Inaba.

She's the Inquisitor. She cna check people to see who they spoke with throughout the week. That letter we received last Monday? That was her.

I was wrong about what her role was, but right about her having one.

[diesifkilled]

Oh.

[Well, that does explain a few things.]

I wish she'd been more careful, then. But I guess it can't be helped with someone like her.

[purrtagonist]

[rubs his temple, huffing a laugh as he does so]

I'm not sure what her deal is. But. . . she might not know how to be any other way.

[diesifkilled]

[He smiles, half wry and half genuine.]

She... reminds me a lot of someone from home. The kind of person who's extremely honest and extremely dishonest at the same time.

[purrtagonist]

[that. . . is a great way to describe her, actually]

She has a very difficult time trusting people. I wish I knew why.

[diesifkilled]

Maybe she's scared of getting hurt.

[purrtagonist]

I think that's part of it.

It's hard to tell, though.

[but he feels like he's getting to know her, bit by bit]

[diesifkilled]

The important thing is that she's not Mafia, though.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah. Unless she was lying to me about her role-- which, based on the detail she gave me, she wasn't-- then she isn't mafia.

[diesifkilled]

...On that subject, though- are you still suspicious of Owain?

[purrtagonist]

[raises a brow, but nods]

I am. Why?

[diesifkilled]

Well, it's just...

[He scratches his head, a little embarrassed.]

This might not be a good reason to think he's not possessed, but he reminds me a lot of the kind of people we had at the Camp.

[purrtagonist]

Hm?

[a curious cant of his head]

What does that mean?

[diesifkilled]

I mean, uh.

[How does he say this without insulting his friends and also himself.]

Well-meaning, but... not the smartest?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . AHA]

He does give off that vibe, doesn't he?

[diesifkilled]

Have you seen his swords? One of them is really poorly made and blunt, but he takes really good care of it. He told me it's a legendary weapon given to him by fate.

The point I'm trying to make is... it's entirely possible that he could be possessed, but I don't think we can suspect him purely because he says things that are weird or stupid.

[purrtagonist]

. . .

[huffs a laugh]

I think that's fair. And it's kind of what Flat-san was saying at the trial.






Rendered pointless by it being the Barghest saying it through Flat-san, but. . .

[diesifkilled]

...Yeah.

I'll still check him next week unless someone else comes up, though.

[purrtagonist]

I hope he's clear.

He seems like such a good guy, and I want to believe that about him.

[diesifkilled]

It's not like he's any less of a good guy even if he's possessed.

[purrtagonist]

That's true.

And if he is possessed, we'll have to try extra hard to free him.

I don't want anyone else to end up like Flat.
