It doesn't sit well with me. It is so stupid to decide 'it was probably the clown who killed my boyfriend' and go cut his head off with a piano wire based on nothing more than a hunch and then immediately confess and insist on dying, but - I cannot pretend I felt rationally about the matter either after three failed trials in a row and the increasing degree of threatening behavior they exhibited.
I guess it's like... noble or whatever to live with his choices? [ she doesn't entirely sound like she believes that ] I don't know. But we're probably better off with Douman gone.
Well, I was serious about the clown being super dramatic. Poison and then leaving him somewhere with just his skull bashed in seems... tame.
[ which is like, a Thing to say, but. ]
And I still can't figure out who would have done the effect if it wasn't the killer. If it was just a stupid indulgence thing, they had literally nothing to lose by admitting to it.
No, you're right to question it. It's good they're dead because they would have killed eventually, but there's still possibly some person going around poisoning someone who from what I can tell was just here to make cookies and kiss all the boys.
I don't think there's some - serial killer targeting all the most useless boys. [Though.] Or, maybe there is, but it feels like a sort of desperate solution, like deciding that every single murder was Douman.
I don't think so either. I mean, obviously Tamaki was someone else, and we're pretty sure Vlad was involved with Luca's death somehow? And that guy's dead. But more like... wow, I need to murder for reasons, let's pick an easy idiot!
Yes. Exactly. And is it really. . . coincidental that other than Grell, absolutely no women have been targets? Is someone very. . . absurdly chivalrous? Or is it just a coincidence, based on the typically masculine characteristic of a useless idiot.
This will sound awful, but - Aoi asked me earlier why she hasn't been killed yet. It's a thought that's occurred to me, too. She doesn't seem to care whether she's hurt, as long as no one else is, and she'll do nearly anything you tell her to do.
[So if someone is targeting vulnerable people, it's. . . odd.]
On the other hand, I find it ridiculously hard to bring myself to do or say anything that would hurt her, and I'm hardly a sentimental person. Maybe it's as simple as that.
I dunno. It might be because she's sort of well-liked? So it'd be like killing a puppy or something?
[ it is kind of terrible to compare aoi to a dog, but ]
It'd be easy, sure, but you'd have to face a lot more anger than I think most of our murderers have so far. Not that people haven't been upset at all, but.
[ but! well! everyone kind of went [closes eyes] that tracks at omi dying after last weekend, so ]
That's true. Maybe looking at the dead from the perspective of fighting ability is wrong. With the exception of Steven, there's no one out there swearing vengeance over any of them. Well, Omi I could have seen from his pack of bad sex decisions, but they were for the most part dead by the time he died.
[So maybe someone is just trying to be cautious about who they provoked.]
. . . I've become convinced, talking to Greed, that there's a larger picture to the motives behind these murders. And it's nagging at me, like when there's a theorem you haven't been able to solve. I don't particularly care about vengeance, I just want to see the picture.
A larger picture... besides the whole "indulgence" thing? Or linked?
[ she thinks about it, tapping the toes of her foot against the floor ]
I was talking with Greed about it, but... Those events we've both been in ended the same way, didn't they? With a kind of... test of will. Could those murders be the same thing? People being tested on how far they're willing to go for their wish?
Maybe... [ she sounds a little unsure, but no other sin really fits, either. although. ] Did you get to talk to the other group enough to get theirs? I forgot to try and get a clearer picture when Gu Yun said they learned White has a horn because a goat gave him superpowers.
[ and that's like. that's just so funny. that's so funny ]

Nice trick! That was cool how you caught him.

[She sounds like she believes that very strongly.]
But on that, we are very much in agreement.

I'm not entirely convinced they're the one who killed Omi, though.

Why do you say so?

I told Mollymauk this was my theory, but - I felt that the specific sin you were urged to kill for was greed. Ours was certainly gluttony.
