In general, Mister Barnes has not really made himself a very favorable ally. I imagine that would be part of it. When you do not have answers, you pick whomever is least popular.
Isn't that what occurred at the station once as well?
That's the risk with these trials, and likely why they're a staple of these games. There's always the possibility that you're wrong and people will suffer.
[...there's a sigh then.] However, I do actually agree with you on that. It's foolish to draw further attention on yourself when you're under fire.
Is there reason to suspect culprits would tend to leave things in their rooms? In other words, it would seem to be a leap in logic to think that, simply because no suspicious evidence was found in someone's room, they are innocent. And yet, given that we have frequently found evidence in the rooms, and given the nature of my role, I wonder if there is not something like...an unofficial rule.
...are you asking if there's a rule in place that they must leave something behind? Because the answer is no, as far as I'm aware. [...] If anything, I imagine it has more to do with the fact that a bedroom is much more versatile than a normal location. Plenty of places to hide things, plenty of compartments to be easily overlooked.
Not to mention that you have to come to the conclusion someone is suspicious enough to check their room in the first place.
It would seem like a likely place to leave something, except after two weeks in a row with something incriminating left behind, you would imagine some reticence to do so.
[a sigh.]
Then truly the only discrepancy remaining is why we could not find any razor that evinced use.
Every criminal does not wish to be caught. So you must look at every case from their perspective, thinking of even the most irrational conclusions. [a pause.] So long as you don't grow stuck on one theory for too long once proven implausible.
The latter, primarily. Though the former as well. We never really developed a theory of what exactly happened to Alphinaud, so it is hard to see through the killer's perspective.
...I do wish we were at liberty to discuss previous cases. [they sound disappointed, actually.] Though I imagine not having his body right away also made things a little more difficult.
It seems to me that some portions of these cases are more relevant than others. Finer details to build the full picture, but not always so necessary to need to understand for the answer. Perhaps those were in that same vein, perhaps they were not.
So maybe the soda was not relevant, but I do think we were meant to glean something from the peculiar pattern of injuries he had - the bruises and the burn. I'm simply not sure what.
It's difficult to decipher in the aftermath of it all...but it gives you insight of how to approach the next week. That, I think, is still valuable knowledge.

Good afternoon, Miss Nonagesimus. [...they will actually flip through a book a bit. hi harrow.]

I don't suppose that went as expected.

I must admit, I think my choice to take boots played a role. It kept coming up - I thought it would be obvious it was only a distraction.
[she doesn't feel guilt, just frustration.]
From my perspective, I still believe Kim Dokja to have been the culprit. I'm not sure why everyone decided to focus on Barnes.

I think Bucky Barnes ought to have known better and has himself at least in part to blame.

May I ask you something I suspect you will be unable to answer?

[there's a nod.]
As you'd like. You won't know until you try to ask.

Well, it is possible for a weapon to be cleaned, or exchanged somehow, but. I don't know.

I don't disagree with you, but I think we struggled this time to put events together.

In terms of a timeline? Or how the evidence you found strung together?
