The other option is that someone is framing him

[ which... is a lot worse. ]

But who still wanted Lord El-Melloi dead? There isn't a lot of overlap there.

It might not have to do with them actually specifically wanting him dead, they just needed to make it look like they did.

[ that's how you do a proper frame job, anyway. ]

The only other people who might be mad enough at him would be Nico and Magnus, but um... I don't think they'd. Do that?

[ hopefully?? ]

They'd still have to be okay with him dying, and... doing that to the body.

[ he's. Going to puke. any WAY ]

I really don't think it's either of them either.

Even if Zelos is an Editor, those kills are decided on by the Crafters, right? So if he's behind this one then...

[ she pauses, frowning. ]

The signs are pointing to a revenge move, right? I'm not sure if the Crafters would have told him to do this then.

It looks like one, but ... I don't know. If it is a revenge kill, why make it so obvious?

He's very bad at his job.

That, or someone is framing him.

The only person I could think of who hated him enough to frame him was El-Melloi himself, to be honest?

[ like. its weird ]

Maybe it's a... double... frame job?

[ ?????? ]

... What?

[ genuinely. what ]

They want us to think it's someone who hates Zelos framing him?

This is starting to get overly complicated, I think.

... yeah.

We probably won't actually know unless we catch the killer.

... Ignoring the part where we don't have a great track record... It's pretty much all we can try to do, huh.

... yeah.

That really all we can do.

... Same as every week. [ hm. ] We'll figure it out this time. Don't worry.

[ he later regretted those words ]

Of course we will.

[ she nudge him lightly.

she also later regretted these words. ]

Yeah. [ ... ] Thanks for coming back after the others left.

We're friends first, alliance members second.

[ and she figured he wouldn't want her getting mushy in front of an audience. ]

[ hm does he feel bad about murdering and not telling her now. maybe. a little. will he tell her? ha ha. no. ]

... Right. We are.

[ i hate this x2

she'll just smile at him. i'm not sure how to make this thread keep going. ]
