We don't have any decisive evidence to pin her for Crow's death. That much is true.
But... I think we've got something now. In the last trial, we got to understand a little more about the rules that force our killers to keep quiet. The fact that you, Taichi, and Yamato can speak freely about unsolved murders, and they can't, is a kind of evidence in itself.
They can deny it outright. Otome lied to my face about Lan Wangji when I confronted her a while ago.
But before Otome was cornered and definitively outed as the killer, I don't think any of her allies would have risked discussing the "Otome did it" theory, for fear of violating a rule. I remember Byleth clamming up right away when I tried to talk to her about the murders.
They can deny it and I think in some circumstances they must deny it. But I don't think they would approach you and deny it unprompted, since they all seem to want to be caught in some way.
Hmm... Maybe. It makes sense if they don't want to bring up the subject, since saying the wrong thing carries the risk of violating a rule. And I don't know what the exact rules that allow them to confess are. They need to be cornered, but maybe it needs to be public?

It isn't bad, is it? They have a lot that I am actually familiar with.

So... Mollymauk's back. That was you guys?

[...
yeah this is after SHENANIGANS so]
... I'd almost forgotten how annoying he is.

He is the world's worst roommate. He always has been. When we used to travel together, he was always kicking Fjord out into the hallways.

Wait, is he planning on leaving?

Then again, Winter is very crowded.

I mean, that just goes to show what an obnoxious asshole he is, but...
no subject
[Well, he feels a little bad about that. . . ]
He is quite noisy and obnoxious. The two of us would move, of course, but I am a little afraid of Iris.
no subject
I mean... do whatever you guys want, though. I don't care. [she says, caringly]
no subject
. . . Ah, Rita. . . you aren't going after Otome this week, are you?
no subject
No. And if that marquee is what people say it is, then the dead are also saying to leave those two alone.
no subject
Riku also sounded concerned about it.
