[Hmm... He glances at his other hand. Is it similarly burnt?]

Have you spoken to Fotia-san yet?

[unanswering]

[it sure is!]

I haven't, no.

[miscakes]

Then, it may be worth your time to seek him out.

[He lets go of his hand, then.]

Did you notice anything else outside of that room?

[unanswering]

No, I can't say that I did this time. Have you?

[the hand goes right back in his sleeve.]

[miscakes]

[He nods.]

Hunter, Shima-san and I found blood on the kitchen floor.

[unanswering]

...then maybe it's a good thing I didn't...

[always with the BLOOD.]

It's a good place to start, at least.

[miscakes]

[BUDDY...]

Yes. I would ask you to accompany me tomorrow, but that doesn't seem like a good idea.

[unanswering]

I- already promised to assist with something else, as well.

[so he's not making too many plans.]

[miscakes]

Oh? [Giving him a curious look.] What will you be helping with?

[unanswering]

...Beau said she wanted to be the one to look at his body, tomorrow.

[he's moral support.]

[miscakes]

[... Oh. Yeah. That tracks.]

... I see. [Sympathetically.] Do you know where Beauregard-san is right now? I wanted to speak with her, but I can't seem to find her.

[unanswering]

She was in her room, earlier, but- she said she didn't think she'd be very helpful today.

[a pause, and-]

If there's anything you need from her that can't wait, go ahead, but otherwise... please don't trouble her with too much.

[miscakes]

... I understand.

[Beau... :(]

Have you heard anything from the others?

[unanswering]

Which others- the ones I stayed with?

[his head tilts slightly, there.]

Or just in general... I really haven't spoken with many people so far, so I haven't heard anything else.

[miscakes]

In general. [But he already said he didn't, then...] But, if you haven't heard anything else, do you know if someone else received a note this week?
