I'd agree. Habits all in good, but I want to get stock in everything we've found and everything we've not. There's a half dozen secret rooms and locked doors and the like around the building, right? And I need to make sure to see if the ghosts have anything to tell us.

No idea. I know some of them are, some of them probably aren't... Hell, I've not searched anywhere myself other than for ghosts in a long while now.

He could be offsite with cameras or radio, right? .... But no, his powers. You're right.

As do I. [ She tilts her head ] For that matter, his knowledge and the previous games. I don't very much think speculation on any of that shall help us, but he puts so much stock into it all, perhaps it will be a little useful.

Not to mention that alien library on the top floor.

[ She blows out a soft exhale. ]

... Neither of them would have been my suspect for that, it's true. But I think Rin's testimony or even Kimblee and Archer's actions confirm that it wasn't "them" - or if it was, they don't remember.

I don't know. He also referenced such terrible actions others did. Sigrun made poor choices, Aligula made a death god get reset, Blue was a "traitor" - that's not even getting into other smaller things like there apparently being a second Dextrous or when he was talking about some other titles.

[ Mmm. ]

For all my speeches, it's not as if I have much more than bravado, even if I will be doing my best.

[ . . . ]

Who knows. That Ushiromiya woman used to go on about Rideaux's whole dimensions thing. So ... maybe.

I'm still suspect of the idea that Kimblee died four times like that report says. It actually makes more sense to me for there to be four Kimblees on some level. I don't think he'd be as put together as he was if he died that much.

It's not impossible [ Susan ] but for how that man seemed to operate... no, he'd be different. Changed.

Or at least be more reckless, yes. He'd also have no reason to be secretive.

You miss my meaning. I cannot speak for Jericho, but if Kimblee remembered anything, that means he would know those hidden rules we don't know, right? He wouldn't have gone out as early as he did, from a skittish impatience. He could have exploited the system for victory.

[ She nods. ]

... And to come towards today...

... Sayaka didn't - she did not remember running one of these things. I would take my life on it.

[ And Sayaka, if she's honest, seems more likely than Alex. ]
