[Oh. Wonderful.

But he nods, serious.]

I'll listen, when you're ready.

[ hm, where to start. ]

... it was basically like a murder mystery. Or, like a trial, I guess? There were hallucinations of other people from our games. Like Cardia, and Akechi, and... [ souji. ] But, we had to ask them questions to figure out who killed this person named Mikazuki.

[ haha. she doesn't know he's a sword. ]

[Ah. Hm.]

Mikazuki Munechika. [Yep, a sword.] Ookurikara said he was there, with them.

Yeah.

[ anyway, this is the hard part. ]

I was the one who killed him.

[Oh.]

Eh, then--were you hiding it?

[ she nods her head. ]

It was... weird. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I just went along with it? And I didn't really snap out of it until everything was over.

[ it was terrible! ]

They didn't figure out it was me, since none of them suspect the killer was one of us. And then after our time ran out... all of the injuries they have are from me. And mine are from them fighting me.

That's why you ran away, then.

[That's fair, he thinks. He probably would have, too. He looks at her, eyes big and concerned.]

I want to ask more, but--do you need anything, first? Tea, or a blanket?

[ she looks surprised for a moment, and then shakes her head. ]

It's fine. But thank you.

Alright.

[He might still come bring her some later. Attacking your own comrades... it's not an easy thing.]

Can you tell me where you broke into?

Do you know that archery area? It's a building right next to that.

... it's like, entertainment, I guess? Lots of games and stuff.

Doing that sort of thing to you is supposed to be entertainment?

[JUST LET THEM SPAR LIKE NORMAL!! CAMP!!!!]

Whoever the hell the narrator was sure seemed entertained.

[ ugh. ]

... it was some voice that was narrating what we were doing. It sounded like Akechi to me, but it might have sounded different to the others.
