I know. I'm not mad at her, we just... need to be a little more careful with our accusations.

[ they may have gotten it right today but they did scapegoat twice a week.

at his other comment though, she frowns. ]

They don't mean it literally. We talked about burning down the castle a lot, and it's completely fine.

[swordflash]

[ what a lovely lady steph is, to worry like that. ]

Still . . .

[ he trails off. ]

[vigilantics]

[ she reaches over to squeeze his shoulder lightly. ]

Everyone copes differently.

[swordflash]

[ a pretty girl is squeezing his shoulder. he can't not startle a little while his lips quiver in a subdued smile. ]

I guess you're right.

[vigilantics]

[ stop ]

... you doing okay?

[swordflash]

[ he appreciates her feminine touch. ]

I'm not crying anymore, but we couldn't find Mr. Tomioka and Ms. Kocho's culprits.

[vigilantics]

... we didn't even find her body until the very end.

[ they probably missed a lot in the body investigation just because they barely had any time. ]

[swordflash]

Yeah.

[ he hunches his shoulders, recalling his horror when the final group returned with the body in tow. ]

She might not recall the details, either.

[vigilantics]

[ she sighs. ]

Sounds like it. I guess they can't remember if we don't catch the killer.

[swordflash]

We only failed to catch the monster once at the mansion . . . What's going to happen now?

[vigilantics]

Oh.

We missed killers, uh. A few times.

[swordflash]

[ oh. ]

And everyone still managed to survive?

[vigilantics]

Oh, yeah.

[ ... ]

Well. Sort of. We kind of actually had to kill people.

[swordflash]

[ oh, yikes. ]

Was your condition similar to the village's?

[vigilantics]

We had three teams, too, and everyone had titles and powers like we do here.

But we had to get each team down to three people by the end. If any team went below those numbers, we were screwed.

[swordflash]

Did the hosts say anything about winners taking all?

[vigilantics]

[ she shakes her head ]

There were some other differences with how ours was set up that’s not in place here.

[swordflash]

There was no way it was going to be that easy.

[ because of course. he swallows a sigh. ]

What if there isn't a way for everyone to win, after all?

[vigilantics]

There will be. Just because we haven't found an answer yet, doesn't mean it's not there.

[swordflash]

Our condition was to keep our numbers up . . . What if it's too late by the time we find the answer?

[vigilantics]

... we just have to be prepared for anything so it won't ever be too late.

[swordflash]

How are you going to do that?

[ whatever she does to prepare herself, he'd like to know. ]

[vigilantics]

Well...

[ hm ]

I think for now, keeping a close eye on our numbers.

[swordflash]

[ wow, just thinking about doing that makes him anxious. ]

Is that really going to help?

[vigilantics]

We need to at least make sure a team doesn't get entirely wiped out.
