At any rate...if you come through here, you can see the four rooms. Ah, there's a copy of that charter in each of the rooms, but the interesting document about one of the being thrown out is in this room here...
[ she tends to let people find their own way in investigations but gentling someone along works? ]
The weight of the universes being placed on anyone's shoulders should be heavy... It wouldn't be strange for someone to act out of self-preservation.
[ He will never fucking understand how these things always disappear back to where they originally were... Let alone all of Jim's notes being censored by candy (curse you, edgelord), but he finds it normal. ]
But I still wonder if there's more to the story than just that. How much should we really believe?
Mmm...it isn't good to discount something entirely. But by the same coin, it's not good to trust it entirely, either. We have to take in what we learn and doubt it, but also accept that it might be true...it's only by continually questioning our assumptions as we search for the truth that we can reach the actual outcome, I believe.
Which part? I do believe that a "story" is being formed out of all we've learned, but I don't know how I feel about that story. Perhaps I should give it more thought, but...I don't know if my feelings will be settled until I have the full truth?
[ He just has met with many that have forced themselves to stomach it and others that continue to fight it, but this kind of feels like something she would say. He hasn't known her for long, but it just Feels Right. ]
Sometimes I wonder if there's any way for us to really investigate further than letting the story unravel before us... I've broken into Retrospec a couple of times, but it seems strategically organized to foreshadow a small bit.
No, I checked out everything I wished to last time. I wasn't certain if it would stay put to investigate later, you see, so I just looked it all over at once...
Mm, that'd be best...since you're the one who is supposed to protect me from slenderman? But you were a decent investigation partner...I wouldn't mind doing this again at some point.
I wouldn't call myself much of an assistant or partner in this investigation... But I can stick to bodyguard if you want me to protect you from slenderman.
[ Panoramic photos are great, so he'll take one with his phone, then several individual shots of every room and crevice. ]
Tacticians are still important, but you can count on me.
[ When they're done taking their photos in every single room, Akira will lead them back out. It may not be that late, but it does get dark a lot earlier in this season. ]
Not sure... But you're not the type to scare easily, right?
[ Let him pull out a lantern for them. Let there be light!! ]
All right. I hope you don't mind the help of another gentleman.
[ Because there's no way they should walk home in the dark forest like this. With the snap of his fingers, Satanael appears in his demon lord glory to pick them up, one on each arm. ]
Hold on tight.
[ Satanael may not be able to fly just yet, but he can speed through the forest and hopefully drop them off halfway through. ]
[ DEMONS CAN BE GOOD COMPANY... A coin flip says that Akira's stamina is capable of taking them outside of the forest is less than two hours. He'll escort her back on foot though. ]
I don't think most people would use a demon lord as a taxi, but I don't see why not. Now shall we, Miss Kirigiri?

The letter should still rest in it, right? ]

Mm...it seems he may not have agreed with the course the other three wished to take?

[ It makes sense to him for the most part. ]
I'm luckily not deep in denial, so all of this is rather easy to digest at this point. How do you feel about all of this?

Might as well take a second round of pictures just in case we missed anything... It might be good to look at it again later.
[ Throwing his hands up now. ]
But that means investigation complete! It's time to head back before slenderman gets us.

We can probably outrun him, though...

[ since they're there, kyouko will take a few phone pictures as well, although she's more discerning as to what she's photographing. ]
Is slenderman meant to be slow, then?
