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. ]

[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.
