Yeah. I'd managed to narrow things down, eliminate several suspects... and then I ended up focusing on the relationship between those two.
I had some other reasons for suspecting them besides what I said, but... [she scoffs.] ... If they were innocent, then it's for the best that I didn't keep going.
...yeah. I don't think it's bad, to look for connections. I know Otome-san's our doctor, but... I was a little suspicious of her last week, too.
[ ichiro glances up at the sky overhead, gaze focusing on that for a while. ] I didn't really wanna think it was one of ours. I really - I really didn't wanna think it was Rupert.
[ there's a little burn of anger in his chest, at that, though it's not at rita. ]
Yeah - and the fact that we have to sacrifice anyone is bullshit. Lila-chan, last week. Now this? [ ichiro's voice starts to pick up some volume at the end there, but he stops himself, and scrubs a hand through his hair. ]
...What do you think about the idea that the people who are killing here are doing it because they're forced to?
...yeah. That script that was going around kept saying they needed to make things more exciting.
Plus - with the way these expulsions look? [ ichiro's frown deepens, there, his fist clenching at his side. that's gonna happen tomorrow, too. ] Fucked up as it sounds, there's definitely someone pulling strings. There has to be.

she sighs.] Guess we end up sacrificing someone we'd rather not, even when we're right.

I think it's plausible, if not likely. Kaoruko was weirdly vague about her reasons. Rupert just looked kind of... lost.
And like, looking at the remaining suspects for the other perpetrator from last week... It's hard to imagine them killing because they want to.

[she'll angrily reach for that box and grab a riceball.]
There better not be an audience for this crap.

There better not be. [ just like fucking chuuoku. a little more sardonically - ] At least the stupid script said it was cancelled.

[she takes a bite out of the riceball.]
So, who the hell knows if that means the show went on after all, or if this is all just for some sicko's private viewing pleasure?

Either answer's shitty. It means we gotta find out whoever's pulling the strings and take them down.
