[axilium]

... I think we've already got the message, but duly noted.

[doublecrows]

That's what we said. It wasn't a memory that told us much.

[but. there u go anyway, Belph]

[axilium]

Though that could mean there's more to it... Well, anyway. Thanks.

[doublecrows]

Of course.

Your objective, if you will.

[he]

[will not let this go]

[axilium]

[damn it akechi

he's quiet for a while.]

... I have to lead the vote to get someone I know to be innocent executed.

[doublecrows]

[yikes]

[but Akechi's reaction to that is. . . less horrified than it should be. he simply arches a brow]

I see. That's not an easy task.

[axilium]

Nope.

[doublecrows]

Do you have moral qualms against doing such a thing?

[what is it with people and like, not wanting to murder]

[axilium]

Is that relevant to you?

[doublecrows]

[. . . he shrugs]

Not necessarily.

[axilium]

Then don't ask.

[doublecrows]

Very well.

[it's not a subject he feels he needs to push Belph on, at least]

For now, that's all I have. If you check Hikage-san next week, could you please tell me the results of same? I will, of course, inform you of the memory we Historians recall in exchange for that information.

[axilium]

Well, no promises that I'll check Hikage, but I'll keep it in mind. Why do you want to know if he has a role, anyway?

[doublecrows]

I want to catch these "Editors," because I want to know if either of them had a hand in Monika's death.

[. . . ah]

As I said, Hikage-san is. . . like me. [mmm] I wouldn't be surprised if he were one of our Editors.

[axilium]

... Got it. We'll see.

[doublecrows]

[a satisfied nod]

That's all I have for now. But I imagine we'll speak later?

[axilium]

Unless one of us dies.
