[ Does Shinobu even know he had special hearing in the first place? Is this something he would've told during his stay at the Butterfly Estate? Help me out, Jae. ]
Okay, no, Shinobu can know, because she's cute and he could've told her during a wellness check after a mission. ]
His name is Goro Akechi. He's a detective who found incriminating evidence on some of the culprits when we were at the house. He was always well-spoken, though.
[ He certainly didn't have a habit of calling people idiots in public—as far as Zenitsu knows, anyway. ]
That's the mystery we have to solve, isn't it? I don't know him at all, so I don't have much of an idea other than to cause unrest.
[ If it can be someone from the place you were just from, it could be someone else next. Or if it's someone they know, how much will they focus on this new thing than on the fact that someone has been murdered?
[ A little difficult to wrap her mind around instantly, but she supposes that if they can all be pulled from different times and worlds or whatever else is out there, that can happen, too. It'd be easier on her mind to accept it and try to work out the logistics later. ]
It's something to think about, the possibilities of who could get wrapped in things like this and from when.
[ It follows that Shinobu, who said Zenitsu's name without introductions, is also on the same boat. In other words, it's not unusual for there to be discrepancies in the timeline of those present from the same world. ]
But if Chuuya goes to the boat in his future, wouldn't everyone there have known about the house already?
As for Nakahara-kun... [ She shakes her head. ] I don't know the logistics of that. Different times, different worlds.... Perhaps being on the boat made him forget. I won't pretend I know.
[ She shakes her head. She doesn't know if they'll forget, and he mentions nothing about the mansion that she knows of. At least, not that particular mansion. ]
Places you visited aren't what you talked about often.

The one from when we first woke?
no subject
He nods. ]
I recognized one of them.
[ Hard to forget that cold, detached voice. ]
no subject
She wonders about that. It's hard to tell if there was anything different when it was all distorted, but if it was distinct to some of them... ]
From your time in the house? It looked others from the house did, too.
[ If all that yelling indicated anything. ]
Who was it?

[ She hums, thoughtful. ]
It's suspicious that it'd be someone that so many would know. Either it is him somehow, or it's a trick to make you think it's him.
[ She thinks it's the latter because otherwise, why is the voice distorted when she wouldn't recognize the voice anyway? ]
no subject
If it's a trick, why would they pick him?
no subject

Once more, there is murder. ]
no subject
Did you recognize any of the voices, Ms. Kocho?
no subject
I didn't. To me, the voices sounded... odd. Distorted.
[ Unnatural in a way. ]
no subject
[ And kind of creepy. ]
no subject
[ Shinobu shakes her head. There can't be any solid conclusions. ]
no subject
I heard that one of the voices belongs to Chuuya—like the one here, but older and from the boat.

[ Time is somehow relative in this situation. ]

[ Parallel universe theory is in the FUTURE. ]
no subject
[ He swallows. What a scary thought. ]
We meet in my future, right? Did I never mention the mansion in our world?
[ Unlikely, because he probably won't bring it up on his own. But it's worth asking. ]
no subject
Places you visited aren't what you talked about often.
[ At least not to her. ]
no subject
I guess I won't know until I get there.
[ If he can forget, that is. How frightening. ]
no subject
[ She'll make sure of it. If Zenitsu dies here, she's going to riot. ]
