I believe there may be a role that allows someone to discern another person's innocence... but there are roles to kill people as well?
[ he's not surprised, given what was said at trial. it made sense that could be true for shinobu too. ]
She was more likely to tell him than me. But I don't know... I feel that it's not a guarantee. I don't think she would've let anyone take that burden from her.
I received a note the other week claiming someone we suspected from a previous trial was innocent. From asking around, it seems likely that this was from someone with such a role.
[ which seems a logical enough conclusion for him. ]
It showed up in my pocket about a week and a half ago, on Wednesday morning. [ that's week 3 ] So it does not necessarily acquit her of any of the killings after that, even for that Thursday.
[ still, it was nice to clear her of suspicion before then. ]
I appreciate that. The main thing I'm after is how to get everyone home and find a third option to all of this. Know it's easier said than done, though.

Would you confide in me, Phoenix? After what I did?
no subject
But I think there's something to be said for people who came from the same competition, I suppose.

[ there's not much of a wait, now. ]
I'll answer whatever you want. But in return... can you tell me what all you knew about Shinobu?
no subject
[ .... ]
Sure. To be honest, I'm missing a lot of details myself, but I don't mind swapping what we do know.
no subject
I'm aware that Shinobu killed Yu, but not why. I suspect she did so under some obligation to save us, due to the rules.
[ for as much as he feels about her death, he is.. steady when he speaks of her like this. ]
She never told me anything about it, before or after the fact. I don't know that she told anyone, really.
no subject
That's my feeling, too. I know it hurt her to do what she was doing. And... well. I know the burdens of being a "role holder", from a past life.
[ so dramatic. ]
Not even Giyuu?

What gives you that idea, though? [ he is curious about the innocence power ]
.... Good point. You do know her better than I do, after all.

Escha. I believe this was in relation to Yu's death, when we didn't know the killer.
no subject
You found this note the week after, or later?

[ he's curious as to how this power works ]
Do you know of any other notes in circulation?
no subject
I've heard of one other, but... it's not really my place to say who received it. I will say that I doubt the sender is the same in both cases.
[ so there's probably at least two of these roles...? or someone else out there, sending them notes. ]
I think there are multiple roles that we're meant to ask each other about and find.
no subject
[ but hmm..... ]
The sort that are information-based, I'd wager. So we can better knock our heads together.
no subject
It's difficult when we have to work under such secrecy, but I suppose that's to protect us...
[ ugh. ]
But I want to tell you all as much as I can. So just ask me what you will, whenever.
