[soba]

[ wow!!! shock!!!

but he will open the door and then step aside so she can come in. ]

Yo.

[cluedin]

Good morning, sir. [She'll enter through room almost tentatively. ] How may I help you today?

[soba]

I just have some questions.

... unsurprisingly.

[cluedin]

Unsurprisingly. [There's a light smile.] I'll answer what I can. What are your questions?

[soba]

You guys obviously knew something was going to happen.

[ it was like. way too organized, starting with haruka's death, for it to be a complete surprise ]

But how much did you already know? That people are going to die from the beginning?

[cluedin]

[It's not like she wasn't expecting this question but she frowns anyway. ]

We were hoping that this wouldn't happen. But we had to take precautions to be prepared in case it did.

[soba]

So you weren't completely sure...?

[cluedin]

No. We didn't really know until after everything already happened that night.

[soba]

Well, even if you're lying it's not like you'd admit to it...

You guys mentioned that the rules just change on their own.

[cluedin]

[A shrug. ]

The rules can change at any time for the sake of the house and the guests in it. It's our job to make sure the rules are followed.

[soba]

But who's changing them? Or do they really just change on their own?

[cluedin]

If you found who was responsible, what would you do, sir?

[soba]

Stop calling me sir.

[ ... ]

But since attacking you guys seems to do nothing, I'm guess the same wold happen, right?

[cluedin]

That's a good guess, yes.

[She tilts her head.] ...Toi then?

[soba]

Or Kuji. Whichever.

[ she's already better than plum for agreeing ]

[cluedin]

As you wish, Kuji. [She's going to eventually call him Toi later but for now since he suggested it she'll go with Kuji.]

...we do apologize for the turn of events.

[soba]

No. This is more or less how my luck tends to be.

[ he's still

very mad

but he's also just "well of fucking COURSE i'd be taken to a murder mansion" ]

[cluedin]

Do you often experience drastic changes like this then? [She remembers their last conversation and admittedly she's curious about what Toi's used to. ]

[soba]

Yes.

I'd like it to stop.

[cluedin]

How did things like this start in the first place? Where you're from, I mean.

[soba]

By breaking statues...

[ he's internally closing his eyes ]

[cluedin]

By--huh? [Uh. Toi???] Why would you do something like that?

[soba]

It wasn't on purpose! It got in the way.

[ no it didn't ]

[cluedin]

In the way of what? That sounds pretty rude of it.

[...is she teasing him? Maybe.]

[soba]

Shut up!

[ he grumbles.... rude ]

It just wasn't a normal statue.
