... I think it must have been someone in this group, Mizu. I can set myself aside, in this situation, for obvious reasons. [ unless i did a murder?? spooky ] But... I kept thinking about it - the flower garden was the only strange location. Every other place mentioned that day, related to that case, was at least on the island where the attack occurred. It makes logical sense that if someone wanted to cover their own injury, they would round out all the locations in the new area and hit anyone sleeping there at random, because most weeks, we tend to pile into new places.
But the garden is different. It was far from the site of the killing, and had no other connection to it - no evidence, or anything. That means that logically, the person who killed and was attempting to cover their tracks must have been there.
[ his pen lingers on the page... and after a moment, he taps the names. the first is lucas. ] I thought Lucas has been acting a bit strangely, but... I'm not sure. [ also aki was ooc out sweaty ] He does not strike me as the type to try to trick his opponent. Neither does Basilio.
[ there's a pause. his emotions do a twist of something anxious and deeply unhappy.
his pen lands on claude. ]
.... Mizu. Do you remember a few weeks ago? We discussed as a group, the four of us, that we might set traps if we awoke on a Thursday. And what did we find in the diner but... a trap.
