Neither have I. But there is something all the letters have in common. Did you notice?

Indecipherable emojis.

[. . . yeah]

[... POINTEDLY STARES AT HIM.

IS THAT YOUR FINAL ANSWER, AKIRA?]

[survivaltricks]

[YES]

[just stares at Akechi like, please give him the answer he isn't that smart]

[miscakes]

[................. stares into the void.]

The house, Akira. I am referring to the decrepit house.

[survivaltricks]

[how did Akira one-up Akechi nobody will ever know]

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?

[miscakes]

[Because friendship is a SCAM and Akira is a cheater.]

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.

[survivaltricks]

[join the friendship fold, Akechi]

I've been thinking about it ever since I talked to Beau. It does add up.

[though they'll discuss this more in depth later with Ken]

Plum did say that the announcements each week-- the motives-- were coming from within the house.

[miscakes]

She did. So what's your interpretation?

[And then their conversation with Ken makes this 2984320923 times worse.]

I initially thought she was talking about the ghosts. But now that I think about it. . .

It'd make sense if it was the house itself. If we do assume that the house itself is alive.
