she has heart issues due to an event that happened three years ago. she's gotten better, admittedly; her heart doesn't seize up as much as it used to, and she's otherwise a perfectly healthy young woman, but i still feel like that's all the more reason to keep her in there.

[kingmakereffect]

...You want to make sure that she doesn't get sick again, is that it?

[penduli]

[ sure, let's go with that, that sounds vaguely less insane than the actual reason ]

more or less.

[kingmakereffect]

If you say so.

[...]

Did you want anything else in exchange for the information you've given me? I doubt you're satisfied with just asking about how I am and talking about Boundless.

[penduli]

[ hmmm. ]

there's a lot of stuff, but i suspect you won't grant me them or answer whatever serious questions i have if i try to get information.

[kingmakereffect]

It doesn't matter to me if you ask or not.

We do have an agreement, though.

[penduli]

[ that they do. ]

it's about the executions. are you open to answering questions on that, or should i try my luck with another topic?

[kingmakereffect]

I can't know that unless I hear the questions.

...If I can't answer, I'm not going to tell you that you wasted your one try and have to try again next time, if that's what you're afraid of.

[penduli]

[ ... ]

right. [ okay, how does he word this... ]

it's about the victims. they show up in the pit to face their killer, but we've already obviously seen them dead. we investigate the crime scenes, we check their bodies. provided they leave one.

are you "saving" them from some other point in time and bringing them here so they can exact justice on the person who killed them?

[kingmakereffect]

That's an interesting theory. I genuinely mean that, I'm not just saying that.

But no.

[penduli]

[ an interesting theory, but a flop. hmm. ]

well, i thought it'd be more plausible than asking if they were zombies, which was the first theory everyone had after we had our first trial.




they're not zombies, are they?

[kingmakereffect]

No, no. They're not zombies, either.

[penduli]

[ yes, that's what he thought.

it is not going to be as easy as this, but. ]

what are they then?

[kingmakereffect]

Oh, come on. It's no fun if I just tell you.

[penduli]

[ that's also what he thought ]

and playing twenty questions is?

[kingmakereffect]

...I get bored easily.

[penduli]

are you really older than me

[kingmakereffect]

Definitely.

[penduli]

[ ... ]

i don't have any other theories about the executions [ yet ] but i did want to ask you if i could ask you things about other survivors? i only have a question about capable for the moment.

[kingmakereffect]

Again, that depends on the question.

[penduli]

[ he's really going to have to get used to just asking questions and not prefacing it with "can i" when it comes to this ]

did she have any siblings?

[kingmakereffect]

She did.

[penduli]

[ ...they told Kamui and Caren they'd look out for their siblings, they could do the same for Mion. ]

older or younger?

[kingmakereffect]

They were twins.

[penduli]

[ ...that's five twins why ]

was it just coincidence that five of us happened to be twins, or do you have something against us?
