Yeah. I think you're right. I already thought she was the most likely, but… the others have always been willing to talk to me about this stuff, too. And Taichi - he probably wouldn’t have told Beau to ask that, if he knew.
Thing is, the evidence didn’t seem to point to her this time. It makes more sense with Otome, and honestly? Lux does seem like the kind of person who’d get more offended about an accusation if she was actually guilty for other deaths.
[ that might be his own bias showing, though. ]
But they always seem to work with partners, so... does that mean there’s someone else out there, now? We had Rupert, Byleth, Otome, and maybe Lux… but with Rupert and Byleth dead, and Lux probably not being involved this time... How many others are there?
It's enough to feel certain that it's her, but it's not enough to corner her decisively with. So she can't confess.
[rita feels a little bad for her, for that.]
I think there's one more. Looking at the damage on the scene, probably someone who can handle a sword. I mean, maybe Byleth was there before she wound up at the river, but...
So... we find more evidence. Or we focus on finding the other one and just keep an eye on Lux and Otome in the meantime. Even if we don’t actively vote for them, if we follow what Otome is saying and keep look where they’re looking, maybe we’ll be able to puzzle this thing out a little faster.
No, because somehow they always manage to erase everything like it never happened at all, except that whoever’s killed is still gone.
[ THE BITTERNESS. ]
...Don’t mention it. It’s good to talk to someone else who’s looking at it logically, you know? As upsetting as this whole thing is, we’re not going to get anywhere if all we do is react emotionally.
