More or less.

[a shrug!]

And to see if anyone else happened to kill as well.

[resumed]

But you mentioned you didn't know anything about Norma until the rest of us. So I guess that's a moot point. [ ... ] She really didn't try to stop you? Did you tell her what you were trying to do?

[riverbero]

I explained why, yes. She wanted to know why I wanted to kill her.

She did fight back, but I'd have been disappointed if she didn't.

[resumed]

I would have been disappointed if she didn't either. [ nyeh. ] Why her anyway?

[riverbero]

Mm... no reason in particular? She seemed like she might listen, and like she was capable enough to make it interesting. That's all.

[he didn't have any particular reason to want chiemi dead, as opposed to 'a person who fits these criteria'.]

[resumed]

The criteria being someone somewhat logical but still able to defend themselves long enough to make it count. [ he can respect that even if he also hates it. ] It worked in that case.

...you are being surprisingly straightforward with these answers.

[riverbero]

I suppose I have no reason not to be?

[resumed]

With nothing to hide since everything will be over tomorrow? I suppose not. [ but still. ]

Still...it's appreciated. Though I still don't appreciate trying to be framed, but I'm not surprised either.

[riverbero]

Do you think that I was trying to?

[that one, he doesn't give a straight answer to.]

[resumed]

No. I think you looked at everything and found it convenient at the time when people started questioning you too much.

[ just. pointblank. ]

...why bother hiding it at all anyway? If you were just looking for answers.

[riverbero]

Well, she cursed me to be unable to say anything true, anyway. Why not?

[resumed]

[ ...he kind of laughs. ]

Interesting choice from her. But I guess we know what the wonderball was for now, even if you'd think she'd leave you capable of speaking the truth.

[riverbero]

It's more difficult to make sure it goes unnoticed than you would think. I assume she thought I would slip and say something obviously untrue, or be unable to answer a direct question like where I stayed the night.

[resumed]

[ he squints a little. ]

It still sounds like more of a help than a hinderance. [ since you can just be cursed?? to lie?? well no that probably makes sense now that he thinks about it. ] I didn't think she had time to activate it before you killed her.
