...He... had no alibi, and no one with him when he injured himself - though he said it is something he has done before, but not every week. Only the first. And...last night, he was alone with Majima - and that worries me.
[ his frown deepens, and mizu can feel something troubled in his matching emotions, too. ]
He did allow me to take pictures of all of his injuries, and... from what I could tell, he was injured by what he said he was. But... I worry that perhaps it was a cover for something else.
Mm. A coping mechanism. He punched a wall, apparently, the first week. And... this week, ran to the dungeons.
[ even taair, the nicest boy in the world, sounds doubtful. he makes a soft noise, though, and passes his phone over to mizu to examine some photos! ] Here - take a look.
[ they are offfffff gets my copy from the tag: "a single small bruise that also bled externally, (so there was a laceration) and he sure has like three or four puncture wound distributed on his upper body, one of them on his back" as well as "bloodied clothing and a skeleton hand that was still holding onto the back of his head" ]
Ha ha.... not only on a Friday, but alone on a Friday... and after he'd not done anything similar after saying that it was a common way he coped with the deaths each week.....
[ there's the emotion of "not sure whether to laugh or just like bury my face in my hands". ]
[ okay NOW he puts his face in his hands. mizu can sense the betrayal of emotion week by which i mean his emotions are mostly exhausted by this situation, stressed, sort of disbelieving and underneath that.....
agreeing entirely with his assessment akihiko might be an idiot
but he'd never say that out loud ]
Jiaoqiu is going to look at his injuries as well, and I told him he needs to tell someone besides us. He was cooperative, at least... but he also snapped at me at one point, and seemed especially frustrated. I know he can have a touch of a temper, but...
[ y'know ]
I collected bone shards from his injuries, and took photos of everything before I even touched it. [ with a small gesture at his phone. ] So...it is at least documented as it was today...
Foresight isn't the only thing he's lacking, if his injuries are truly unrelated to this week's deaths.
[mizu, on the other, will be mean without a single drop of guilt. fuck them kids.
sighs.]
Another troublesome weekend. [strip search again? many problems.] Majima, at least, was a formidable fighter. I imagine he would have inflicted some manner of injury on his opponent.
[yeah... yeah... majima really went through it between this week and the last.]
Neither do I, unfortunately. His skills are a mystery to me. [a little frustrating, but it is what it is.] Akihiko did ask if I had seen him last night, though. For what it's worth.

he trusts mizu, though, so - after a moment, he nods. ]
... Akihiko contacted me out of the blue and asked if I would help him with a variety of... very fresh injuries.
[ his emotions ripple into something more troubled, the just so smile creasing down. ]

... I see. [carefully neutral, though it's clear mizu finds this troubling.] What do you make of it?

[frowning as well, not at all happy to hear this. and to learn he was with majima... hm.]
What kind of injuries are we talking about, Taair?

On a Friday? [DOUBTFUL.] Then he is either an idiot, or a very bad liar.

I amend my statement. He's an idiot either way.

If nothing else, the boy has just made it incredibly easy for us if he did kill someone today. That ought to save us some time.
no subject
[ this is maybe the meanest thing he's ever said and he winces a little guiltily after saying it. it was not even that mean ]
We will have to be incredibly stringent tomorrow in checking to see if he fits any other sort of evidence.

Mm. [ :( ] ...To have such a difficult trial, last week, only to awaken on Thursday...I can only imagine what he was feeling.
[ his empathy swells, a constant background hum. ]
I confess I don't know much about Ali... I'm not sure what to expect. We will have to be vigilant.
