Yes. They seemed particularly targeted compared to anything else I'd heard about previously ... individually so. Not just because of the games and locations we came from.
If I didn't know better I'd think it was specifically trying to dig at old wounds.
[ but honestly, remnants or not, she still doesn't actually put it past this place. ]
It happened. We'll deal with it and keep moving forward. I won't speak of the matters that pertained specifically to the others I was with, not without knowing that they are fine with it being shared-
[ but given tonbokiri and minako's general reactions to the others on the mingle, they probably are also clamming the fuck up.
she gestures dismissively as they make their way back, though flayn will probably note that her tone and expression have remained flat the entire time they've been walking. ]
-but I, personally, would be perfectly fine if I wasn't made to kill any more defective copies of my sister again for the rest of our stay here.
Like I said, old wounds, mixed in and remade with some newer memories just so things don't get too stale. ♪
[ no, she has an idea of what that entire excursion was about, but, haha- no. ]
Part of what allowed us to pass from room to room was, I assume, meant to be some form of getting past whatever past experiences and traumas the place decided to unpack.
[ when she says 'experiences and traumas' it sounds very much like she's quoting someone else, hm. ]
Shame that actively hostile conditions aren't exactly the best time for any form of half-assed, would-be therapy sessions.
[ the residuals are terrible at this, don't you know that doing it wrong can retraumatize someone, smh ]
... anyway, that's probably enough about that, unless you wanted more specific details on what to be wary of. It's not like it's important to ... the current matter at hand.
[ there's a lot she hasn't talked about yet, but lmao, a murder to solve... ]
Maybe we did. Maybe that was the wrong conclusion. Or maybe the killer didn't realize we came to that conclusion, and sought to be careful, either way.
It could be someone else for whom footprints would be uniquely identifying.
[but she doesn't look certain that that's it, either. unfortunately - they won't really know, will they? even if they do find the killer, the directors have told them they'll only get confirmation of someone's guilt during the week they're attempting to solve the case.]
"Too"... in addition to the culprit we are attempting to catch in the current week. I think all of our victims deserve for the truth of what happened to them to be known.

That said, I don't think we were all prepared to deal with something quite so personal in nature. Not from what we'd heard beforehand.
no subject
[well, that's worrying. flayn's voice is gentle - she doesn't want to pry, but if 45 is prepared to talk about it, she'll certainly listen.]

bad.
very bad indeed. killing family members is never a good time (remembers ogata) ...almost never a good time.]
That... [she sounds horrified] You were made to do something like that...? What purpose could that possibly have served?

...especially since, as you say, it is not really applicable to the current matter at hand.
no subject
[ it'll especially give her more time to compartmentalize, haha!!! what's lore. ]
So, what do we know?
no subject
I did not see any footprints there, though.
no subject
I wonder if that means we got ... close, last time, and this killer now was concerned enough to try to hide their own.
no subject
[her brow furrows]
But, I thought we had come to the conclusion that the footprints were... not reliable after all.
no subject
It could be someone else for whom footprints would be uniquely identifying.

Something to keep in mind going forward, I suppose. But not to focus on.

[she hesitates]
Well, it would be nice to be able to bring them to justice, too.
no subject
Vigilante justice, or will we hold them accountable for past crimes without pursuing whoever was responsible in the current week?
