Any one of us wouldn't hesitate to stab anybody who tries to hurt him, but I know that what he wants isn't protection— it's answers. And answers are things you have to seek out yourself, you can't just wait and hope they come to you.
So... How can I help?
[ he's not going to just sit quietly on the side lines and be moral support. tama can't possibly imagine him doing that, can she? ]
Yeah, he'd be furious if you or Datz stabbed someone for him. Don't put yourself at risk like that. [ losing more of his mice... she doesn't want to think what that would do it him. ]
Someone told me we have to be on the look out for things that don't fit here. I'm not fully sure if I've found any yet, but do you remember those notes in the bento boxes the other week? It could be something like that.
[ ? it's no risk when the other person will be dead, dwbi ]
Oh... [ he hadn't thought about the bento notes in a while, just sort of wiped everything from his mind every Saturday evening like when you brain dump for an exam and walk out head empty ]
Yeah, that did seem like more of a hint from an outside party. Do you think maybe it's Addy?
Haha... [ he looks a little sheepish at that, because. yeah. ]
I think it's worth considering. I was trying to get you alone, and this "Addy" still caught sight of us. There was that bit about the trial too, remember? I doubt any of us would have reported to the media about what happened.
[ not them, not the leaders. it's why he asked Mouse to ask Tama about potential camera set up inside the courtroom ]
...nobody gave you any trouble over that article, did they?
[ he would stab for you too, tama, he won't hesitate ]
I think they publish a lot of responses. If you wanted to, you could try something no to important — just ask them a fake question or even how they’re doing?
[ ryuki does bear humiliation like a champ. bless him. ]

Do you? Whoever writes the papers seems to be really fond of you -- especially if you go off that article that ran this week.
[ the one where they basically cooed over hanako and called her evil, that one ]

[ please don't stab for her, she'd be as upset as ryuki would be.
interesting though. ]
When I spoke to one of the people at execution that first week, they had no idea what had happened in the courtroom. But "Addy" does?
[ hmm. ]
They seem really fond of you though. You did make a pretty big entrance here though -- twice over.

Do you think maybe I'd get a response if I wrote to them? They published Ryuki's attempt...
[ he doesn't know if he can stand the humiliation quite as well as Ryuki does ]

...I'll give that a try. These are anonymous letters, anyways.
[ looks at Ryuki who signed his letter. looks away. ]
no subject
Yeah, there’s no harm. I’m kinda curious about the replies as well, a lot of them seem to be cutting off abruptly.

How long would that take to arrive?
no subject
Mm... Two to three weeks?
[ That's about how long mail takes, optimistically ]

Well, we’re on a time limit either way.
