Yeah. I felt a bit badly, because, well. Leo might have reasonably expected me not to help cover for his murderer.
[Really awkward!]
We had a lot in common, in how we grew up, and I liked him. But there's more going on here than personal feelings. And it isn't Luxanna's fault he died.
... Considering the message the daycare left us, I think he'll understand. [ there's a pause before he sighs ] I hope he would.
[ there's a pause before-- ]
Oh. Uh. I meant to tell you earlier, it's not just Rita and I in the society. We agreed on only telling you two names at first, because of the timing, and us two were the first, but... I'm pretty sure it worked the same for Yanagiya-san's group. One person could be added every week. So. Alphinaud and Kon are part of it, too.
No, we just added them later. From the start, we could try and recruit people-- we'd put in a few names, and one would be "approved" and they'd join the following week. Alphinaud joined us one week, and then Kon the other. We stopped being able to recruit people after that.
... So I think something similar happened with Yanagiya-san's group. At the beginning, there were six people with additional activities including Rita and I. If each Dorm Head in in charge of one, then that means there was a second pair at the time. I don't know if it was the same way in that they had a say in who was picked-- I don't think so, and since we've never lost a member I can't say for sure if they can replace lost ones or if Luxanna is the only one left with hers.
Ah. So is your thinking that. . . there was another group of two like yours, and also a group of four killers to start with?
[If each Dorm Head had two?]
. . . It would make a little sense to me if, um. Byleth had been recruited, maybe? She had said some cryptic things to me about how she had wanted to protect Rupert.
[Oh, wait, hang on. He gets out two letters from his pocket.]
I found these in my locker today. They may help. What Kaoruko said. . .
No, sorry, I'm explaining this wrong. There were six people total at first, and four different activities. One for each dorm head. So two pairs, and two individuals. Rita and I to find killers, and Yanagiya-san and Rupert to be the killers. Like some kind of game. I don't know who the other individual are or what they do, we haven't found them yet.
[ anyway math aside, he'll look at the letters with a frown ]
I've gotten similar from Catra. That we're thinking too hard about things. [ ... dryly; ] Also that everyone should stop sending her letters about Adora, but I don't think that part matters so much.
. . . You, Rita, Alphinaud and Kon - at four different dorms by your choice? Or is that how it had to be?
[. . .]
Are you suggesting Rupert and Otome started out as individuals and came to work together? Or were they the other pair, and there are two individuals you haven't found?
By choice, once we got Alphinaud. We named a bunch of different dorms first, but once we had one of each except Winter, we figured it'd be easier to get more information if we got a Winter one.
[ math is killing me and im bad at explaining it; ]
Yanagiya-san and Rupert were the other pair. There's two individuals we haven't found, who we have... no idea what they do, either. So it's hard to try and guess.
... I don't know if any of them had any say in who else they recruited. We did, but we're also allowed to share with one person a week. Lux and the others can't at all.
... No, it's just our working theory for it. Even Yanagiya-san couldn't confirm anything.
[ he can be smart. maybe. sometimes. no. ]
The part about additional roles is information we learned for ourselves, but that's the only one we didn't share using the lockers. It seemed dangerous.
Maybe. I don't know that they all have to be... helpful, but there's got to be something they're doing. Maybe they can choose to protect people from that compulsion...?
. . . I wonder if that's something you do? You say you had to get approval for Alphinaud and Kon, right? So I assumed the people you pick can't be in the other groups - but also maybe not compelled?
Anyway. I am saving my vouchers I think but. It actually might be a good idea to make some conspicuous purchases for other people like those 3 voucher heals. We could use that to narrow down suspects in trial.
You mean healing people early on in the week so that if it comes up on Saturday, we'll know if them being healed or not was relevant? [ ... ] We can't heal Lux, then.
Well, I could always heal her and then obfuscate it in some way. Claim I healed one of the victims. But it's a risk, yes, which is too bad, because I want to see her healed. Maybe we could ask Riku not to discount it to 3, in her case? Then at trial, I just claim it was a 3 voucher heal, so it didn't appear.
But let's let someone else do the spending. Mandricardo has some ridiculous number. Being selfless with vouchers is terrible, actually, I want fire back.

[But that's new information. He shrugs off not telling him; that only seems smart.]
Do they do something differently than you and Rita? Also, what do you mean about Otome's group? They could tell people, just. . . only one per week?
