[HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SAID THAT THIS GAME KYUU]
She said the announcements were coming from inside the house. I asked if it was a single person, and she asked me if the announcements sounded as though they come from different people. I responded that they have. . . and she confirmed that yeah, they're all from different people.
The deceased. It's the most simple explanation. Still, I wonder... [Hmm. It looks like he's mulling over something, but ultimately, he follows up with:] Have you taken a look at the letters the others received from the dead?
I asked her if it was the ghosts, and she asked me if any of the ghosts I met seemed like the type to make those announcements. The answer to that, of course, is no.

The house, Akira. I am referring to the decrepit house.
no subject
Ah.
[he actually nods, less surprised by this than he could be]
Beau and I talked about that earlier. She thinks the house is feeding on our misery. Is that what you're hinting at, too?
no subject
In a way. Beauregard-san's theory isn't too dissimilar to my own.
[How to explain, though... He lifts a hand to his chin.]
If you accept that the house itself is malevolent, certain things will begin to add up. Think about it.
