I really wonder how this so-called detective is narrowing the spies down...

Perhaps we should hear your defense, just in case.

[sweetssuite]

If I was a spy, I'd have had all of them vote for Kuroba! Pinned there, that would have been the only logical choice! But there's four spies and only three people voted for him. Just like I said.

[livefreely]

Iiiii wouldn't. Because if I did that, then I could totally sweep all the spies within three days, right?

[sweetssuite]

What do you mean, precisely? I think I get it, but just to make sure.

[livefreely]

Because if the spies were voting for the opposite end of the stick while the villagers aren't, then wouldn't you immediately turn your head towards the people who were gunning for the villager to begin with?

[sweetssuite]

My point is that's exactly what they did - took aim at a villager, me, and tried to toss suspicion on me, but that only makes the other one look more suspicious!

[livefreely]

They took aim at two people with an anonymous message. During the votes, if they voted for you, they had an obvious reason to, you know.

[carptricks]

[eyeing her]

Or you could have taken advantage of the confusion of there being two suspects, and gotten one or two of your spy cohorts to vote for you last round just to make yourself look better for this one.

[sweetssuite]

That's dumb.

Who in their right mind is going to take a risk like that when one tiny slip is going to put them at an even bigger disadvantage? That's really grasping at straws, you know.

[carptricks]

Then you must've been confident there wouldn't be a slip.

What's also dumb is assuming the message is trustworthy when it could have come from anyone. Leorio-san got booted this morning, didn't he? And we don't know what his role was.

[sweetssuite]

Trust me, I don't have that much confidence in anyone.

If you're saying that, that means the accusation on me is worthless too.

[zerotodoro]

Then perhaps it's a spy sending a false message to cover their tracks? Accused two under the detective's name, then drop to one to make it sound like they confirmed it.

[collateraltsunage]

But had he been voted off and found to be innocent, you would have been the next suspect, and everyone who voted for him would also be under suspicion.

[sweetssuite]

That's assuming he is! But he's also been accused twice in a row now.

[collateraltsunage]

I'm speaking of your hypothetical situation, Ms. Kanade. You said yourself, if you were a spy, you would have gotten your fellow spies to vote for Kaito. That would be a dangerous strategy.

[sweetssuite]

But wouldn't potentially getting themselves voted out also be an even more dangerous strategy? Especially when there's so few of them left.

[fullonbraced]

I wish the detective would actually talk to someone! We'd be able to figure out more!

[sweetssuite]

That would be nice. I just want this dumb thing to be over with.

[fullonbraced]

Right!

...But don't think you're out of the woods just yet, maan!

[sweetssuite]

[SIGH]

If you've got questions, ask them. I don't have anything to hide.

[synchrownization]

About our last anonymous note...do you think anyone has a reason to vote you off? I'm sorry, I wasn't able to ask this last time.

[collateraltsunage]

I as well. I realize speaking publicly isn't wise [As Sugar got axed by the spies after she revealed herself--], but we cannot continue to rely on anonymous messages.

[synchrownization]

I agree, but I think the only time our detective is going to reveal themselves is when they're ready to be targeted by the spies.

[collateraltsunage]

There must be another way.

[synchrownization]

What if we asked the detective to give some proof, next time? I'm not sure what, exactly, but it's all I can think of.
