That was kind of part of my second option. He has to be getting his information from somewhere, whatever it might be.

But I don't know if we can trust him yet anyway.

[txt]

Right, right. Information like that usually doesn't come out of thin air. Or, you know, I hope that wasn't just something he came up with on a whim.

[goalsides]

What're the chances of us being able to use our vouchers to buy a lie detector to use on him?

[txt]

Zero to none, I would say.

[goalsides]

Then what even is the point? [UGHHH.]

[txt]

[she shakes her head... your good is as good as hers, bruh.]

[goalsides]

[a sigh.]

I guess...we'll just have to figure out what to do next. [frowning.] Did you get a chance to talk to Hanayagi at all last night?

[txt]

We talked for a while. Did you?

[goalsides]

No. We've never spoken before so I didn't think it'd make a difference. [he is finding out that was a mistake.] What did she say? Anything?

[txt]

She shared some things. Mostly, how she got outside in the first place.

[goalsides]

[hello?]

What was the explanation for that?

[txt]

She started to fall asleep like everyone else, until all of a sudden— she was outside! The way she tells it, Hiyori-kun experienced the same thing. She ran into the other two gentlemen too, but they were fast asleep.

[goalsides]

All of a sudden like...she was just teleported out there? [he sounds. very disbelieving here.] We know why the two of them were awake, but we still don't know anything about Sieghart or Dimitri.

[txt]

That's right! Kaoruko-chan though it was because she already considered killing Hiyori-kun, and I don't see what reason she had to lie at that point... especially when she straight up refused to answer other questions. That said, we couldn't make heads or tails about those two. If they wanted to kill each other, I doubt they would share the same story.

[goalsides]

Right. I heard about that. Someone told me she bought the pole with a voucher, so maybe that really is it. She had an intention, and this place made it possible.

Still doesn't really explain why she considered it in the first place though.

[txt]

I asked what she thought she could get out of it, but she was suuuuper tight-lipped about it. Even after I promised to keep it a secret! Can you believe that?

[goalsides]

I can, actually. [it doesn't make it any less frustrating though.] Maybe there was a catch to it, like if she told then she wouldn't get whatever she was promised.

[txt]

... I guess that's possible too. Ugh, but the curiosity is killing me! Just what in the world was going through your head, Kaoruko-chan?

[goalsides]

Nothing good, probably. [a frown.] And we can't ask her now.

[txt]

[She shakes her head.]

Not unless someone knows how to perform a séance, and even then...

[goalsides]

...think Manwol would? [can ghosts call ghosts?? this will age poorly when we kill manwol.]

[txt]

[it aged badly but in a whole different way]

Hmm, we could ask?

[goalsides]

You guys share a dorm, right? It might be easier for you to do it than me.
