[ it's ok rita can live with the fact that she's a cute girl ]
I don't think it's pointless. Nine hours reeaaaally isn't enough time to solve everything... and if we look back on things, we might be able to figure it out...
[she points from paper to paper, but they're all damn near illegible? rita's note-taking penmanship is awful, i'm sorry.]
Strip check results, measurement data, information about each location, anything I noticed that might be meaningful if I can connect it to anything else...
Maybe... though it feels like we've been stuck on it all day.
[she leans back...]
I don't even know what I plan on doing with all this. Like, even if I have a eureka moment and figure out the killer... it's not going to save Manwol, and it probably won't make anything better if the real killer gets outed.
I don't see any reason to think otherwise. As for narrowing it down...

I don't suppose you've got any hunches? ... Assuming, for the sake of argument, that whoever it is, we aren't going to do anything bad to them. I know people don't want to suspect their friends if they think it'll get them hurt.
... I don't think so, either. He had some bruises... but he's always doing stupid things, so...
And I really did see him carrying an armful of logs around with a t-shirt on, so those scratches on his arms aren't really suspicious.
Like, I get why people suspect him. He acts like a braindead jerk and he can't read a room. But I don't think he's... a bad guy. And I think if he was lying, he'd absolutely suck at it.
No... I don't think so either.... [ he's been pretty nice to maya, honestly ] I kind of just think he's a dumb guy. Still, it was a little odd that his footprints came up....
I did wonder about Ms. Ichinose..... but her story checks out, with the vouchers.
She's the kind of person who looks suspicious no matter what she's doing. But yeah, I don't see any evidence strongly pointing to her.
... I kind of wonder about Sakyou. [she frowns...] He's been cagey about letting people see his injuries all this while. I think he could've gotten away with hiding something.
Yeah... I know it might just be who he is. That's what makes it hard to say for sure. Sure wish he'd make it easier to cross him off completely as a suspect, though. That idiot.
... How about Kaine? We saw her slash the hell out of that bear last week. It's not hard to picture her going ham with the rapier, and she'd definitely be strong enough to break it and stab with it.
Yeah, she's strong enough..... but I don't know. I feel like it would be more obvious.... plus, that outfit she's wearing.... it doesn't leave much to the imagination...

Oh... did you take notes?

--Yeah! Lots. I know it's pointless now, but knowing we got it totally wrong, I just... I want to figure out what we missed.

I'm having a hard time reading this....
The measurement data.... that might be a good starting point.

As for hunches, I don't know. I do wonder about Denji, but.... I don't think he'd do something like that...

I think he's just like that in general. I had to literally force painkillers down his throat because he didn't want anyone to help him.

True. She had no fresh injuries, so she'd have to have either avoided any marks, or used a healing spell. Though it's not much to go off of...
... Byleth? She can fight. Her explanation for her hands was plausible, but it doesn't really exonerate her.

... The professor....
[ hmm... ] I guess.. it's possible..
