[On the flip side, they'll be able to check those passages during the investigation tomorrow. It would be ideal if they didn't have to investigate in the first place, but . . .
Once Tomioka has given his answer, Mitsuri supplies her own.]
He normally powers down at the camp, but he wasn't there. Nobody seems to have seen him.
[ he found it among a skeleton that he ran into during his cliff exploration, so it's definitely likely that it was something belonging to someone else. but seeing that he doesn't have much to add onto the state of 3po, he'll keep his opinions to himself.
especially since if things are going to end up the same as last week—this isn't the kind of scenario he should comment on. honestly, it was definitely best that mitsuri was assigned to the camp that she was. ]
[If he got stuck in a hidden room with dangers present, the chances of his surviving are woefully low. Her brow furrows deeper in concern. Are they going to find Threepio scattered across the island tomorrow?
No, no! She mustn't think like that. So long as there's hope, she's going to stick to it.]
[ the robot seemed harmless but giyuu didn't trust the robot in the first place mainly because he didn't understand what it was. 3po never explained himself but then again giyuu never let him... still, he'll offer some sort of better news? ]
He was also stuck in the sand earlier this week.
[ however, in regards to the matter of ghosts—giyuu looks away from the two of them before he responds. ]
[ People and things that seem harmless can be quite deadly. A primary example is standing in front of them. Mitsuri thinks the world of everyone, but that doesn't mean she can't still break someone in half over her knee. ]
That only increases the chance he's stuck somewhere.
[ How is that better news, Giyuu..... ]
I met no ghosts this week. What did Anaido-san say?
[ not the way that they could speak, at least. but they found a way to communicate outside of words, amazingly, or not so amazingly... who knows. what is important thought is— ]
He confirmed that Zoe was responsible for his death.
[At the very least, that dispels the cloud of doubt regarding everyone's judgment at the investigation. Still, it does nothing for Zoe's apparent inability to have grasped the severity of the situation. Zoe's crime, Anaido's death, and Shinobu's treatment after honing in on the culprit—all of it was unspeakably cruel.
Mitsuri wonders if Anaido knows about the other deaths that took on the same night. Before she can ask, Shinobu puts out an interesting statement.]
What do you mean?
[For a split second, she remembers the disparities in their memories.]
[ given how they were all there during her execution, it was very obvious that she didn't understand what she had done. there was no malice in what she did and perhaps that is what made it worse for him. they caught his murderer; he didn't execute an innocent, but...
either way, he pushes that aside to further focus on what shinobu brings up. time functioning differently? is it more like what they experienced in the lighthouse or something else...? his further commentary can wait until she explains her finding. ]
[Then it's entirely possible for one person to kill many in a single night. It's a chilling revelation. At the same time, this can be a double-edged sword.]
If that's true, we can take advantage of them during the investigation tomorrow, right?

Likely so.

[ In relation to the murders... or just by accident? It's hard to say without knowing more. ]
He could be stuck in a room. After all, I was until I fought off all the skeletons in a hidden room.
[ And Threepio doesn't seem very combat ready. ]
It seems like the people who were here before us are scattered across this island in terrible ways.
[ Dying on a cliff... ]

No, no! She mustn't think like that. So long as there's hope, she's going to stick to it.]
I'll look for him again after we part ways.
Have you met any ghosts this week?

...Anaido.

But at the mention of Anaido, she angles her head to watch Tomioka.]

He confirmed that Zoe was responsible for his death.
no subject
Is that so? I wanted her to recognize the reality of the situation, but I wonder if she'll ever learn.
[ Would she, if she had more time? ]
That's one solved for sure, then. The other three....
[ Still are in various states of mystery. ]
I should mention also that time seemed to function differently in the secret passage I walked through.
