won't do any good now, unless we plan to do that to everyone that could've matched the evidence.

If we at least had a lead, I could check someone. But... there really wasn't enough to go off of, even for that, was there?

[ he nods in agreement. ]

I think all we had were the shoes and the shirts, but who knows how much of that was accurate? Especially with those cookies.

I don't even know where to start, and everything's gone now.

I don't get why they even do that. Sure, it makes sense if we figure it out, but what's the point of limiting us to nine hours in the first place?

I think they did the last time it was two, but... I don't remember why. And it's such bull, anyway. It doesn't help us or show any care for the dead.

I don't think it's supposed to. And the longer we're here, the better we know each other... the more we don't might not want to believe that certain people are involved.

[ the anger's starting to bleed out of him now, giving way to resignation. ]

That was such an awful way to kill him, though. It could happen again.

[ ...it's a grim thought, but not unfounded. maybe that's what makes it so scary. ]

If even Zhongli could be taken out like that, then I don't know what the rest of us could do for protection. But trying to leave clues... that's something anyone can do. They just need to be something we can understand.

[ thinks tiredly of waner's rock drawing ]

[ grimaces. ]

Someone suggested Morse code to me last week or so, but everyone knows about it now. And who'd remember that while someone's trying to kill them, anyway?

[personal profile] outdistanced 2025-03-09 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I think the problem is if just a few people know, then - what if something happens to them, too? Or what if the killer's one of the people who knows?

But maybe that's a risk with anything we'd try to leave behind.
