Of course. How many of us are experienced with puzzling out a crime? How many murders can be solved within mere hours? And yet that is exactly what we are expected to do.
Do you think this is all just some kind of test against us? Or another way to generate more nova? [both options suck.] None of us have any idea what we're doing, and everybody thinks they have better answers when we don't.
It makes you wonder what would have happened if Virid didn't put us on this path by killing Hajime. Like...maybe we wouldn't have to do this at all. Maybe it would just be stuff like those team assignments we have each week. I'd rather be doing that instead.
Yup. And that means it's way more likely they might hurt somebody again knowing we aren't guaranteed to catch them. [which is frustrating all over again.] We also don't know if anybody else will get the bright idea to do the same.
...so how do we fid this guy? We're out of the trial now, but we can still keep searching can't we?
We could, should all will it. There is naught that tells us we cannot look into matters further outside of these set trials, after all. These sorts of investigations may be outside my expertise, but gods willing, I will do whatever it takes.
[...he grins because that's the kind of answer he likes to hear.]
Then okay. We'll keep searching together. Even if we don't find anything related to this trial, if something does happen again, we can compare them. [but hmm...] Pretty sure this location's going to disappear soon though. We won't have access to space anymore if what I've heard is true.
Leaders. I asked them earlier this week. The bridge is kind of like a gateway to other places, and each week that gateway's going to be replaced to take us somewhere else. Since the places are just places the flow of nova's been disturbed, I guess it makes sense we can't stick to one place for too long.
Aye; I shall do the same. For the time being... [ Alphinaud trails off, then exhales softly. ] A clear head is needed. I admit even I am in no place to think rationally right now.

[ But they're past that point now. ]
But now... we are in more danger than ever—we have a murderer still running free among us.

[ Alphinaud looks surprised. ]
Disappear? Who told you that?

Right. For they are but memories, correct? [ They went over this. ] Confound it. We have too little time ahead of us, then.

Quite. And then there's the question if we could once again see the evidence we did have...
no subject
We can always ask the leaders if there's any way to keep that stuff around. I don't really know where it goes after the trials.
no subject
... At the morrow, then. [ please ty we are handwaving this ] They must be as weary as we; 'twould be amiss of us to demand anything of them now.
no subject
Yeah...I'm still going to check on them just to make sure they're alright though. If they feel like talking, I'm sure they will.
