There's the soldier, the girl who shoots lightning at things...

[sweats]

Harukawa, Saihara, and Sigma have all been in previous killing games. Saihara has had his memories tampered with, and I'm going to assume the same for Harukawa and Sigma.

[doing his very best to smother his irritation at that answer]

Does that necessarily make them confirmed killers? Someone like Saihara might have survived simply because he was useful. We don't even know for sure that all of them did survive.

[player made a foul and stuck with it, whatev whatev]

Put yourself in the shoes of someone running this game. Why are you altering Saihara's memories?

[whoops]

To make him forget...?

I... I'm not so sure about that. He had a chance to kill me and he didn't take it. It's not like he'll have a lot of opportunities; it's fairly obvious I could take him in a fight.

[it might not be as obvious as he thinks. ~~it is true though~~]

Akechi, what are you thinking of?

[like with zero frustration, just bewildered, because you are not here with will surely

After I set the fire, I was pretty banged up from my fight with Kaiba...

[he is still pretty banged up tbh]

Despite that, I didn't want to be stuck by myself during the night, so I went to meet Saihara. We get along well enough, and as I said, I don't find him physically threatening.

[Akechi has 3 inches but only 13 pounds on Saihara. So in a way he's actually more of a twig. But he remains pretty confident on this particular subject.]

But I underestimated how exhausted I was that night. Honestly, I could barely stand. He noticed, but all he did was send me off to bed with an onigiri.

Opportunity does not make motive. Also, I said that someone who killed previously is the most likely suspect to kill tonight. The fact that no one jumped the metaphorical gun, literal fireplace, means we're dealing with people who have a shred of sense and/or decency.

I suppose so. But I think that's what they wanted — the raccoons, I mean. They had someone set aside specifically for that purpose.

You're jumping around.

And I'm not ready to agree with that. Santa was outside of the design, an addition.

Sorry. I'm usually better at keeping focus, but I have a lot on my mind.

Santa was in the tablet from the beginning, wasn't he? Even if nobody ever saw him.

He was. And?

So why wasn't he part of the design?

To set an example to a group, are you going to murder someone nearly unconnected to them? How many people are more worried about their own neck now rather than being upset that a person they never met is dead now?

Mm. Kurusu and I had wondered about that as well. The best explanation we came up with that perhaps they want a slow buildup to the "narrative" they're building here.

No, they want us at each other's throats. Everyone that got away was because we were going to be more interesting later on, not now.

Because we're the most interesting? You make it sound like it's a reality TV show or something...

What, you didn't realize? We're the next contestants on Big Brother. Cameras and microphones everywhere.

Of course, that much is obvious. The tablets alone are an army of electric eyes.

At least, they aren't missing a minute of their creation.
