Ahaha, but we still don't know whose goats they really are, do we? They're related to the Witches, but I don't really trust them as far as I can throw them! Well, maybe as far as Takumi can throw them.
[Having him throw things is a bad comparison and a bad way of measuring trust, so let's drag one of the other doggos.
But also this is a disaster because everything he knows about goats he probably learned from this island and also the library. So. Welp. It certainly doesn't seem to deter him any, though, and he raises a finger next with a half-grin.]
The same way it's hidden all the time, isn't it? I bet you anything that anybody out in the garden that night probably walked right by the scene.
Is it usually hidden? We usually just don't see it until morning because we're all asleep from the time it happens until then. They wouldn't need to use any extra magic to conceal anything unless the killer decided to do it before midnight.
[ Seems like that would be a waste of magical energy... ]
I wonder if that's true though, if that's how it would have been for a passerby this time.
I guess that's something nobody would know unless they tried it. I don't think any of the magic or whatever it is that's actually used around the crime scene is easy to spot except by the Witches and their active Pieces at the right moment.
Hmm, and I guess Akira really didn't feel like being helpful.
[He says this with a vague shrug, even as he crouches and peers at the wicked spikes at eye-level, making a faintly impressed noise about it.]
In all seriousness, though, at this point, there's nothing I feel like I need to wish for. The smaller, pettier things aren't worth risking getting caught over, and the bigger things are things I know better than to try to go back and change.
[ The benefits of knowing about different timelines and having time traveling friends.
And of not being human, probably. ]
I really doubt that's true for everyone here, though. [ Also looking at that fence now... it obviously hadn't been true for Akira. ] That doctor especially seems like he's on the verge of snapping from whatever guilt he's dealing with.
[No honor among thieves, no promises between demons, or whatever. He doesn't seem to have any issue with them just flapping their gums about it.]
Doc definitely seems like he's about to go off the deep end, huh? He said something about being a prisoner or something, so I guess we have a lot of those here? [he raises his shoulders in a shrug] But it could be one of the others, too, somebody you wouldn't expect. After all, most people probably didn't expect Horns to skewer his mask friend.
In the end, it depends on whether the Pieces think they have the power to change things on their own, or how reliable their Witch is. It'd be a lot easier if Watanuki were more reliable.

Well, right back at you, too. I don't know if you have any unfinished business, but the older you get, the crazier all of that gets, doesn't it?
[Hey, at last he didn't actually call her grandma like I keep threatening. He's just stating it matter-of-factly.]
Nirrti really went all out at the beginning of the week, too.
[Like, nobody's really come out and said it but hoo boy, motive.]

You know, I would have promised never to target you if you hadn't just called me old, but...
