... I wonder if we'll ever know?
even if it is true, I'm not sure how much she'll be at liberty to share, either.

[ kon's gone quiet, for a while, but eventually: ]

"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you so many things, but I'm afraid of what might happen if I do"

Another from Manwol?
How many did she manage to send?

she wrote a bunch.
riku was distributing them.

i've had letters and notes prepared for weeks, in case i'm killed.
it doesn't surprise me that she did, too, or that she'd try to help us even after.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised so many people thought about that.

i have my stuff willed out, too.
so that it doesn't disappear, and that my vouchers go to someone.
shouldn't matter, now, with graduation predicted for next week.

So ideally, no one else is going to die...

Except for Denji.

[ looks into camera like he's on the office, and hopes that yamato and alphi can feel it ]

ideally.
we have to worry about a few things, but i'll do a town hall on monday for us to talk about things once we get a feel for what we're going into.

[ He can feel it. Somehow. ]

[rita perceives nothing]

That's probably a good idea. We won't have much time to waste while we're sprinting to the finish line.

[ ... it takes a bit: ]

he'll be back before you know it.

So she wrote these ahead of time?
Good to know.

Maya's told her not to blame herself. But I guess Manwol knew ahead of time that she'd do that no matter what happened. She had a pretty good sense for understanding people.

part of working in the service industry and being a thousand-something years old.
you learn people, even if she spent a long time separating herself from them on a personal level.

I received one from her as well, but I think it safe to suspect she did not anticipate I were privy to the finer workings of what is happening, for she mentioned no such thing to me.

i think that's probably for the best. it makes it feel more intentional on her part to say those things to certain people, rather than saying it to everyone she wrote letters for. if that makes sense.

Forgive me, I don't mean to imply I am cross with her for not thinking of saying so to me. If anything, I would be surprised if she had.
We had not spoken much of our circumstances, truth be told. For the most part, we only did... normal things together, I suppose.

If this is all true, then it means they probably have one more member that we don't know about, still...

Weird thought here, but... what if Manwol and that mystery member are "the straights"...?

wouldn't that have to be claude?
or
technically she had that fake thing with dimitri

I don't know anything about Dimitri's love life or orientation or whatever the hell
but he is pretty suspicious for his weapon and his behavior.

And Claude is kind of an obvious fit for the hint, with him and Manwol.
Seemed like he understood the killers' intentions before most of us clued in, too.

So they're both kinda suspicious.

dimitri had that whole thing with byleth? so I guess it could fit.
dimitri's behavior, weapon and all the winter and denji stuff points to him more now, though.

[ ... thinking, and he doesn't like it. ]

i think we should pull a winter, for the report next week.
dimitri or ichiro.
because why did ichiro's goggles pull up that denji's broken phone was the most important clue for sakyou's case? why not the weapon that killed him, or something else?

[ i'm gonna lose my shit ]

I agree with dimitri. but... it could be that it wasn't denji's phone but lux's
and she broke hers because she switched them around.

Nier's theory regarding his phone seemed fairly sound.
Ichiro's goggles would not have been able to tell if the phone truly belonged to Denji or not?

it just showed that the phone was important. it didn't say whose it actually was.
