They did some real shit to both of our teams. I'm... trying to puzzle it out. First thing we can do is look at the rankings on Monday. The last two slots are the only ones we can see, but that'll be telling.
[ a beat ]
Our team will probably be last. If second to last place changes, well. That says a lot. I'm not gonna accuse anyone, but I am going to look at that first.
Maybe. I'd be shocked if it was any of them, though. Besides, don't those rankings take into account points from other stuff? Sure, erasure's worth the most points, but...at the bottom of the pile, it might just be a matter of someone getting an extra point for the Wednesday stuff.
Please, like they even needed him as a weapon when they chopped Lambda up. A monkey bite is peanuts next to that.
It just depends on if taking the monkey to the murder was an attempt to frame Simon, or an accident that they then chopped the arm off to try and hide.

[ just pats her softly. ]
Were you doing okay...?
no subject
Are you kidding me? What kind of question is that? I wasn't the one up there today!
no subject
he just. laughs a little bit. can't help it. ]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry -
[ the look gets him. ]
- But I wanna check on you too. You already... kind of can guess how we're doing, right?
[ girl his eyes are so red and puffy shit's rough. ]
no subject
...Yeah, I know. It shouldn't have even been you guys in the first place. I'm just...glad you're safe.
no subject
I'm just... I'm sorry about Lambda, too, Val.
[ squeezes her shoulders gently. ]
I wish we'd figured it out. One of them at least.
no subject
...yeah. We weren't that close, but still...
I can't believe whoever did that to her is just...still walking around while you guys had to suffer for it.
no subject
I can't either. Both cases are awful, but... Lambda was literally just...
[ he shakes his head ]
Someone here's really messed up... but I don't wanna think about it right now. We've had a hell of a week.
no subject
If you think of anything that might help figure it out, though, let me know.

But I think it's still worth taking it into consideration.
[ then, flatly ] I still don't know why we stopped talking about the monkey.
no subject
I know Simon had nothing to do with it, but his monkey sure did. I just wish I could've figured out how before we ran out of time.
no subject
I'm sure if you held him out he'd bite anything, stressed or angry. He'd practically count as a weapon at that point...
[ eiden sees money as an innocent animal who is just Stressed or smth sometimes. it's fine. maybe someone used him as a literal weapon.
he blows a raspberry to the side because everything SUCKS. ]

if she lets him, hugs her again. ]
This has been the longest weekend of my life, and not even in the good way.
no subject
Every single weekend here is like that. I'm gonna be like eighty by the time this game is up.
no subject
You wanna go do something...? Try and just... relax a little bit?
no subject
Wanna...get mall pretzels and do our nails again?
no subject
[ patting her shoulder and then nodding in the direction of one of those dumb pretzel stands. ]
