Neither of the other two did. In fact, they hid evidence in their own rooms. Seems fairly careless.

[ he shrugs ]

I don't know. Maybe whoever it was had more time than they did.

I guess so.

[ he'll just rest against the counter. ]

Oh, well.

Guess we'll know who it was if the shadows don't leave them alone and they have to go again.

[ rip? he has managed something that almost looks like a cosmo canyon so he just stares at his drink for a bit ]

It wouldn't make any sense if they do... but we can't say for sure unless it happens...

You think any of this makes sense?

[ dry. ]

No.

But if they really want us to believe this will save our hostages, I feel like making someone kill again will make that go out the window.

I don't know how much people believe in that stuff in the first place.

I know someone asked to be brought a belonging of their hostage, in order for it to be proven...

[ he sighs. ]

But it's difficult. I fully believe that they could have brought hostages here. They brought us here, after all. It's just whether or not the deal is legitimate that's harder.

... Yeah. I think the hostages are here, too. But I'm pretty sure there's something about that contract that's going to make it so we lose no matter what.

So, we just have to figure out a loophole.

[ somehow. easier said than done. ]

I tried to find out if the hostages are conscious or not. I was told that the staff didn't know, and they would make an attempt to find out. [ a pause ] I suppose if Ookurikara was, he'd be throwing a fit.

That your hostage?

[ from context. also francia that's so funny. ]

I think if they've kept Aerith awake, they'd regret it pretty quick, too.

[ with a steel chair. ]
