[ oh. ]

Rubbing alcohol. Gu Yun said the med bay smelled it this morning, and you can use that to clean ink off your hands. But that's not exactly common knowledge with some of the people here, right?

Probably not... so we can keep in mind who would be more likely to know about its uses.

So... people who aren't from Ancient whatever.

There's always the chance they learned while here, but we can figure that out at trial.

Hopefully they never learned and we luck out.

They possibly can't read.

[ listen molly can't so

maybe other people can't ]

[ ... ]

How likely is that?

[ shrugs ]

What if there's like, ten people who can't read but they haven't said anything because they're embarrassed?

They've just been aggressively bluffing this whole time.

They've had to tell people "oh yeah I got your text, but I didn't get to read it yet, what was it about?" so many times.

They send emoji replies and hope it fits the context.

People keep sending smiles to propositions, that's why everyone is so horny. Because they can't read.

Exactly. So when the other person shows up, they can't reveal they didn't know whatever the fuck was said to them. A terrible cycle.

A tragedy of misunderstanding fucks. Two illiterate people sending each other emojis and assuming it means the other one is DTF and now it's too awkward to say no. [ a beat ] Oh, I've solved the breakfast murder.
