I know. I was plenty chummy with Elysia, and Zhongli was a solid guy. I would miss anyone that went, but those two... [He takes a deep sigh. Staring out into nothing, feeling some kind of way.] Won't be the same without them.
...Before we get too maudlin, I do have to ask: you didn't wake up with any strange injuries, did you?
[Regrettably he must use his teeth to pull back his sleeve. Voila! Une bruise, on his forearm.]
Anders and I have one, and we were at the funhouse. Majima and Daigo have them, and they were at the diner. Taair, Claude, and Basilio also have them, but they were at the flower garden.
It's a real broad spread, and so far it sounds like only men were hit up. They didn't bruise every person in every location.
Exactly. Leads me to think one of the killers may have doubled back, marking up people who could end up in a suspect line with them as they found them.
... Why would they go to the flower garden? The diner and the funhouse were in the same area that the deceased were found. There would be no reason at all to go so far away from the scene of the murder. Unless...
You think they might have started from the flower garden?
[Richie hums, nodding.]
It's possible. But I also haven't spoken to people from every location. I'm assuming it's more than just those three. There could be more. And if there is, I'd say the person deliberately tracked everyone down after the killing was done. You'd need a lot of extra time to cover that kind of ground.
I can understand if they came across a number of people by looking around their vicinity... but it would be quite strange for them to go all the way to the flower garden if they did not already know there were people there.

All right. I'll take your word for it.
Mind a little company?

[He takes a seat at her side, mood lifting ever so slightly. Let's not diminish the losses here, but Eupha is such a sweetie.]
I'd offer you a penny for your thoughts, but I left my wallet in my other pants. Something you want to talk about?

... I suppose I just feel shocked, is all. Both of them were very dear to me. And... I had hoped we would not see two slain in one night again.

[ well. something from earlier makes more sense now. ]
That's very strange, though... Those places are so far apart.
