You really don't think any of those weapons were missing?

[ Souji has to be smart, and fairly skilled with weapons, too; if he's going to go look for more information, this is a fine place to start.

They were all pretty rusty to begin with, so they probably wouldn't have been good for killing someone, but still... It's the obvious answer. ]

[GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THEM AND THANK GOD FOR VARIAN, so prepared to stab himself for the... cause.......]

If I see them, I'll ask, too. Maybe they'll be able to explain if there's a connection between the state of Gi-gan's tapestry and what happened to her.

[If that's just how they'll learn how people are going to get picked off every week, RIP in rest whoever gets the dripping tapestry on Monday. As for the question, since he sees no reason to lie:]

That's right. I believe everyone here did.

[ if hikage's tapestry is dripping he's going to sleep with his gun in one hand dammit. ]

... Is yours connected to someone else's?

[ a vague question, but he wants to ask. ]

[PERPETUAL INK TAPESTRY PARANOIA.

The question seems unexpected, though. He looks upward in thought for a second, mulling it over.]

I don't believe that it is, no... Do you think there are titles out there like that?

Yeah, I do. A lot of those fairy tale names are related to each other - heroes and villains and lovers from the same story.

Ah-- are they? I can't say I'm very familiar with many of them.

[OR LIKE, ANY. Being a ye olde from Japan sucks in the context of murder competitions and he's tired.]

Yeah... I don't really remember how I know them, but I must have read them while I was alive. I recognize almost all of them.

[ it's just another remnant of a past that keeps slipping through his fingers - not that he's even trying to grasp it anymore. ]

... I guess you don't have one of those roles, then.

Not that I know of... I'll need to look into the stories behind these titles, though.

[The whole titles thing is a big ol mystery to him in general, but he seems to be speaking the truth, at least.]

Do you, then?

I do.

[ the fact that he's willing to tell you that means he's placing a certain amount of trust in you, Souji!! ]

There's someone my "character" is meant to be with.

[HE'S HONORED.

Really though he actually is, since he understands how hard it is to reveal even a sliver of one's hand in a situation like this. His brow furrows, though.]

You don't think there's any connection between your title and another in the same way that partners are tied, do you?

[He's worried Hikage has double the death to be concerned with??]

I hope not. If there is, they didn't mention it.

Ah - that's good, at least. I think they've been mostly straightforward about that sort of thing.

[Their hosts, that is... He hopes this isn't An Exception.]

Maybe the matching titles have no meaning? But it does seem like everything they do or don't do is very deliberate.

No... I think they do. More precisely, I know they do.

[ and that is all he'll say about that!! ]

[That's more than he'd have expected, honestly. He also doesn't pry, simply nodding in return.]

Then - I hope that it doesn't cause you much trouble in the future.
