[ he listens, calmly, and nods to the first information provided. ]
I do not blame you for lying to cover it up for him. Unfortunately, when it comes to covering for those we are close with, we are more likely to be ignored than trusted. It attracts attention. [ he only pauses for a moment ] However, I understand. If someone I cared about were in the same predicament I would have done the same.
[ and that isn't a lie. ] Rather, I did do the same. There were hints relating to a case back in my previous game that week Alphinaud Levelliuer died, and instead of pointing out such clues, I kept them to myself. Which you are already aware of the culprit being Diluc Ragnvindr.
[ that second piece of information though? surprises him. it is certainly news to him, but he pushes back that surprise aside and replies without judgement. ] If there was anyone that I'm familiar with that would seek revenge, it would be directed at Kaeya Alberich's killer. But even then I do not think you need to worry about that. I cannot speak of those possessed, but I for one would not play to the host's rules. I've always been the kind of man that fights against than obey willingly. Even at the risk of my hostage... I would prefer to find another way.
[ he listens to the question and glances to his own locket, still around his neck. gripping it a bit protectively. ] A room's key light does not go out once used, unlike the locket's. It's a powerful kind of evidence. It's the first thing I looked for regarding my companions on the chance I needed to try and cover it up. To be honest, I can only say I was lucky to have started with him. It could have been you instead.
[ MORE LIKE IM, ME ZETSU PERSONALLY, AM STUPID and completely missed the fact harrow didn't have hers as i tried to juggle notes between who had it last week and didn't have it this week and who even has one to Begin with. i'm an idiot ]
Between you and him, I figured he would be the one more likely to kill. Assuming him likely unpossessed and if it was you, perhaps by the shadow. [ he genuinely did not know she killed, he was caught off guard by that info ] I underestimated you.
[ but he holds his hand out to her, palm up. like a handshake. ]
I meant what I said earlier, regarding myself and my companions- we do not seek any sort of revenge kill. We won't come after him, nor you for that matter. You have my promise on that. I've been protecting my own so it isn't as if I don't understand. [ finally, he does look bothered despite his calm demeanor until now ] I cannot speak regarding shadow possession, but I'd rather attack at the heart of this situation than one another.
