week 4; monday (or tuesday?)

[selfimmolates]

[yo. they're... wherever, idk.

ray holds up a finger.]

First: the mystery—former—Love follower was Lightning. So, we don't need to go looking for them anymore.

[another finger.]

Two, it seems likely that Fortune's killer was from Ruin. Apparently, after the trial Ai received a carving in her stomach in the form of the words, "Missed me", which she suspects was done through Equivalent Exchange. If we assume Madoka's wound from a few weeks ago was also from the same ability, it was presumably the same person, as Hector offered to heal her. Therefore, it matches their pattern.

[and a third finger!]

Third, do any of you know someone with All Nighter? An individual with that power approached me, wanting to confirm the others' identities. They're concerned about running into them on Thursday night unaware... since you can imagine how that might go.

[That explains how they went down to 3 so quickly. It's admirable to want to stay with Love, but also... somewhat foolish to go directly against a punishment that way. At least if she switched she could have switched back at the end of the week.]

Regarding two, if the killer was in Ruin, then with all of the switching around it'll be hard to pin them down now. ... It's pretty unlikely that their killer would go after their former god, right?

If they were using Equivalent Exchange then they don't need powers to kill.

[So maybe Ruin won't die this week? Hm. Lots of conflicted feelings on that one.]

I don't. Sorry there's not much I can bring to the discussion.

[symphonise]

No. [ Her voice is uncharacteristically quiet, but she's seething. ] They'll go after Ruin like they went after Fortune. Ambition wouldn't have been so vehement otherwise. It wouldn't make sense. They're taunting us. If I'm wrong, this will be the one time I'd be happy to be wrong.

[ Her hands are clenched into fists. ]

I don't know anyone with All Nighter right now, but I was already thinking of making a small challenge to people.

[selfimmolates]

A challenge?

[symphonise]

[ As angry as she was a minute ago, it seeps away to give way to a smile. ]

Sometimes, girls just want to have a little fun. ♫ [ She shrugs daintily. ] Well, there's no telling if anyone will tell me anything truthful, but it'll be interesting to see what people are willing to tell me even if they're all lies.
