What about your alibi? You were sleeping - I suppose that's well established, but you've been leaving the door open on occasion lately, I've noticed. [for god knows what reason] Did anyone walk by and see you in the morning?
I keep it open because I don't want to be killed. That way if someone knows it's closed without seeing me around the manor at the same time, then something's wrong.
[ She says it so matter-of-fact, but there's a hint of mischievousness laced with it. Gundam's settled her back into her usual self at least. ]
I can't state if anyone saw me though, because I was in my bed sleeping.
It would certainly be helpful. Who else is in your wing? -- Practically everyone. May wasn't around, but Sonia, Anastasia, or Poland might be able to attest to your innocence.
Otherwise, no one can say where you were during that time.
You'd be right, but you think I would have run into someone along the way. Even if a secret passage is involved, it's going to either be somewhere in the mansion or somewhere leading outside. I'd have to either be very sneaky or very lucky to manage to sneak out of my room to wherever it is and back without being caught by someone.
There is more we're missing, but where do we even look? We could rehash the alibis over and over, but it's in such an open space that nobody but those who were there can account for it. May could have misremembered something, someone would have to go out early enough to follow Beat, their luck is practically tenfold that she was knocked out so they could arrange the scene, but there are too many factor with loose ends...
[ She just sighs frustratedly. ] This isn't fun anymore.
Ugh, don't remind me! [ She places her hands against the sides of her head and closes her eyes. ] I just remember... seeing it and then I woke up in my room.
You only envy should come from knowing that The Stingers have been through a lot together, but we've always come out on top. The autopsy doesn't make that any different. I'm still going to win for us and we're going to be more famous than any other band in history!
I'm still going to play the game how I want to play it and how I've been playing it. Just because the situation's changed doesn't mean my own games haven't.
You really think a rockstar like myself wants "murder" involved with mentioning their name? Ruining the Stingers reputation is the last thing on my mind.

[Still, she supposes it makes... some sense.]
Do you snore?
[Relevant question.]

Someone as perfect as me doesn't snore. It'd be embarrassing.

Regardless, Kaoru doesn't appear to have been seen in that time, either, and she was out and about. It's not entirely out of the question.

And I have little doubt that if we choose either May or Gundam, it will. There must be more we're missing.

You saw the autopsy, I assume?

At least you understand now. It's incredible that you've lived in such danger for so long without realizing it. Perhaps I'm a bit envious.

But if you intend to kill now, we won't hesitate to have you executed, either. You understand.
