[ Jin keeps a respectable distance, despite her neediness. just wags her few tails. ]
I can't exactly complain. [ suspicion on him, could've been the one executed today instead. injuries aside he's fine enough. ] Things could always be worse.
True. You could be the one executed. [...] I don't suppose you did kill Alphinaud and recently became unpossessed and are now capable of confessing you were the culprit, are you? It seems unlikely, but I thought I'd ask.
And well, I personally would have no reason to lie about it- I would have gotten what I needed to secure my hostage. There would be no reason to hide it with the deed done. [ he shakes his head. seeming unbothered that she asks- almost expected her to, really. ] I was not the one that killed him.
However, if this shadow possession mechanic works the same way as the angels in my previous game, I imagine whoever did kill him would be more than capable of admitting it if we were to find them.
[she nods, listening, so obvious malice or anything.]
Oh? They were able to admit to it, then? [hmm.] I've heard differing tales, but either way...I hope it was not you. Or I hope that if it was, you are free of the shadow now. I believe that you would have no reason to lie, unless your hand was forced.
It was a bit complicated but, the moment they were accused they were able to freely admit to what they had done. There's no guarantee that both these possessions work the same way but past experiences is all I can rely on.
[ he speaks calmly, like he's theorizing. ] I can only say it wasn't me but my word is all you have on it. Which I'm not asking you to believe me, you're free to think as you like.
I do believe Dimitri Blaiddyd was on the right track though. That whoever had done it was someone we weren't suspecting. Rin Okumura was another being sussed out and I know for a fact that the moment someone had accused him he would have given away immediately. [ and given Bucky was the other suspect, well we know what happened there. ]
[susato would beg to differ with this but harrow doesn't know so she's nodding.]
Well. I wouldn't call Rin Okumura's behavior restrained and unsuspicious, but your point is taken. Ultimately it doesn't matter unless whoever did it is compelled again. If they aren't compelled again, and they've gotten away with it, then I can only congratulate them.
[ our sweet susato, she had a permit it was fine ]
"Ahnkeen" holds some unpleasant memories for him, so for anyone outside our game it's understandable they would see his behavior throughout the week as suspicious. I cannot fault them for that. [ arms come to a careful cross, contemplating. ]
A few of those possessed that got away never resorted to killing again in my past experience but. [ a shake of his head. ] That doesn't speak for the people here and what the shadow chooses. We would have to see in the coming week. ...Though, with our Watchers, we were capable of asking if a past killer had killed again. If it gets late into a trial, it's something I can see about asking from the staff members.
[ a pause. ] Assuming it doesn't go against their contract.
When all else fails, it really doesn't hurt to ask. It should be something more manageable to answer than simply asking who had done it. [ mods smacking our hands ]
In the meantime, you being thorough in trial really does provide a lot of information so. I hope you'll continue to provide your aid in the coming trials as well. [ the moment you die we're probably f*cked ]
I don't intend to stop. [she sighs.] I do still harbor some suspicions, but don't mistake that for malice on my part. There's no reason just yet to think the culprit - whoever they are - is any more dangerous than anyone else.
I won't, after all you're free to harbor your suspicions- whatever they are. I don't intend to try and change your mind. I do hope for all our sake we're able to get more answers and information, especially regarding this shadow.
