Of course not. Mercy's kind of the last thing we should be giving people after this long. [ she may touch. the demon kind of perks up, crawling over nico's lap and bonking into her hand like a real cat. except to her it sort of feels like petting smoke.
nico just allows this like "well, okay." ]
Did you get a chance to talk to Argalia last week before Sunday?

You'd think he'd recognize that maybe tempting fate to murder someone just to see if it'd happen again is a little messed up. But I keep thinking about Chiemi cursing him so he couldn't tell the truth about anything during the trial, too. I'm still thinking through the logistics and if we should be looking for curses like that early, too, tomorrow.
[ yesterday was such a shitshow that it's a little helpful to have something else to focus on. ]
I didn't even know they could be digital until we got into the courtroom Saturday. It's going to make things a lot harder from here to even figure out what's a power and what's a wonderball and what's a different item.
...Tama and I have been thinking about the note Will found in that bento, too. I don't know how much it helped in the end, but maybe we'll get lucky again and another note'll be found somewhere else to point us in the right direction.
I think that's the most likely, but I can't figure out where they came from or why they have that knowledge. Rabbit told me I shouldn't look at it too hard, which makes me think something's there after all.
