Digitalis Old English folklore said that foxes wore the flowers on their paws to silence movement and stealthily stalk prey. Healing, pain, insincerity, insecurity
[if this scrap is from lavi's headband/uniform somehow i'm gonna kill yaywon actually.]
...Lavi was pretty upset about what happened with Nona yesterday. And Iwatooshi and I spoke a little last night, too, about trying to find an answer before the third monster strikes again. He also pointed out that if they strike again, we can at least compare what they do next to what we know of Ichiban's death. Try to find a pattern.
[ Wasn't Lavi doing all the black clothing checks on people lol. It'd be very funny. ]
The part that's probably the most strange is how they got on the roof, and the subsequent hole left behind without a tool. An easy guess would be some kind of flight, but...
We'll see, guess we'll see. If patterns repeat again, or we'll find somebody new.
It's possible to think that people fell through the roof, but if it was something heavier that broke through first...you wouldn't be able to tell at all. [she's not sure if she'd be able to surmise it herself even if she did have a closer look.] But you're right. Guess we'll see, and all we can do is keep our eyes peeled. Maybe whoever it was will slip up before it's too late and we can...take care of it from there.
Of course I do. Karlach's the tallest person we have, followed by Iwatooshi...there's a pretty big difference between him and the rest.
Lavi, Geto, Alfyn and Ichiban were all about the same height, and Rondo and Gojo are slightly taller. But only slightly. [so why would you need a poncho as large as karlach...?]
They may be our tallest, but the difference between Mr. Geto and Karlach is very notable.
[ ...Mm. ]
With the way the evidence was going, I didn't want to waste time on discovering another piece of evidence just belonged to Mr. Kasuga himself again, but...
It's odd, to say the least, to see that level of violence and the only blood trace to be from the victim themselves. Unless they wore a protective, waterproof covering?
We were speculating, weren't we? That the ponchos were meant to shield from blood and wine. It's possible that someone helped Erin with Karma, and then went to take care of Ichiban on their own while Erin rolled the barrel into the sea. That material meant that nothing would stick very well. Everything would wash away.
Only two options now. [kill, or let them kill again.] Without a definite answer, we risk hurting someone who's innocent. But without acting, we're putting someone else at risk anyway.
It's a hard call to make because it's not like we can post a sign someone casting suspicions. And I think even Kanda would...probably hesitate before stabbing someone without certainty they're to blame.
We can keep an eye out for now. Maybe see if other people have noticed, too. And try to make sure people aren't alone for too long.
Thank you, Daan. I might mention it to a few others who were looking into it to see if they might have noticed anything unusual or anything to make a more solid connection. [...] I'm sure you're the last person I ever have to say this to, but just be careful in the meantime. Okay?

It's not an unusual wish to have, to want to choose somebody else. You could keep an eye on them, of course, see how they behave.
Mind the black scrap.

[ Thinking, quietly. ]
...Mr. Iwatooshi is right between.

The problem with that being what we do with this information, of course.

I am a pragmatist, even if I don't like it...

Oh, but I really don't like it. I'm no good at trying to broach this sort of thing.

[ So. Presumably he'll be able to keep an eye on Iwatooshi and if he dies, c'est la vie. ]
So I'll keep an eye out.
