THIRD INVESTIGATION

[whimsicalism]

There was a party on the night of the first murder, wasn't there? That time it had been your hosts hosting it even if they didn't make an appearance. Now, at least the Queen had been able to talk with many of you in public. Surely this sign of goodwill as Halloween quickly approaches will last throughout the weekend.

Neither the threat of memories or the promise of a wish could shake such new goodwill, could it?

[... So she really is the last one. Everyone else has noticed, too, right? RNG hates teens.

She'll go back towards the first place she saw both of them this week, but first - ]

Alone today?

[There's silence for a while then an answer.]

She's tired. She'll be at the trial.

[prescience]

Tired...? [How perplexing. And worrying. Given what they've all suspected and what was confirmed at the meeting, two should be much better than one.]

I should hope she's not feeling confined to her room again?

[whimsicalism]

I should hope not! This isn't going to stop us from being happy.

[prescience]

What do you mean by "this"? I thought that playing the game this way was precisely what you wanted in order to bring you that happiness.

[whimsicalism]

It's always the same. They thought they could rob me of my happy ending... no, the game will continue. It must continue even if I bring in fresh souls.
