I got kind of stuck on the boots list, since it's the only thing that seemed to give us a list of names for Zhongli's case. Plus, there was frosting on the bottom of the shoes and Zhongli also had frosting on the bottom of his shoes.
After that, I got lost in all the bruises and misdirection.
Oh. Ah, well... my theory is... he was in the funhouse with Gabriel and it seems like he hurt his hand by Friday morning. I think he might've punched one of the mirrors and lost a memory...
[ just. yeah. yves definitely has enough faith in his abilities to say that his current injuries absolutely would not stop him from putting up a fight ]
... but Marcoh at least knew all my injuries, yes. Nothing looked new to him.
So, just saying first off, it relies on ignoring the shoe list anyway. I know Mizu never got cleared, but it wouldn't be as hard to use a sword and get away with it as a gun, so I think he'd have used it if it was him? And it sounds like the rest of the list was fine. Dunno if this means it's just way off base, we saw how off I was with the stupid hints last time, but.
...so the, uh, letters one? The J, I, Q, T? T was obviously the tea party part. I heard Taair yelling about an eye?? [she was distracted bc i was backreading at con] And that leaves J, Q. Lot of food involved in that one, and a kitchen, right? I saw the doc never got checked over. I just didn't think it was gonna matter, he-- fuck it, we both know what's been going on, I didn't think he could see enough to kill a guy.
I mean... there was a lot of discussion about what Koharu could or couldn't do while blind, but she's 15. Jiao's a seasoned veteran...
I guess we could watch his behavior over the next week? Do you think that maybe he... ate a cookie that made both his feet bigger or something for the shoes?

But do you think we can figure it out?

... I was paying more attention to Elysia's, anyway, so what'd we even have on his situation?

...hey, uh, was Jacopo on that list?
no subject
Yeah, why?

no subject
Mm. I'll ask Gabe. See if they're willing to open up about stuff that happened in private like that.
no subject
You can also check in with Jacopo later. They did a check of his hand injury against Zhongli's polearm slice and it wasn't a match.
no subject
[relieved? her? never.]
no subject
I didn't want it to be him either. I was the one checking his injuries but... at least based on those checks, it wasn't him.

[ so weird! ]
But I think I'm okay? If people suspect me again, I don't mind. I just don't know how to clear the air...
no subject
[yves.]
But somebody who was with you cleared you, right?
no subject
[ just. yeah. yves definitely has enough faith in his abilities to say that his current injuries absolutely would not stop him from putting up a fight ]

The only other suspicion I've got isn't based on much, and I don't really like it.

What is it?

[ hard to say now when trial is over and their item got used ]
Alright... Do we have any other suspects worth looking after?

I spend less time with Mizu though...

He's always been nice in his own way to me.
