What is it?

[namelessfighter]

[ as cheerful as ever, isn't he? well, so is kanesan when he asks: ]

You have a role, don't you?

[preceptive]

And you think this, because...?

[namelessfighter]

[ he didn't actually think this far ahead, but. ]

I've been told that there are some of us with special abilities, possibly with special rules to apply with them. While I don't know all of the details, I know that Escha was one of them, and that you always seem to be very well-informed during the trials. And then there's the matter of the bruises that you, Escha, and Beck all acquired last week and were unable to explain.

The special rules mean that you can't admit to it without being accused of it first, right? So, how about this: you, Kagachi, have been given a special role in this place, and the bruising you received is related to what you have been asked to do.

[ he'll fall quiet then, and wait for kagachi to answer. how wrong is he, here? ]

[preceptive]

[he pauses for a bit, before nodding.]

Yeah. Congrats. Not everything you said was right, but your reasoning should suffice.

[namelessfighter]

And of course, I can't ask you to confirm which parts unless I take a guess first.

[ but instead of doing that, he smiles at kagachi. ]

Then, thank you for all of your hard work, Kagachi. I trust you'll do all that you can to help those of us here.

[preceptive]

That goes without saying.

[...]

My turn. Do you have a role, Izuminokami? It seems a little odd that you keep getting notes, from what I've heard.

[namelessfighter]

Hmm... My understanding of the rules is that your question has to be more direct than that. Is that wrong?

[preceptive]

I think it's more about having a reason for suspicion than the exact phrasing. There's no difference between going up to everyone and asking "Do you have a role?" versus "You have a role, don't you?" if you're blindly guessing either way.

But all right. You have a role, don't you?

[namelessfighter]

Mm, that much is true - but I suppose there hasn't been much reasoning behind the accusations I've received yet, anyway.

Alright, then. Yes, I do have a role.

[preceptive]

And those notes are a part of it.

[namelessfighter]

That's right.

[preceptive]

Is it actually part of your role to find whoever's sending those letters?

[namelessfighter]

No. That was something I decided to do on my own, and our hosts confirmed that it may help us when I asked - that's all.

[preceptive]

Got it. Do you have to do a task before you get the notes?

[namelessfighter]

[ he nods! ]

[preceptive]

Does your role start with a C?

[namelessfighter]

...Has Junpei shared my last note with you, then?

[ that's not an answer ]

[preceptive]

[he nods.]

[namelessfighter]

[ of course. it's always junpei. ]

Then yes, that would be me.

[preceptive]

[it is always junpei.]

So you're one of the solo roles. Is your title a term you've heard before?

[namelessfighter]

It is. Although it may have a different meaning here than as I know it.

[preceptive]

[i don't know why i asked because i'm not going to figure it out]

I see. Well, knowing what this place is like...

[namelessfighter]

Then it's probably something sexual.

[ a nod. he Knows. ]

But I would have to ask to know for sure, and that could give it away, couldn't it? It's just a title, anyway. It isn't that important.

[preceptive]

Since you're the only one in that role, yeah. Though it would've been nice to fill in the last blank.
