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.

[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.

[fightolive]

Jiaoqiu and Chrono were both in the flower garden... But almost everybody was there that night. Is there any significance or was it something else to throw us off the trail?

[outdistanced]

I don't think they found anything else there when they went to check, so... I don't know.

[ feels like a dead end. ]

[fightolive]

Then... we can probably let the corndogs go.

[outdistanced]

What kind of a weird clue are pocket corndogs, anyway?

[ gross. ]

[fightolive]

I think we did look into everybody's pockets... Maybe that wasn't it.
