...She wasn't around any of the victims that week at all.

[nonbelligerent]

[...]

Emma, have you ever heard about a task to send a note to someone every week?

[foodbin]

[After a moment:]

Yep, sure have.

[nonbelligerent]

Were you the one who checked me, then?

[foodbin]

It's different. One note a week, one person a week, but they don't have to be the same. So, no, I didn't.

[She gives a small shrug.]

You don't really seem like the kind of kind of person who's easily corrupted. And - I'm sorry about the note. [...] I can count on you not telling anyone, right?

[nonbelligerent]

Your identity? I won't. Though I have to say that the note was very confusing.

Are you alone with that ability?

[foodbin]

...I can't tell you that part. Sorry.

[nonbelligerent]

It's fine.

So how did it work, anyway? Did Lune and Sol approach you at the start to tell you that you had an additional ability, or something like that?

[foodbin]

Yeah. There was this portal that appeared out of nowhere, and when I went through, they were there with this big scroll that listed everything out.

[nonbelligerent]

Must've been an experience.

Can I ask what exactly you're able to do? Send a note and check for corruption?

[WHY DID YOU EVEN SEND HIM THAT NOTE]

[foodbin]

No, we get a more complete list of information about people. Their element, who they've talked to over the last week, and whether they have an additional role. The note thing, though...

[uuuuugh]

I can promise that was not what I would have written.

[nonbelligerent]

I can't imagine Lune and Sol advocated for it. Duly noted. What were you hoping I'd do with it, anyway?

[foodbin]

I have no idea. Apparently it wasn't a big deal because you should be keeping in mind that Lune and Sol are watching you anyways, but... Sorry anyways.

[nonbelligerent]

It's all right. It was more baffling than anything.

In any case, thank you for telling me this.

[foodbin]

Yeah. I guess we'll have to keep looking for whoever it was.

[nonbelligerent]

[he nods.]

Can I ask why you decided to tell me?

[foodbin]

I know we were keeping her in mind, and... I mean, it's not like I could have pulled you aside in the middle of the trial if we couldn't find anyone else we thought might be corrupted. You know?

[nonbelligerent]

[that gets a wry smile.]

A fair point.

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

Besides, I feel a little bad suspecting her now.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, that was how I felt after making her confess her element in public.

[foodbin]

She's had it rough this week, hasn't she?

[nonbelligerent]

She has. May things pick up for her soon.

[watch four be dead]

[foodbin]

I feel like that could be said for all of us.

[Given the widespread maiming and all. Speaking of which:]

Are you hurt? I don't see anything, but...

[Maybe it's concealed under his clothes, she doesn't know.]

[nonbelligerent]

I made it out mostly uninjured.

[he got more hurt fighting hisoka but he won't mention that part.]

[foodbin]

What does mostly uninjured mean?

[it means he's not missing a hand, emma.]
