And I guess if it didn't look the way that it did, you all may not have been as incentivized to fight it.

[ there's an offense at seeing something steal the features of people you care for, otherwise you could just easily have run away. ]

[aerodynamic]

Probably not. I mean it was sorta in our way so we couldn't leave anyway, but... I was definitely getting tired of this place using Saki-senpai's face to try and freak me out. She would've hated seeing herself like that, too.

[oversea]

I see...

She's a friend of yours, then?

[aerodynamic]

Something like that. She mattered to me. [ knowing what he knows now, it's hard to call saki a friend mutually even if he would say yes. ] She was murdered last spring, we spent the last year trying to solve the case and catch the serial killer.

[oversea]

Ah.

[ yosuke is so young. ]

Did you?

[aerodynamic]

[ somehow that's always the response that seems to get. but he nods slowly. ]

It took us months, but we stopped him from getting other people killed and beat him. He's been arrested and he's waiting for his hearing still.

[oversea]

... The system shouldn't have failed you for it to come down to you to figure it out.

[ thorns doesn't think the youth is incapable, considering his own upbringing, but having to solve your friend's murder at any age is rough. ]

[aerodynamic]

[ this is probably the first time someone has actually phrased it that way, so there's a blink of surprise before his expression grows quieter. ]

At the time, with the nature of the crimes? We were the only ones who could. But it didn't help that the cops had someone among themselves working against them. [ ... that aside: ] This part of the maze seems to keep wanting to remind me of her. I don't know about the other three and how it might've changed things for them, but for all we know it went back to respawn in the fog for later.
