[covenantal]

That's exactly why I wanted to gather everyone. I haven't used mine, either. We may be able to come up with a strategy now to use our powers in the trial tomorrow to get the remaining killers to reveal themselves.

[selfimmolates]

Mine isn't single use, but it's going to be pretty useless for catching culprits unless you want to drug people.

Though—I do have this.

[he takes out a small, circular piece if glass.]

[covenantal]

What is it?

[selfimmolates]

It'll take an innocent alignment off the suspect list.

[covenantal]

[ whoa, sugoi. ]

That's pretty amazing. [ somehow, he can't help a faint smile. ] Dedicated as always, Ray-san.

[symphonise]

[ Nonon applauds to echo the sugoi sentiment. It seems flippant, but it's genuine. ]

You're really raising the bar.

[selfimmolates]

I can't take too much credit. I got the idea from Zoe's glasses.

[symphonise]

I'll applaud Guitar Girl, too.

[requiemed]

I told you my name over a week ago.

[covenantal]

"Guitar Girl" ... it's cute.

[ no one asked you yu ]

[requiemed]

I don't trust your standard of cuteness.

[wow]

[symphonise]

Yeah, and how often have you heard me use anyone's name here?

Stupid bowl cut. [ She points at Yu. ] Cutie. [ She points at Ray. ] When will the gods let him be the dragon he is, so I can see? [ She points at Sieg. ]

[requiemed]

[A beat, and then:]

Cutie. I like it.

[Sorry, Ray.]

[heartmunculus]

At the end of the game, I think? Since I was in that form at the very beginning.

[heartmunculus]

You really work hard.

[selfimmolates]

... Thanks.

[heartmunculus]

Was it from Indulgence?

[requiemed]

I’ve got Art of Deduction... I was already planning to use it tomorrow, obviously.

[covenantal]

Right. Knowing we'll have a guaranteed use of the power we can count on is a relief, especially with Ruin's killer still a mystery.

[ Yu will fold his arms over his chest, thoughtful. ]

Hopelessly Devoted will be harder to find a practical use for. It may work to force a confession from a likely suspect, or someone who's withholding information to reveal what they know. But we'll have to figure out who to choose and what idea to obsess them with during the trial, without tipping off the others, unless we come up with a plan today.

[symphonise]

Do we want something like a secret code? [ She's mostly joking, and she sounds it. ] It'd be circumstantial, wouldn't it? Unless any of us has a good hunch right now.

[covenantal]

It may not be the worst idea.

[ he says it with a completely straight face. is he joking? does he mean it? who knows!

But he'll end up nodding. ]

I was wondering if you all might have a hunch, or any leads.

[symphonise]

[ She deliberates for a few moments. ]

I don't have that many leads, but if by some miracle, we end up figuring out more than one case tomorrow, I do have a key to one of the dungeon cells.

[ It's kind of awkward admitting that, but she's putting it out there. ]

[selfimmolates]

... What'd you do for Ruin to get one?

[symphonise]

She gave it to me for free.

[ A beat. ]

But if I wanted to keep it after this week, I had to lock someone up at curfew.

[selfimmolates]

Makes sense. Ruin's specialty is being able to reward people first, task later.

[but now she's deda]
