Hm... so, basically, we'd end up concentrating on both.

[ since, yeah, there really is no way of knowing until they actually solved the murders. ]

Rather logical. Scien would approve.

[riverbeans]

Haha, thanks, I think...? Not that I really need Scien's approval.

[with a light shrug,]

Though, speaking realistically, I expect that people will have their own preferences.

[discomfort]

Oh, I am sure we will definitely see that.

[ he sounds vaguely amused. ]

At least, we know that Ashe-sama is the bathroom, and the tea shop is most likely Sidon-sama.

[riverbeans]

Ashe in the bathroom, I get, but why the tea shop for Sidon?

[discomfort]

It is where we stayed last night.

[riverbeans]

... Ah. With who else?

[discomfort]

We were with Rosamund-sama, Amalthea-sama, and Matsuno-sama. It was a pleasant night.

[riverbeans]

[nods...]

... So whatever happened last night for Sidon, it might've started there, if he didn't leave before he encountered the other party. That's what you're thinking?

[discomfort]

Maybe. We obviously don't know for certain, but we at least have a potential starting point to consider for tomorrow.

[riverbeans]

Yeah...

[a beat, and then dryly,]

Hopefully nothing's on fire.

[discomfort]

Oh...

You jinxed it, I bet.

[riverbeans]

... Well, if I did, you didn't hear it from me.

[discomfort]

The secret's safe with me.

[ ... ]

Where were you?

[riverbeans]

Theater.

[discomfort]

Was it busy?

[riverbeans]

Decently...? [thinks about it.] I'd already made plans with Shoma, which by extension included Mizuki and Shouxue. Harley dragged Sora there... and then Shu and Diluc were also around.

[discomfort]

[ hm, so no ashe... ]

Oh, good. Shouxue-sama actually did go with someone.

[riverbeans]

[he nods.]

I'm glad she wasn't alone.

[discomfort]

Mm, she's a rather stubborn one...

[riverbeans]

She is, but she's reasonable enough, so... hopefully, it'll be a pattern going forward.

[that shouxue always has a buddy...]

[discomfort]

I know it does not really mean much in terms for actual protection, but it does help if we know where everyone began the night.

[riverbeans]

Yeah.

... And besides that, it'd be lonely to know you spent your last night alone.

[discomfort]

... yes, that as well.

It is better to be around friends.

[riverbeans]

We might not be able to do anything about getting targeted just yet, but at the very least, we can choose to try and make the most of what we can.

[views like that might be why people keep telling him here that he seems like an optimist, but.]

[discomfort]

Aha, that's right! We played games last night, actually.

[ it was such a cute curfew i'm going to kill nu ]
