Again but for real this time | Yajiro | Trial 4 | ATTN: Boufana, anyone
Well THIS was an interesting location… Pretty cool, honestly. Or pretty hot, actually. Yajiro sort of wonders if it’s possible to like. Wreck it. Not that he’s about to. But he’s curious about what would happen.
Either way, all that stuff about being nervous about what’ll happen, tenseness, whatever? Yajiro is feeling none of that per the moment. A little bored from the long ride over here, but he’s been getting used to being bored lately. And by lately he means for the last few months, and entire chapters. Wild. Now though, even with his memories a little jumbled up, Yajiro’s ready to go with the trial. Does he had a concrete answer? Nah. Will he enjoy talking it out anyways? Heck yeah...
“Hey, so! First off, question: Where’s Fukai? And what’s her status?” Yajiro asks with a smile directly at Boufana.
What tf are you doing to her. Because uh, girl, stabbed. Nanomachines? Son. WAIT, SHE HAD CALLED HIM HER SON, TECHNICALLY. Okay he was getting majorly distracted now, that’s enough of that.
“Thennnn next I guess, just an fyi, the sword that stabbed Fukai came from an unused(?) cabin next to the two we were using to stay in. There were some gold leafed ones, but that one wasn’t, I think. Same collection though. That cabin’s not far at all from where Fukai was stabbed, it’s actually really close. If anyone else saw anything when that happened, or like. Someone carrying a katana or whatever it was, feel free to speak up. About anything else too, of course.”
You were the one everyone saw near her when they came, y’know Yajiro. Was there something else about that? Well, there was the weird shit he’d seen, but he had no idea wtf was happening there actually. He’s not convinces reality is working properly at the current moment. Or at least the common definition of was working properly was, to his knowledge. He’s been teetering on the edge of dissociation for awhile, but he could still try to puzzle this (hah) out at least somewhat, from what he remembers.
“Uhhhhh, other than that, Kaoru-kun was actually dead, found in the lake and all, had a slit throat AND a knife in his chest, nice, nice… Uhhh the rope tied on his ankle or whatever was cut off on one side near the knot and not the dangly bit. It was like the one we found before in the shed. So presumably it’s the other side of it. Unless it was the same one, somehow. Or like, a second cut rope. Uh. Hopefully someone else checked on that.”
Since he sure hadn’t. Probably should’ve. Honestly, this was all so spread out that he was already forgetting wtf had even happened previously. HAD he checked that? He… doesn’t actually know.
“Only thing I could tell about it was that whoever tied it knew how to tie a good frickin knot! A+, knotcrafting’s an art, or something. Oh! But it DID seem like the knife in ‘em was probably the one we saw that was missing before? In the holster…. Thing. You know. Shed. Uh…. that’s all I got for the moment. Someone else feel free to fill in the gaps, lmao.”
Thanks. Don’t say lmao out loud, having Boufana do it is bad enough, Yajiro. He might remember something else spontaneously later, but in the meantime he’ll save his less factual theorycrafting for after someone else takes a shot at evidence dump, in case there’s a bunch of stuff he missed. Or forgot. Both are pretty possible.
