I think everyone who's been approached by this group has said yes. No one refused to join after learning about all of this.

[Including me.... (sigh)]

[steelo]

[ he nods along with the others, and - oh, ducks his head a little at the hair ruffle. aw, jeez, in like the most affectionate way possible. ]

I was the last one, before you, Lucretia-san. [ There was no way I was going to leave them all hanging. ]

Kon got it, and Taichi probably has, too. The message from the dead helped - I think people are catching on, at least.

[ambiography]

Based on what we've discussed-- I don't think Sagihara is going to be very surprised it's you, either.

[so, you know, fair warning on that one.]

But I won't be confirming anything.

[illuminance]

At this point there are very few names you could give that would surprise me. It's an unpleasant reputation to have.

[ But not an unfair one. ]

[lifeless]

[Manwol frowns,]

It's not something you asked for. [If it weren't for you then how much worse off would we all be?] But yes, no one else knows about Dimitri or me -- and Ichiro, of course. I helped kill Leo, but...

[she looks away]

Well, I did my best to cover my tracks then. And we were all distracted by Otome's death, so.

[steelo]

[ his expression tightens just a little at the mention of leo, but, otherwise, ichiro's thoughts stay quiet. ]

...right. So that helps, too. And - obviously knows about you, either, Lucretia-san.

[ambiography]

If they did, I think we'd have a pretty big problem on our hands.

[I doubt they'll end up suspecting, anyway. it feels like a breach of the trust anyone else has in her, but--

some things have to be done.]

...who else dies will factor in to all of this. Like you said-- Otome's death was distracting, but I think Sagihara's will be, too.

[illuminance]

[ lux has nothing more to say on this, and just nods with understanding. ]

[lifeless]

[Who else dies, huh... It's not something Manwol wants to ruminate on, but she does anyway. It's a little like they've all been doing week after week. Who will it be this time? Who will die next?

Joining the others in this hasn't helped settle these fears any less. Knowing Sakyou will die this week makes it feel worse.]

You'll get to meet our source later too -- probably on Friday. They don't seem to know much more than us, but they've been here since all of this -- [she gestures vaguely to their little group] started.
