[Comforting people really isn't in her skill set, so... This is what he gets from her.]

Kazuki, do you need anything?

For my teammate to be alive.

[ which no one can do. ]

Unfortunately, I have no way of doing that.

Then I need to know who went after them.

[ which... kyoko probably also doesn't know. that's for tomorrow. ]

We might have known this was coming, but I don't care. I want to find who did this to Setsu.

Understandable.

That's more doable. We can work on finding them tomorrow, when we have the evidence together.

Three is going to make it hard.
But honestly, I don't care about the two. Setsu has been doing so much for our team from the start. They didn't deserve this.

It is.

[Miserable. But at least it isn't four.]

It's reasonable to care more about your own teammate.

We're going to find them tomorrow. We have to. We owe it to Setsu.

Nine hours to use wisely.
It seems they were found in the tunnels. Start there.

Someone tried to get rid of the evidence. They have to know we're coming for them.

No killer ever wants to be found. I'm wondering if the scorch marks in Valerie's case and Setsu's case might have something to do with each other.

There were scorch marks? For both of them?

Yes. Scorch marks on the floor and walls of Cold Topic. Scorch marks in the caves that Livio and Amelia looked at. I don't know exactly where.

Then maybe you're right. I guess that'll be one thing to do tomorrow - compare those.

It's just a theory, but we may as well look them over while we can.

It's not like we can do anything tonight except theorize, anyway.
I hate that we have to wait.

It's less than ideal.
If you're able, get some rest. It's difficult to think without enough sleep.

I'll try, but no promises.
I don't feel like I can right now, but maybe later. I have to try and make sure Jonas and Alex are getting by, too.

Trying is all I can ask.
Let me know if you need anything. I'll come by.

Just help us however you can tomorrow, okay? All we want is some answers.

I will.

Thanks, Kyoko-san. I'll make it up to you later, somehow.

You don't have to do that.

I know, but still. It's not like you haven't had a hard time, either.

True enough. [Can't really deflect her way out of a fact.]
Then, thank you.
