[Yasu is quiet throughout the meeting, like she usually is. This time, though, there's an intent to her silence. It's less that she's naturally fading into the background and more like she's struggling to say something.

And when she does, it's clear why she was having a hard time wording it.]

So. Um.

[Deep breaths in and out.]

Considering the m- motive this time around, I think...

[And then she grits her teeth and forces herself to just say it.]

Somebody is going to get murdered. There. There's no avoiding it this time. Even with everything that we've stocked up, there's... seventeen of us left? We're not going to last that long.

It's not an option, like w- what it seemed the last two times. Either somebody does the dumb, heroic thing and tries to get away with murder—or, er, does it for less heroic reasons, I don't know—or we all die.

So... we need to start laying the groundwork for our investigation now. We can't slip up during the trial; the Principal is clearly at his limit with us and there's a chance he won't be satisfied even if the culprit confesses. We need to be prepared to thoroughly prove it.
