Interrogation: Side B (23-26/07)

[dollgram]

It's time for our last written interrogation for this trial! Kinda makes you sad it's almost over, right? ...Well, I guess there's two more after this. But still!

Right, right– you'll be asking questions to ■■■ ■■■ ■■■■ once again. That ■■■■ girl seems like an open-and-shut case, huh? If you think so, you should try aiming your questions at the other one this time. ...Okay, okay, I get it, it's your job, don't look at me like that. Jeez, I AM supposed to be a guide, you know?

[dollgram]

I guess let’s play a game of girl dissection after all, come on. Drawing out these burning emotions for each other, from within. How stupid. Your unwillingness is irresistible to me. I wonder if our misunderstanding will be resolved.

Q. 10 - IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WOULD YOU DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY?

At that time, she had refused to answer. She was too proud to say yes. This unhappy conclusion wasn't anyone's wish, least of all hers. But it hurt to admit that she could have found a happier ending. By saying “Everything was doomed from the start,” she could rid herself of blame.

Q. 11 - IF YOU COULD MEET YOUR VICTIM, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY OR DO?

She feigned ignorance, pretending to have never met her before. That's just the kind of person she was. As for the person who died, she would have done the same if she were to meet them, too. Though I guess it would be less dishonest, then.

Q. 12 - IF YOU HAD ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Indeed, what should I do now? This timeless bubble won't last, but I should make the most of it, right? And yet, I can't think of a single thing I'd like to do. In that regard, I suppose I'm not so different from her.

[dollgram]

Q. 07 - WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE HAPPENING TO YOU IF ■■■■ DIDN'T EXIST?

Right. It was a different name, back then. She would have gone back home, and never told anyone about what happened that night. She would probably never forget it. Maybe she'd convince herself it wasn't her fault. In any case, she would certainly quit her “hobby”.

Q. 08 - DO YOU HAVE ANYONE WAITING FOR YOU BACK HOME?

Big brother. That is, she had an older brother who loved her very much. It was thanks to him that she had a roof over her head at all.

Q. 09 - DO YOU HAVE A GOOD HOME LIFE?

No. Never did. To be honest, I can hardly remember the details. Not that I tried very hard. It's upsetting to think about. I'm sure I'll remember it eventually, even if I don't want to.

[dollgram]

Q. 04 - WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?

She hated dreaming. Always said it was pointless, and would only lead to disappointment. That's why I can't think of any specific wishes she might have had. She would say she had none, but I don't think that's possible. Maybe it's enough to say she wished to feel safe.

Q. 05 - WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A BAD PERSON?

To her, this question was a difficult one to answer. Every single person was evil. Perhaps not in the same ways, or to the same extents, but that was simply a matter of opportunity (or lack thereof). In the end, she answered: “to be human.”

Q. 06 - DOES ANYONE HERE SCARE YOU?

It was a silly question. Everyone scared her. In that place, however, there were two people who scared her more than usual. I can remember one quite clearly, but the other is nothing more than a vague silhouette. I'm sure something happened between him and her. Ah. The Warden was scary, too. Not like me.

[dollgram]

Q. 01 - WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?

An old, child-sized umbrella. It was a gift from a dear friend, carefully hidden from view in her closet. Every now and then, she would bring it out to clear the dust off of it. Why did she hold onto it all that time? Looking at it only ever made her heart ache.

Q. 02 - WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE?

It's not that people have favorite places, it's that they associate those places with certain people or events. Broadly speaking, of course. In that way, they are more like favorite memories. As for her, there wasn't a single memory she would mind forgetting.

Q. 03 - WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR NAME?

It could mean any number of things. Her parents had decided to keep it simple, so it didn't have a specific meaning. In informal settings, she liked to spell it as what soon became her favorite kanji: 霊 (spirit).

i had an idea for nobuis vd title but i looked it up to make sure i wasnt falling for a made up internet quote and i found a movie with the exact same title (the movie is referencing the same quote in referencing) so im pissed. reviewing my legal options

[dollgram]

Alright, it's time to begin the ■■■■■■ interrogation! This time you'll be asking questions to ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■. Though I already know your opinions on this matter, you should remember that ■■■■ have a life outside ■■■■ crime. Perhaps this is the time to get to know ■■■■ better?

Just as the first interrogation, there will be two phases. ■■■ ■■■■■■■■■ will answer 12 questions now, ■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■. You may send your questions through the [ASKBOX].

[dollgram]

@dollgram

okay not bye

"Alright, it's time to begin the ■■■■■■ interrogation!"

comparing to other announcement about interrogation "Warden, it's time to begin the second interrogation"

you know what i think. i think the hidden word is "secret"

"This time you'll be asking questions to ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■"

jackie always refers to prisoners as prisoner number [x] but this one either seems to be pronouncing their names, xxxx and xxx, or if it's numbers, then the four letters are nine (S' number), and the three letters are ten, which implies that someone is being held hostage as 10th prisoner

"Though I already know your opinions on this matter, you should remember that ■■■■ have a life outside ■■■■ crime. Perhaps this is the time to get to know ■■■■ better?"

they, past?, them

"Just as the first interrogation, there will be two phases. ■■■ ■■■■■■■■■ will answer 12 questions now, ■■■ ■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■. You may send your questions through the [ASKBOX]."

the first blacked out text is the name, the rest is, comparing to another announcement:

"The prisoners will answer 12 questions now, and 12 more later down the line."

"and 12 more later"

S is monochromatic and her dead wife running in the flower field is fully colored, she only thinks her dead wife is important etc fork found in kitchen

they seem to be childhood friends and umbrella girl founds her hiding in the alley which implies that S definitely didn't have a good household situation, she protects her with umbrella and S clings onto this image as that was the only source of care for her in that moment

at the start S is shown to protect herself with umbrella and remember the image of umbrella girl who protected her, the very umbrella itself symbolizes the umbrella girl, or the lack of her presence, this will be relevant later

then they are shown to be on train platform with umbrella girl leaving, they also have matching plushies now with S having the fox and umbrella girl having a rabbit,

fox and rabbit predator and prey whatever fork found in kitchen

I assume umbrella girl left for education or career or something either way she left S behind and started to pursue her own life separate from S, she's shown to be laughing with someone else to symbolize that she's happy in her life that doesn't have S in it

reversed heart necklace

childhood (?) photos and a love letter, then a broken window and a plush toy torn apart with a knife, then S sitting on the floor, maybe she started destroying her room to destroy the things that remind her of umbrella girl? also she's sitting in a pose similar to how she was sitting when umbrella girl found her for the first time

she's shown to be sitting in front of a rabbit who belonged to umbrella girl

in the end S closes the umbrella, rejecting umbrella girl and the protection that she provided for her in the past

then she's shown to become the warden but we know that S was a prisoner before becoming a warden I went into further talk about it here so she's cutting out a part of her memories

also warden S has heterochromia and in the flashback she doesn't style her bangs covering one eye, but at the end when she closes the umbrella, only one eye is shown and it's the red one

because she's Evil...

ok bye

WAAHHHH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL TYSM

im too tired to write proper thoughts rn but !!!! i love it so much. i love you <3<3

@dollgram

i mentioned this in my general jun post but i really need to emphasize this:

first off i dont remember if i mentioned this but i keep on thinking about this all the time: in my original jun post i theorized that this scene is school graduation but like a few months after writing this i realized its a beauty contest. her mother didn't come to it because she treated jun as a replacement/extension of herself and got mad that jun's beauty got acknowledged outside of her

after this we get a sequence of jun having suggestive photos (in contrast to having cute and lighthearted photos at the beginning). i think her mother definitely stopped producing her career after this but i'm not sure if she gave her away to some other producer/agency or if jun became an independent model (really scary to think jun might have canonically had an onlyfans)

jun very much doesn't feel good about being a "grown-up" i think a lot of it is because her mother stopped caring for her but...

i'm thinking about her having loose hair and torn clothes and not wearing shoes at the end, which symbolizes a loss of innocence/purity generally connected to her becoming an "adult", but the combination of torn clothes and no shoes reads as sexual abuse

model/idol/actor/etc. industry being sexual abuse torment labyrinth in general is no news, a part of it is how much it boils women down to their bodies and specifically the attractiveness of their bodies

i think she might have experienced it as a child as well because i would be surprised if not but it's this specific sequence of events that she becomes a suggestive model after her mother abandoning her, before that she could have at least had an illusion of her mother possibly protecting her. she's left alone with the outside world and finds out that people don't think she's an actor, she's no more than a body to be exploited
