Nothing is quite the motivator like spite.

[ and guessing wrong will probably make people want to correct their mistake, if they care about that sort of thing. ]

So it ain't over yet, is it?

[ She turns back to face him again, a little more determined. ]

It's not.

[ there's a firm nod. ]

I get the feeling we won't really get another chance to look at the evidence, since the Avatars made a point that we had to solve it in nine hours. [ ... ] Beauregard says her staff went missing earlier on, so this could have been planned well in advance. So we need to keep an eye out all week for anything that seems off.

Somebody tried to frame her. [ She frowns, looking irritated. ] Do ya have any other guesses?

Just that it was someone who used her profile information to their advantage. Everything that was used could have been taken from it.

[ her profile describing her as being punch happy was even brought up in trial. ]

There's still a lot of holes though. Where the hell did that skull come from?

[ i was on the phone at that point so i have no idea what went on with the skull ]

That was confusin'... we never figured out who's it was, right?

[ as someone who was around, i promise you it still makes no sense. ]

We didn't. Someone suggested something supernatural, but... we don't have powers. It wouldn't have worked.

But it... Had to be Tamaki's? Everyone else is alive?

[ OR ARE THEY ]

[ he looks into the distance ]

That doesn't make any sense either.

[ She sinks down into the captain's chair again. ]

Ya know, I'm not normally a quitter but we ain't gettin' anywhere, are we?

Honestly, I'm not entirely convinced the skull was even involved with what happened with Tamaki.

[ she sits up, A Thought coming to her ]

Like it's some kinda mystery related to the origins of this place? And if we solve it, we'll end up with the advantage?
