... it's how I know about the fire. They ended up separated, so they're not sure what happened other than that and what's on the scroll I showed you.
[ he kicks lightly at the floor. ]
From what it sounds like, the fire was most likely the item that Ray, Senri, Sasuke, and I got from capture the flag. It was green fire in a jar. All we really knew about it was that it was compared to a bomb, and Ray was the one who was keeping it for all of us.
he hurries onto the next question, because it's easier to talk about facts than that. ]
Ray would have only purposely used it if he didn't see any other option. We knew the item was dangerous, so I don't think he would have been careless. [ ... ] But I guess there is the chance of it breaking on accident or something.
[ Yu is quiet, for a moment, taking in his resolve. ]
I have no guarantee of this yet, but we may have a use of Blame Game during the trial. If you have any suspicions about any of our culprits, come find me before the trial. ... if we are able to use it, I want to be reasonably sure we've got the right person.
... wonder if that means we'll see someone bring it up directly, [ he muses. Total chaos would ensue, naturally, since they'd have hard proof of a killer with a six letter first name... ]
... we should probably try to avoid that kind of outcome, unless absolutely necessary.
Especially then. There's blood in the water. Everyone will want justice, and we can't let them get distracted. I'll be relying on you to keep everyone focused, Shishimaru-san.
[ He has a knack for it, Yu thinks. ]
If we completely run out of leads, or haven't made any progress an hour or two before the trial ends... maybe then.

But he listens ... thoughtfully. That's a whole lotta yikes. ]
... is there any chance it was used accidentally, or would it have to have been purposeful?
no subject
[ as okay as you can be, after this mess.

He shakes his head. ]
I know. He would have been careful. Which means there are two options: he saw no other choice but to use it, or ...
[ The dream. Ray had touched his throat, and there'd been blood. ]
He was attacked, and the jar was simply shattered.
[ ... ]
Did only the four of you know what was in that jar?
no subject
[ ... ]
But since Ray is... [ it's hard to say it. ] I think we should let someone else know. And I know he and Senri trust you.
no subject
I'll do my best to live up to their faith in me.
[ Yu squares his shoulders. ]
I want to find out what happened last night, Shishimaru-san. That's my goal before the trial.
no subject
[ his voice has been lacking its usual bite this whole conversation. takaomi is very... deflated, but his tone turns firm. ]
We can't mess up.

[ there's a pause, and then he adds. ]
I was told that the killer from last week has six letters in their first name.
no subject
[ Can you HEAR him doing the mental math. Can you. That does not make him comfortable. He nods slowly. ]
... is there any chance the same person killed again?
no subject
[ and now he's. rip. ]
But we should maybe keep an eye on the people it might be pointing to tomorrow.
no subject
You're right. It's worth keeping in mind. Anyone else know that one, that might be keeping a lookout with us?
no subject
I assume they probably let their companions know as well.

he sure fucking wants to catch this week's killers. ]

At the very least, it shouldn't be as hectic as last week since we don't have to deal with that rule again.
no subject
[ he says, as someone who started one. ]
no subject
... the tension is going to be fairly high, so I doubt we won't have any.
no subject
... then we'll do our best to keep them under control. [ only. somewhat. pointedly. TAKA, who TRIED TO EGG ON THE FIGHTS LAST TIME, ]
no subject
... keep an eye on Sasuke. He's really upset, but you did a good job of it last time.
