Your guess is as good as mine.

If we want to be charitable, maybe it wasn't their intention, but who knows? Refusing to show themselves isn't doing them any favours.

[fishingforcompliments]

Unless they are locked in, as many of us were - but our doors have unlocked, so you would think that theirs would have as well.

[axilium]

I doubt we'll get an answer until tomorrow, at the earliest.

[fishingforcompliments]

An answer? At the trial?

[That... is a little confusing to her, honestly.]

But who would we ask?

[axilium]

Hm? There's a decent chance someone, if not them, will show up—especially since we didn't get the opportunity to investigate the crime scene today.

Though if they don't show up, then that's a bit of an answer in itself.

[fishingforcompliments]

You had people show up to yours?

[axilium]

Yep.

[fishingforcompliments]

I see. Then I suppose we shall all be preparing questions to ask tomorrow, then.

[She sighs, bringing a hand up to her forehead.]

...you are not feeling unwell, are you?

[axilium]

...

Did you sleep outside of your room?

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps. Did you?

[axilium]

Wow, you really don't like giving straight answers, do you?

[fishingforcompliments]

I cannot believe you of all people are saying that to me.

[axilium]

Well, to use your words, "perhaps".

[fishingforcompliments]

[SIGHS.]

Fine. Yes, I was. Were you?

[axilium]

Nope. In my cabin.

[fishingforcompliments]

[whew]

...good, then you are not feeling ill.

[axilium]

I'm just dandy. Where'd you sleep?

[fishingforcompliments]

...I fell asleep outdoors.

[axilium]

... Not even in one of the buildings?

[fishingforcompliments]

It was not intentional, let me assure you.

[axilium]

Did you not have curfew in your last place?

[fishingforcompliments]

We were made to sleep at a certain time, but we did not have anything that locked. I thought that we would be able to reenter the cabin before we grew tired.

[axilium]

It was the opposite for my place. Doors locked, but no forced sleep.

But now you know.

[fishingforcompliments]

...and now it seems as though we are dealing with both. Wonderful.

[axilium]

Ain't it? They're really going all out.
