Yeah. When everything was over, we found the paper in our getaway car. The other three that were there found the other paper in theirs. [ there's a pause. ] I've never really spoken to Argalia. But Chiemi knew because we told her and a few others.
There has to be. It's like we're starting to get pieces of a puzzle, but it's all the inside ones so you can't even tell where they're supposed to go. Where are our edges?
Right. We don't have the frame work, we just have snippets that don't make any sense. If Chiemi promised she wouldn't act on it, then I'd like to think she kept her promise.
...I didn't say she didn't promise. Just that we all thought it was a terrible idea. [ so it's entirely possible she chose to act. neither of them will know jan betrayed us long before we got the info. ] But I wonder if maybe it didn't matter to her.
[ ah, well. that's a little different. sorry jan, we know oocly chiemi didn't act on that info because it was past murder deadline, but icly she is tainted. ]
People use hypnosis for driving people to actions sometimes. Some people here can control fire, I can manipulate electronics, Ryuki’s eye is a disco party.
I don’t think it’s weird to consider someone running this might be hiding a power of their own, do you?
...we still don't know what everyone's team powers do. And we don't know that there aren't other powers people just aren't talking about. I hadn't wanted to really consider it, but it's starting to look like there aren't other options, are there?
Other than finding out where these higher ups are grabbing them by the neck?
… My team’s powers aren’t enough to be able to manipulate someone into murder. [ she sighs. ] You haven’t seen anything like someone acting suspicious? Someone who knows more than you think they should?
I've been looking, believe me. Someone has to have a better idea than we do. It doesn't make any sense that everyone's in the dark. But I'm not even sure what I should be looking for at this point.
“Things that seem out of place” is a pretty vague guide to begin with. Maybe I should talk to Phoenix again and see if I can’t wrangle more out of them.
[ bleeeeh. ]
But…. you’re not wrong. There’s always someone who knows more.
You might have more luck than me. I've told Phoenix everything I know, so they should be up to date as much as I am. Maybe more, depending who else has spoken to them.
[ he nods slowly. ]
...what bothers me still about yesterday is that note Will found in that bento. About what Norma's wonderball did and when it would be used.
Right. We assumed it was Chiemi’s because we had no handwriting to compare it to, but— do you think someone saw what was going on, but couldn’t intervene?
It must have been. Where else do you think it would come from? [ but he's thinking this over slowly. ] I wonder how they saw things happen. Or why they couldn't intervene at all. What was stopping them?
The rest of us are limited, so that probably makes sense. [ thinking, thinking. ] You think it's like an aftermath then and that's why they can't tell us? Because it's too suspicious otherwise.

Is this something you found about after what happened on Thursday? Neither of them were with you, so— unless someone else told them?

Doesn't that suggest that someone is trying to intervene however they can?
