...I don’t know. It sounds like it isn’t supposed to be here, whatever it is.

It's some shit luck for us to be the only ones having to deal with it.

[fightolive]

My luck's always been pretty awful... But that really shouldn't have to reflect on anyone else.

[outdistanced]

But you still stay positive...?

[ girl how ]

I don't think it's all on you, Firefly. If it's anyone's fault, it's whoever set out to ruin this whole thing from the start.

[fightolive]

I try my best. [Because what other choice is there? She can't just do nothing with a life as fleeting as she has.]

Should we go looking at suspicious places again when another island pops up? To see if we can find anything?

[outdistanced]

I was thinking about it. Zhongli and I...

[ sorry he has to pause, he's still a little choked up about the whole thing. ]

...We checked out the basement this week, but didn't really find anything. But I don't want to stop looking.

[fightolive]

[She reaches a hand out to put on his shoulder, as steadying as she can manage. But... Comforting people isn't something she has much experience with.]

It's okay. Let's... Try looking together and see if we can find anything useful or unusual.

[outdistanced]

[ that's fine. he nods, after a moment. ]

It sounds like that's the best thing we can do. Just keep looking around, and keep trying find whoever got away today.

[fightolive]

We'll do whatever we can. Maybe there's still a way to find them...

[outdistanced]

The evidence is gone, but I'm going to try to look. There was that list of people who fit the shoes, right?

[ the one that laurence was also on. he doesn't want to think about that. ]

That's as good a place to start as any.

[fightolive]

That's true... Richie, Jacopo, Mizu,... [Laurence himself], Claude, Akihiko, and Yves.

Yves had so many injuries on him, I don't think he'd be successful. Zhongli was extremely good with the spear.

[outdistanced]

You could argue that about Richie or Claude, too. [ richie with one arm, claude with a broken arm. ] I don't know if Akihiko would know how to fight something like that. Jacopo can fight, but I don't know how well. And Mizu...

[ one of their sword obsessives. obviously mizu can fight. ]

[fightolive]

That day... Jacopo had injuries on his knuckles, but it those came from punching a mirror. I have no idea if Richie knows how to fight. It might be hard to fight one handed... But I don't know how much strength you can put behind a frying pan one handed.

[Pretty decent choice if you don't want to use your own weapon. Or if you don't have a weapon at all.]

Mizu didn't take off any clothes, but that's normal for him, right?

[outdistanced]

I think if a frying pan's sturdy enough, maybe it won't matter how strong the person swinging it is? I've never had to think about it before.

...But yeah, that's normal for Mizu. Though it really shouldn't be when we're all on the evidence lists.

[fightolive]

You'd still have to swing it hard enough to... Do what it did to Zhongli. Otherwise it wouldn't be effective.

... Maybe we should've pressed him more.

[outdistanced]

Maybe.

[ he doesn't like thinking about it. ]

Honestly, I don't think he cares how much we try to press him on stuff like that. He's never bothered before, even when we were on the list last week, too.

[fightolive]

[She's thinking about how ineffective a baseball bat is as a weapon and considering it next to a frying pan.]

True... He would be strong enough. And... He also asked me exactly where I was hit near beginning of trial...

[Was it him?]

[outdistanced]

It could've been a guess. Some of you had those marks in the same spots, right?

[ ...but it could also have been. not a guess. there's no way to know, right now. ]

[fightolive]

But... We were the only ones with marks on our sides. Everybody else had it on their arms or thighs.

[outdistanced]

I don't think anyone knew that at first, though.

[ god. ]

I don't think we even figured out what the bruises came from, did we?

[fightolive]

Everybody who showed their bruise had the same one. I checked Zhongli's spear against my bruise, and that was a match.

[outdistanced]

And we thought maybe he was trying to mark his path, right?

[fightolive]

Right. It was either that, or... somebody was trying to hide their injuries.

...

I still don't understand the corndogs in people's pockets...

[outdistanced]

His weapon was hidden where he died, too... They could've taken it, done that, and backtracked to hide it, if they wanted.

[ hard to say. but that distracts him again. ]

God, that was so weird. What the hell kind of clue is that?

[fightolive]

There's no reason Zhongli would hide his own weapon. So maybe it was someone trying to cover their own injuries.

Hmm... Only two people had corndogs, right?

[outdistanced]

No, but they could have tried to stall us from finding what caused the injuries in the first place.

Just Jiaoqiu and Chrono, I think. And Zhongli himself. Neither of them were on the list for whoever fit the boots they found, though.
