[ ah. he shrugs a bit after a second, putting a hand on her shoulder ]

I've had a few tragedies in my life, but I don't regret B taking me in. And I don't regret being who I am now. [ well. sometimes, but not for the purpose of this conversation! ] ... But same goes for you. With your dad.

[uncurtained]

[She doesn’t quite feel right contradicting that, so she gives a small nod.]

It’s... [Not okay, but.] I guess we can settle for both being sorry, then. Now we’re even.

[It’s weak, but it’s an attempt to make the conversation more lighthearted.]

[unpredicktable]

[ he nods, but then

--! ]

Maybe not for too long. I meant to ask you if you could do me a favour.

[uncurtained]

[She pauses, and then nods.]

Yeah, sure. What is it?

[unpredicktable]

Nothing too big. I just need you to buy an item at the gift shop. Doesn't have to be anything specific.

[uncurtained]

Oh. I mean, sure, I don’t mind - but can I ask why?

[unpredicktable]

Something I'm doing for the hosts.

[uncurtained]

Just curious, but... What are you getting from it? I mean - if it’s the kind of favor they offer where you get something in return.

[unpredicktable]

I'll show you when I get it.

[ mystewious ]

[uncurtained]

Oh... You can ask them for things that weren’t in the gift shop? I kind of thought it was limited to answers to questions.

[unpredicktable]

You can ask for both, yeah. Technically more expensive than just spending money, considering the time and effort required, but let's just say our gift shop selection is a little... limited, sometimes.

[uncurtained]

In that case, I’m happy to help. I’m sure it’ll be worth it, whatever you asked for.

[unpredicktable]

I'm hoping so.

[ anyway no dick is not done switching subjects on her, so-- ]

By the way, I heard from Kagachi you guys talked about me this weekend?

[uncurtained]

We talked about you?

[She frowns, looking confused for a moment, before—]

Oh. You... You’re the role we talked about?

[unpredicktable]

[ he gives a jaunty little wave. ]

And luckily, that confirms it for me on your end, too.

[uncurtained]

[After a sigh:]

Thank god. Can you imagine how awkward it would have been if you had no idea what role I was talking about? [...] Not that that’s the only reason I’m glad it’s you.

[unpredicktable]

You really would've had to scramble for an explanation then. [ dick tilts his head a bit ] You had no clue who it was at all?

[uncurtained]

Not really. I’m not sure whether he knew we’re friends, but either way, he was pretty careful about not saying who you were. Kagachi’s a good guy.

[But... Hm.]

How much did he tell you?

[unpredicktable]

I know. I trust him.

[ dick tilts his head ]

The gist of what your role does, but as for the hint... He said I would've been one of very few people who could recognize the same connection you two did during the trial. Those marks on Saturday seemed the most obvious clue.

[uncurtained]

Well... At least we can skip the questions for both of us. I am curious, though - Junpei said Kanesada kept receiving messages, did you have anything to do with those?

[Either way, though, she pauses.]

Did you get hurt, too?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick... blinks ]

Uh. No. I don't know what he told you about it, but it's not exactly that ... straightforward.

[ he shakes his head at that ]

No. Whatever the three of you had in common outside of that... It didn't affect me.

[uncurtained]

...Right. Pretend I didn't say anything, then. But - just to make sure, you are the one who's been getting some kind of clue, right? That's what he mentioned.

[She breathes in and out, then, nodding.]

Good. I hope it doesn't.

[unpredicktable]

Don't worry, I'd heard about the notes before. [ but speaking of-- he takes out a silver bookmark and a paper that reads "THE RUINS HOLD THE KEY" ] And... yeah, some kind of clue is the word for it.

[ he looks a bit worried at that ]

I'd rather it didn't either, but-- you're dealing with that okay? It must've freaked you out when you woke up.

[uncurtained]

Do you think the notes are because of another role that we haven't found yet? Unless... You have found it, I guess.

[She shakes her head, though, breathing out a sigh.]

It was less of a big deal than I thought it would be. Like, I'll admit that when I woke up I was definitely like - cool, an inexplicable bruise the day after multiple people got killed, I'm definitely going to get voted for. It seems weird to say I'm glad other people had the same issue, but...

[unpredicktable]

I haven't found them yet, but it's likely.

[ he continues after she trails off: ]

But it meant you didn't get the brunt of everyone's suspicions. I get it.
