She, Akane, Four, and Nana found it together earlier in the week.
In the hypothetical scenario where Nana had arranged to meet someone and bring the first aid kit with her, it wasn't out of the question that it'd be someone who already knew she had it.
I'm not sure. The darkness in Futaba implied that she may have been working with another. It could be a lie, of course, but Lune did also mention that cooperation between two corrupted wasn't out of the question.
I had Lune confirm the alignments of all the dead, for a price.
As we figured, Futaba and Nana were both air. Tokidoki was earth, and Junna was water. The darkness in Futaba implied Nana used her ability to fight back, accounting for one air usage. I don't believe we confirmed that Futaba used her ability or that Tokidoki was for sure crushed using an air ability, but most likely, the other air usage was for one of those.
That leaves two water abilities used. One was Junna's. But one remains.
[She pauses for a moment, and then freezes. That's not to say she stops moving; she actually freezes, her form turning entirely into ice in the span of a few seconds. She stays that way for just a few moments before she returns to normal, making a face.]
Holy shit. Trust me when I say you have no idea how weird that feels. But, hey, at least I'm not possessed...?
After reading these texts, I think our theory that Junna was poisoned through Toxicity was wrong. Her red eyes may have been a result of [a pause as he tries to remember how it's spelled] petechial hemorrhaging, which more likely indicates asphyxiation by strangulation.
There weren't any marks on her neck, but I don't know whether that was just ill luck for us or if she was strangled in a way that would never leave signs.
A method of strangulation that wouldn't leave a mark...? Do you have any ideas of how someone would do that? Because even something thin like a small rope or a string would leave some bruising or a cut, wouldn't it?
[She pauses.]
...If I can ask, if there anyone you particularly suspect now? If there is, and we know that Lune will exchange information in return for something - I can try to find out more. Maybe he'll be more willing to give out information if it's not just one person asking.
I'm not too sure. If they did it with their hands, then it's not guaranteed to leave a visible mark, I think... but it's something humans would know better than me. [what's bruising when your kind normally just like. heals instantly.] Still, it's possible they knocked Junna on the head to disorient her, which means that they didn't necessarily need to choke her with great force if she couldn't fight back well.
[he shakes his head.]
No. Of the people I know to be aligned with water besides you, one I don't think did it and the other is Feral, who was practicing with ice openly this week. But I have no particular reason to suspect him yet.
Would suffocating her in another way have caused the redness in her eyes, or do you think it was definitely strangulation?
[She nods.]
Then I'll try to find more information on people who have that alignment. But, taking water out of the equation - is there anyone you'd find suspicious then?
According to the texts, it'd be something externally blocking one's airways. The specific reason is increased pressure on the veins in the head due to such blockage, which then causes ruptures in the eyes. Of course, that's assuming it was petechial hemorrhaging at all. I could be wrong.
No. Lune suggested examining what would be one's motivation for killing Junna, but I don't know anyone well enough to guess, especially as I didn't know Junna very well either.

Medical texts. Considering what happened, they seem like they'd be useful here.

[She frowns.]
So... More than likely, it was someone on water who’s still corrupted. Damn, we should have made that list.
no subject
[so not, like, terrible. but also was not fun, 0/10 would not recommend.]
Well, it's not like we know many water or ice users.
no subject
[She pauses, though, thinking.]
What power do you think they used? Although - if you don’t want to tell me given that last part, I get it.

Are you still able to use your power?

[Oh, and—]
Just in case... Would you be able to show me your power, too?
no subject
he was expecting the question, but...]
Normally, I would, since you showed yours.
However, I already did so earlier today for my partner. So, it depends on whether you're willing to take my or Miki's word for it.
