week 0 friday

[ hey, it's that guy who said he doesn't nag, coming to nag you... Just kidding, it doesn't look like Belph is getting scolded today. Hikage's expression is all business. (So the same as usual, really.) ]

Did you actually know that girl?

[ "that girl" being sharpay. ]

[belph looks... well, passive, mainly. a little like he's trying not to look like anything, to be honest.]

... I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you mean Sharpay? [gi-gan's not exactly a "girl", after all.] Not really. We spoke... once? Yeah, once.

[ hikage feels it. cheers to that bro. ]

Of course I mean Sharpay, [ he responds flatly. ] So you don't know why she'd be out there like that? She grabbed you like she was going to throttle you.

Maybe it has to do with my punchable face?

[a beat, because considering what hikage's like—]

Jokes aside, I've got no clue. She and I had only exchanged a couple of words before this, so it's not like she even dislikes me, probably?

Maybe I was just unlucky and she would've done the same to Akechi instead if I'd been in a slightly different position, or whatever.

Probably.

[ is that to him having a punchable face, or to akechi probably suffering the same fate, had he been in belph's shoes? trick question, it's both. ]

... I wonder what she was doing out there. I don't believe she's actually that clueless. None of them can be.

[wow, thanks.]

It does seem... kind of odd.

Either they're lying, or they're all scapegoats, and the killers can drug us somehow.

[ he crosses his arms. ]

I want to solve what happened. What are you thinking?

... I don't know yet. It's all—a lot. I mean, same goal as you, but I don't know where to start with this.

If I had to guess, she was killed with that letter opener and not the knives.

[ hope you're emotionally ready for a frank discussion of grandma murder because hikage is apparently diving right in ]

[well okay then]

Yeah? What's the reasoning?

They were carving knives, right? It'd be hard to make a puncture wound with those.

... It's a little concerning to so casually talk about what kind of wounds knives make, but yeah, you're right.

[ he pauses briefly, then exhales quietly through his nose. ]

... We have to talk about it. They're going to make us solve the murder tomorrow, aren't they? If we don't, more people will die.
