Oh, Nier! I was hoping I'd get a chance to talk to you - Thank YOU for taking care of Kainé as much as you do. Please understand I consider her very dear to me - I'll look after her as much as I'm able and then some.
[ It is a confusing game!! Anyway, Nier is cozier in his school uniform with a blazer and he is trying to bowl. Some pins go down first before he waves at Viola!! He is over here! ]
Ah, that's good. I'm glad. I'm... [she hums thoughtfully at that] I'm doing as well as anyone can be, given the circumstances. It's been a bit of a confusing week on top of that.
because first, her expression softens, even if it becomes just a little complicated]
... then I'm counting on you.
She's dear to me - but I know your history goes back far more than my experience with her. I don't want to see any harm to come to her, no matter the reason.
Though... something important that I must say is... do not sacrifice yourself for her - I do not know if she would survive that.
What do you think of it, Nier? I developed my own thoughts after speaking with her... but I'd like to know your impressions of how everything ties together - or doesn't.
I haven't been proactive in searching for answers to this place while also being a good student, so there are better people to ask. I'll still try.
[ A lot of his information comes from other people. ]
There are confirmed premeditated murders and there's Kainé where there was no planning whatsoever. I trust that she hasn't killed before here and Rupert had confessed to being involved in Lan Wangji's murder, which would fit the trial hint we received... Unless it also counts the other person from the previous murder, too. [ He doesn't know? He thinks it's only two because he saw 1 and 1. Sometimes you are simple brain. ] It isn't a stretch to say she might have been controlled seeing that we got coupons with mind-altering powers and people get snatched to go into these strange, dangerous trips where their memories can be altered.
If there's not an additional mind-altering coupon that we don't know about, another student would have needed to buy the power or item from a dorm head with vouchers... Which should show on the receipt we got in trial if they bought it on Thursday. The only way it wouldn't show is if it was bought earlier and the item/power doesn't need to be used immediately. There's a chance someone is lying about their purchases, too. The timeframe works as being Thursday night to Saturday night, since that was when Kainé came to her senses.
[ ... ]
Is it a coincidence that Kaoruko, Rupert, and also Kainé are from Winter?
[ . . . hah. Viola shuts her eyes and at the last question, the corner of her lips quirk up in a rueful smile.]
Thank you for asking. I would also like to know that. I told someone that we should see about having everyone vacate the dorm, even if only temporarily, to see if there is something about Winter itself that makes people act in this way. And that person only knew of Kaoruko and Rupert. But know that it is not by my will that so much is being spilled at Winter's hands - as much as you can believe me.
There is no risk worthwhile enough to put my dorm in danger.
[but she pulls herself together quickly, eyes focusing on the rest of what he'd said. she appreciates his thoroughness and matches it immediately]
Did you receive full reports on how many of each type of coupon there were? Perhaps if there is a pattern, you would be able to determine whether or not there would be an additional coupon for just one type of category. Dorm Heads don't distribute them, but I believe that one is simple enough to check.
As for buying additional items or powers - the general receipt gives all exchanges made from Thursday on, but it also includes any outlying purchases that happened at any given point in time that may have to do with murder. From what I recall, many people volunteered information about which purchase they made - but you're right that they may have lied. I cannot personally confirm or deny any of their assertions, but there was one purchase in particular that stood out, correct?
If you ask me for quotes on what a mind control power would be - perhaps that math will help you in determining more of what you need.
That's as much as I can help guide you, I think, while maintaining the restrictions of my own position.
[ Nier merely frowns because he isn't accusing Viola, but it is looking like winter is targeted for either a compulsion or something else. Not sure what. ]
It could be coincidence... Winter does have a lot of students in it, after all. Hopefully, we can figure this all out.
[ They're words of reassurance. He wants think better of most people. we will not ]
We did check to see who got what coupons last trial. I'll see if anyone took note... That's still good to know for the future in case there is a pattern. And there is that purchase, you're right.

week 3, tuesday
I was hoping I'd get a chance to talk to you -
Thank YOU for taking care of Kainé as much as you do.
Please understand I consider her very dear to me - I'll look after her as much as I'm able and then some.
no subject
Has she talked to you recently?
no subject
You're dear to her too, though I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.
She spoke with me on Sunday.
no subject
[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT IN TEXT? ]
no subject
Name a location and I'll meet you there shortly.
no subject
no subject
Certainly - see you there soon.
[and she'll head to that location shortly after!!]
no subject
[ It is a confusing game!! Anyway, Nier is cozier in his school uniform with a blazer and he is trying to bowl. Some pins go down first before he waves at Viola!! He is over here! ]
no subject
Made any progress on deciding if you like it or not? I think the shoes at least are... unique.
no subject
[ Something about the noise of pins falling down is pleasant. ]
... I actually didn't see a purpose to switching shoes until recently.
no subject
Oh no... I hope you didn't slip?
no subject
[ He should ask, too. ]
no subject
Thank you for asking, though.
no subject
The week is awful. [ Stronger words than hers. ] It's no problem. The dorm heads are students, too.
[ Anyway, ]
Kainé talked to you about what she was going through the last week?
no subject
but viola will just pause at that, and her expression grows more serious.]
... she did.
Thank you for breaching the subject.
[she wouldn't have done it first, given her overprotectiveness]
no subject
... I'd protect Kainé with my life and I have.
[ In the end, even if he has grown to like and maybe even love a handful of the people here, Nier will put Kainé first. ]
no subject
because first, her expression softens, even if it becomes just a little complicated]
... then I'm counting on you.
She's dear to me - but I know your history goes back far more than my experience with her. I don't want to see any harm to come to her, no matter the reason.
Though... something important that I must say is... do not sacrifice yourself for her - I do not know if she would survive that.
no subject
... Yeah, don't worry. We promised to go home together.
[ if kainé comes up dead this friday i will laugh ]
Do you know anything about her state back then?
no subject
Her state... What do you mean?
no subject
no subject
Right - the compulsion.
[ . . . ]
