How many people know Sasuke switched to Merriment?

[ he glances over at him. ]

If they ask me, I can just say I was in one of the wings. It takes me completely out of the picture.

[SASUKE POINTEDLY DOES NOT LOOK BACK at them for the longest time. It's clear there's something questionable by the fact he doesn't immediately snap cooly about no one knowing.]

Three.

[He's quiet again. Finally, guiltily, he glances back, but his eye only makes it as far as their knees.] Oda, Mouri, and Connor.

I told them I was patrolling.

...then we will have to say you were patrolling elsewhere, and hope that they trust you enough not to check for truth in that statement.

[since they were part of the previous alignment doxxing... that complicates things, but-]

I hope those who have that ability will be reasonable enough to save it for more important matters.

[ . . . . . ]

Well... so long as Oda-san and Mouri-san trust you enough. Connor-san can't do that.... I don't know if Mouri-san would have enough confidence to use it unless it's to confirm an alignment or a killer. So... as long as no one suspects Sasuke in the first place, it should be alright.

At least in the place of Catra - since Entrapta wasn't either of you.

... Mouri suspects Entrapta and Catra for being Ray's killers.

I told them how to use Lie Detection similar to how Ray and I used it last time. [His hand wants to reach up to his face, but he brings it back down.] They'll have a signal and a third party.

Unless they couldn't find a common person between them, and then Mouri would just use it and reveal the results.

You all just have to be careful not to answer telling questions in a yes or no fashion. Ones they can check.
