...

[She glances at where 9S' body... was? Do corpses poof after trial? Mystery.]

Yes... But no way to confirm anything, is there?

[moonlightbeast]

I was kind of hoping that, if I figured it out and asked the person, they would be able to confess.

[pura]

Yes... or they could simply kill you without the risk of witnesses. If you plan to pursue this matter, exercise caution.

[moonlightbeast]

I'm not as worried about that honestly. I have ways of keeping myself safe. Besides, it's not like I would run around telling everyone who the killer was. The trial is over, there's no point to making a spectacle of it if we're not being forced to. This is to close the case and give 9s some closure, not to extract retribution.

[pura]

... No, I suppose you're too softhearted to extract retribution for the dead. But you shouldn't underestimate someone who got away with murder once, either. If their situation is anything like Asogi-san, you don't know what could be going through their heads. Or what the Prism could force them to do next.

[moonlightbeast]

...

[...]

What's going through your head, Nogiku-san?

[pura]

Huh? I just said what's going through my head...

1/2

[moonlightbeast]

It feels like you're trying to say something without actually saying it. Nogiku-san, are you...

[Dramatic pause. This is split into 2 parts specifically for the dramatic pause.]

[moonlightbeast]

...worried about my safety, if I keep looking for answers?

[Yep.]

[pura]

[...

she closes her eyes.]

So?

[moonlightbeast]

Well...what if I stay with you on the next Thursday? Would that help?

[With her worrying, he means.]

[pura]

... Huh?

[She blinks, eyebrows furrowing together while she opens her mouth like she's about to protest.

But, then she apparently thinks better of it. She hums, thoughtfully.]

I did tell Amabuki-san to find someone to stay with, before we knew... [Hmm.] Okay, but I will decide where we spend the night. Deal?

[moonlightbeast]

Deal. You say the place, and I'll be there.

[It will not help at all if either of them get picked for murder. But he's trying to ease her worries at the very least.]

[pura]

... Alright, then it's a deal.

[AND THEN CYOAS HAPPENED and they wound up split up, anyway. RIP... Maybe, if they're not dead, there is always next week.]

[moonlightbeast]

[Okay now that I know they both survived, we can do it next week.]
