[aozaki]

Exactly, which leaves Belarus' circumstances up to debate. She was a lot more cautious and carried a flask, she came to refill it that night for a brief few minutes at the bar. She always kept herself armed as well, she seemed well capable of defending herself. What do you think of the prospects that she might've been an accidental victim, miss Sonia?

[teenspirit]

There is nothing accidental about dismemberment...

[aozaki]

That's what's been done to the corpse, yes. ...You don't suppose she was still alive, when they started?

[teenspirit]

Goodness, I hope not...

[aozaki]

[Briefly rubbing the bridge of her nose beneath her glasses...]

Let's focus on the poisoning, then. Do we know if Belarus makes a habit of stopping by the bar? I've seen Altman there myself a few times since all this began, taking a drink could to be part of his routine. Would you be able to confirm?

[teenspirit]

I do not know. I, um, I drink in private. In my room.

[ Shut up it's a lonely life. ]

[aozaki]

I can understand the paranoia, but no company? What about Tanaka-kun? You two spend a lot of time together, don't you?

[wait really

but porque]

[teenspirit]

[ She beckons Touko closer

and whispers ]

But if I drink around him... things might happen.

[aozaki]

[Huddles closer...]

A noble lady is a master of control and composure when she so wills. You can't be underestimating your restraints this flagrantly, miss Sonia?

[MILDLY FROWNING DISAPPROVINGLY]

[teenspirit]

Th-the truth is I have poor self control!

[aozaki]

--Eh? Despite, all your hard work?

[TRYING TO KEEP HER VOICE DOWN...]

[teenspirit]

I have never been good at it! I'm a real failure of a proper princess...

[aozaki]

[Chinhands thoughtfully...]

That sort of thing is better to learn in company regardless, I'd say. How about making sure you only have access to a limited amount in your room, whatever that's well within the bounds of your tolerance? Once you've emptied it, that's that. Tanaka-kun could keep an eye out, too.

[...]

Does he drinking at all, actually? If alcohol interferes with his... sense of divine perception? Does he have any beliefs about that?

[teenspirit]

I'm not sure... I have never offered him a drink... And I have never invited him to my room.

[aozaki]

Then what are you waiting for, miss Sonia? A lady's room is one thing, but you've talked about drinks with him at all?

[teenspirit]

M-maybe after the trial...

[aozaki]

If you can find juice in the kitchen, you could probably mix something with what's available in the cellar. A lady has to have initiative too, you know? I don't see Tanaka-kun making the first move very well, after all, and it'll be a good way to break the gloom also.

[teenspirit]

N-noooo, I don't mean that kind of thing-!!

[aozaki]

Of what? Spending some time away from the chaos and have a drink in private, but good company to unwind?

[teenspirit]

W-wait, what were you implying!

[aozaki]

Huh? What did you think I was implying?

[teenspirit]

I don't know anymoooooooore!!

[aozaki]

C-calm down, miss Sonia!

[is this related to control.......]

[teenspirit]

I wasn't even thinkin' of anything dirty!

[aozaki]

I wasn't either! Weren't you just... worried, that you'd do something silly and outrageous, in you ever became uninhibited?
