[ he frowns, trying to recall the roommate list-- but he hasn't talked to wei wuxian yet as far as he knows, so that's unhelpful ]

Why... did he do that? More than that, where did he get the blood from?

Last night, after I told him what happened, I think he said he was trying to make... Some kind of protective spell? You know, with blood, on the door. Totally normal stuff.

[she had A Night]

Uh, from his hand, after he bit it open out of nowhere.

[ ......... ]

No hasty judgments. [ it sounds like he is trying to convince himself. of that ] Not super hygienic, but maybe that sort of thing works for him back in his-- world? Dimension? I'm not sure what to call these yet. The point is, at least he had good intentions, if... terrible timing.

[ and everything else. ]

[She looks like she has 100% made a hasty judgment already, but.]

I got him to wash the blood off, and I’m staying with someone else for a few days, so... It’s handled, at least. Sorry, I didn’t mean to get us off track.

It's fine. It's important to know who's doing what in this place. That way, if I see another blood circle, I don't jump to... worse immediate conclusions.

[ it's said with a grin ]

He didn't do anything else, right?

[She shakes her head.]

No, it was just that. So... You were explaining the psychic thing?

[ dick mentally scrolls up the thread ]

Right. It's more something to keep in mind-- we shouldn't jump to any conclusion without proper evidence. Higekiri has experience with demons, so he assumed that. Junpei went straight to haunted and... some other stuff based on it. If we assume wrongly, we run the risk of being caught flat-footed. Like trying to solve a puzzle with the wrong pieces.

There are a lot of ways someone could've made you guys see what you saw. None of them good, but...

[Hm.]

...I get the feeling that when you say Junpei jumped to some other stuff, it's pretty loaded.

... Kinda, but... not my backstory to tell.

[ not that junpei really told him so much as hinted, but. dick's a detective. he will detect ]

Either way, the idea is not to let our own biases from previous experiences color this one too much.

...Right, sorry. I’m just worried about him.

[But that doesn’t earn her a front row seat to his baggage, and she knows it.]

You don’t have to worry about that with me, at least. The only experience I have with this kind of thing is through movies.

You and me both.

[ at the movie comment, he smirks a little ]

Weird sex stuff and being locked in a hotel... Think we're in a knock-off Stephen King movie?

Ugh. They couldn't at least have had better taste in authors?
