Murder Weapon

[enthrallingly]

Alright everyone, I believe I have discovered what happened while I was unconscious.

Nanami and I were saved from the brink of death after Zack tried to murder us both-- and the only person who could have done that was Tamamo herself. With her own ~incredible~ Noble Phantasm.

Not because Tamamo cared about our lives, of course. But because she needed to be the one who killed in order to reap the benefit of the motive. As you can see I have verified the murder weapon. The piece I found came from that sneaky fox's mirror. Naturally she tried to dispose of it in a location far from the crime scene-- however, she did not realize that before I passed out, I was able to grab one of the shards and protect it. After all-- it was my lifeline... the only thing I had to defend my innocence.

She could only use the power once-- so it didn't matter if the mirror got smashed afterwards. It already served it's purpose.

[mikooon]

What nonsense! Are you insinuating I would destroy my own precious mirror?

[enthrallingly]

After it served it's use? Yes. I do. After all-- it is nowhere near as precious as your dear husband.

Furthermore-- no one else could have used it or had powers like it after all.

[mikooon]

Even if no one else had powers like it, who can say that you and Zack are even speaking the truth?

Surely, amongst the three of us, the most sensible decision would be to trust the least suspicious character.

[enthrallingly]

Hmph. Unfortunately for you the evidence is on our side. The injuries he made are nowhere to be seen, despite the damage he did to both of our clothes.

And the blood is proof enough that the crime scene was changed.

We don't know for sure that she's the only one who could have used the mirror's healing power. I mean, she wasn't sure if anyone else could do it, and it's not like we can test it now, but it's possible the power belonged to the mirror and could have been used by anyone who had it.

[hawthorned]

I wouldn't know... because I haven't played the game, but if there are other characters within the arcade game that Miss Tamamo is in who have access to the mirror and it works for them, shouldn't that prove it would theoretically work for any of us?

[theotherother]

..did anyone play the game? I didn't.

[Him and video games don't get along after last week.]

[crossingout]

I didn't either, but I should like to note that last week, Chiaki-chan was in the arcade practically all the time. She even said that she was this... "Super High School Level Gamer", or something like that.

[theotherother]

[Okay, that sounds incredibly stupid to him. And he comes from a world with names like Stilt-Man and Frog Man and a whole bunch of other dumb stuff.]

...so, maybe if there's something about the mirror, she'd have known...which means you'd get rid of her, that way probably nobody else knows.

[He's just trying to piece this one together in his head.]

[crossingout]

Maybe... I can't prove one way or another that she played it or not.

[buylowsellhigh]

Um... this is gonna sound kinda mean but... why would Tamamo not kill you too? I mean... it's one less witness. Plus, since Zack tried to kill the both of you, then the real killer could just let him think he succeeded if they killed both you and Chiaki.

[enthrallingly]

Out of all of this, that's your problem?

[Okay maybe she's just a little offended that "you should have died" is the line of question here.]

Anyway, Tamamo didn't have a blade so she couldn't have recreated the wounds Zack had made. So the evidence was never going to line up.

As for why she didn't kill me... probably just another person she could try to throw under the bus if people didn't fall for the idea that Zack did it.
