Right. I don't know what we can do to stop him from blabbing whether we try to pin him down or not. It's basically his trump card right now.

That's the only reason I can think of for why he would tell me in the first place. He wants me to know he has leverage to try and stop me from saying anything, probably.

[...]

But I don't feel great about the idea of not saying anything. Who can tell what he'd do about the information he has once the trial was over...?

That's true. There's nothing to stop him from spilling anyway. Or, going after you himself next week.

... Talk about a rock and a hard place. We don't exactly have much of a choice but to spill it, 'specially since I wouldn't discount the fact that he might've been involved in either of the murders last night.

It doesn't really strike me as a good sign that Hisoka got killed the same week he told Shirasu about the role, no.

[She sighs.]

...How do we want to do that? I know we talked about the lie detection items before.

It depends on whether we want to jump straight to that or if we want to present our case as to why he's under suspicion.

The former means we have to reveal less of our hand, but it also means he's under no obligation to answer any questions without cause. The latter will put pressure on him, but gives him more opportunity to bring up your identity.

... We've got nine hours. We should try to play it safe for a while and try to push suspicions on him the old fashioned way, at least until we can get the harder questions answered by Sol or Lune. If we can manage a framework...

[ though. hm. ]

If he was responsible, there's a pretty good chance he'll have tried to frame someone else.

[She nods.]

We don't want to run out of time before everyone knows what he did, though. [...] And - is our goal here to try to get him voted out, or just to make sure everyone knows?

[After a short pause, she looks at Shess.]

Do we have to vote for the corrupted to give you a chance to use the sword, or do we just have to know who it is?

I don't think they have to be voted for, but I would prefer to double-check with Lune or Sol first.

I would say our goal is to ensure he can't carry out any more kills.

... For Naminé's, they had to be voted for. That's why I switched gears to Swift Wind when Sol pointed him out.

...Okay, so, game plan.

[She sighs.]

Find the corrupted, make sure everyone knows Shirasu killed Kazuaki using the lie detection items if we have to, vote for the corrupted, and... do something to make sure Shirasu can’t hurt anybody else. Anyone got an idea for that part?
