[Well, that's depressing. Is he nosy enough to open someone's will? It's tempting and normally the answer would be a hell yes, but he actually likes Alice so he'll respect her stuff. And also he doesn't want to jinx her since he can immediately tell what a cruel irony it would be if he opened it and she were to die next week. And also the whole seal thing means she'd know and would totally kick his ass.
So he'll put the pillow back over the letter and head on over to her wardrobe instead, opening it and carefully examining all the clothes within.]

[Yeah for sure, it would be a great game.]
For good? For good?
Your concept of morality is so primitive if you hold such a belief. The Gods themselves chuckle at the notion. There is no good and evil in this world. There is only power, and those too weak to seek it.

[Susan will listen attentively to this explanation before responding slowly, as if carefully choosing the right words.]
If you've forgotten the details of the one person that was ever important to you, is it at all possible you've been misled about their status? Perhaps you believed this person deceased at one point, but realized you were in error afterwards - and your memory of that realization has been taken as well.
If they chose to execute this person, your memory that they were actually alive would immediately be restored, causing an even greater emotional impact. It feels like the sort of thing they would do.

Armageddon's Crimson Flame! Unleash Your Ancient Power...Tremble Barriers of Deceit!
[Doing a shonen pose here, though when is he not.]
"Steel Red Elephant" Maga-G! No Door Shall Stand In Your Path!
[Okay so the hamster scurries down his leg, gets the key, crawls back up to his hand, and then sits in his hand and puts the key in the lock. It takes a little too much dexterity, so Gundam then takes over and turns the key.]

Scraps of an outfit, yes, but we didn't find the rest of it scattered about the house, either. I do think she generally wore dresses, yes. But could the ash have been actually been the remnants of whatever she was wearing that day? There's not enough for a full wardrobe, but for scattered pieces of a dress...
[Which doesn't explain the killer's clothing at all, but.]

[ Rapture's room is neither methodically neat or horrifically messy. The bed is made, but the sheets are not smoothed out completely. A single glass lies by her nightstand. There is too much light in the room due to the curtain being pulled down. The door to her wardrobe is closed.
On her desk rests the chloroform filled to the very top (though not untouched) and her monogrammed handkerchief. There is nothing to signify that the two have been used together. Next to them is a few piles of papers mostly with lyrics and music compositions scribbled absently here and there. A fountain pen is settled just above it.
It's clear her liquor cabinet has been used quite a few times since she's been here. Mostly for mimosas and screwballs. ]

They could be hidden behind any number of things. It's perfectly possible we might not find it in the time of the trial - we'd know when they started to smell, I suppose.
Uh yeah, after yesterday, you definitely don't have to worry about that. Sympathy is the last thing I'll be offering to this creep. If they were just going after the actual incentive, that would have been one thing. They didn't have to kill two people, and they definitely didn't have to do what they did to Belarus.
[ Sonia shrieks. ]
Ah, it's too cute! It's so cute, I am going to die!

Indeed, it would seem that no one here has, ah... experience enough to determine whether this was done by an "amateur" or not. [GROSS having to phrase things this way is wigging Kaoru out.]
But if you would not mind taking a look as well, it would be much appreciated. The more opinions we have, the more likely we are to come to an accurate consensus.

[Still the same. Fairly neat room with a few very notable exceptions: crumpled up pieces of paper on the floor near the desk, paperwork piled up on the desk, dark stains worn into the carpet near the door, smell of vomit and urine in the room. But the wardrobe is neat and most things are picked up off the room. Bed is unmade.]
I am not mistaken.
[He doesn't clarify, but his tone is very final, even a little pained. He doesn't really appreciate the comment at all.]
All of you in this place should be relieved that I am not.

See if the papers say anything important?
[ Sonia, meanwhile, kneels by the stains and begins examining them. What size and color are they? How dark are they? ]

Thank you, Miss Sto Helit.
Does anyone know when the first body part was discovered? Mr. Clyde and myself were awake before breakfast but I did not see anything out of the ordinary and he did not make mention, either. I believe it can safely be concluded that the parts were distributed before the earliest risers due to how risky it would otherwise be, which gives us a window of 9:30 in the evening to 5 or 6 in the morning for Altman, and 8:30 in the evening to the same for Miss Belarus.

...Yeesh. Just how much budget is this thing running on?
Fair enough. Azaka's power should be impossible to replicate, although if they set her free, she'll probably burn the whole room down with her. [A beat.] I'd recognize the glove I made for her if she has it, though. Either way, this is astoundingly elaborate.

...I suppose I don't quite share the same view. It's disgusting, certainly, but a corpse is, admittedly, nothing more than meat and bone. What happened to Lydia was far worse - the living are the ones who can suffer. The dead feel nothing more.
Belarus and Michael Altman are both dead. And probably for no better reason than the money. That's what we ought to be outraged about.
The Hostess has confirmed it - double the murder means double the prizes. If someone like Bernkastel or Siren remains among us, we'll be rolling in them before long. Today's culprit absolutely cannot be allowed to escape with what they've done.

But why would they go to such lengths to hide the method...? Surely it cannot be like Mr. Strider's circumstances; there is no framing involved. Unless they are trying to recreate the confusion Miss Takami's case held, but... that, too, seems to lack sense to me.
I meant scraps like...what you'd get if you ran a knife through it a bunch of times. It was really ripped up, but I think there was enough fabric there for an actual dress. Not a long one, but it's not like she would have gone to bed in a full outfit or anything.
[The papers all seem to be notes Altman was taking. A lot of them are nonsensical, involve symbols or strange words. What you can piece together is that he's struggling with his memory loss.
The stains are fairly dark and small, they look like something worn into the carpet over time. Some of them are clearly mud tracked in by boots, but some are a little darker, and may be blood.]
