[Week 5, Sunday: Belph]

[doublecrows]

Don't bother using next week's check on Hikage-san after all.

[hi, Belph]

I confirmed he isn't an Editor, although he does have a second title.

Comments

[doublecrows]

I told him, when I showed him that letter.

[LEAP OF FAITH, AKECHI]

[well. less a leap of faith, and more a calculated risk]

[axilium]

Quite the risk, detective.

[doublecrows]

I'm aware.

I suppose I'm not adverse to all risk, when said risk is necessary. I've survived this long by some miracle; I suppose I'm becoming a bit too confident with my life.

[axilium]

Who knows? Maybe the Shield likes you, for whatever reason.

[doesn't explain why no one votes for him at trials but eh.]

[doublecrows]

That doesn't explain why everyone was willing to implicate an innocent two weeks in a row, rather than vote for a certified killer.

[I MEAN]

[HE AIN'T COMPLAINING]

[BUT]

[axilium]

You should thank your partner. I suspect that people don't want to upset him.

[doublecrows]

You certainly won't see me complaining, as long as this works out in my favor.

[axilium]

Well, do try to survive, detective. You're still useful to me.

[doublecrows]

And you, me. I'd hate to see you die this late in the game.

[axilium]

Well, I may not have someone out protecting me, but I'll do my best.

[doublecrows]

I'm certain Shirasu-san would do his very best, either way.

[axilium]

Probably.
