Second.

Friday dawns fairly quietly this week; unlike last week, there's no blood splashed around the hallway, and there's very little that seems amiss at first glance. It's almost enough to make one think that nothing happened last night – that maybe the incentive was ignored, that maybe rational-minded camaraderie may have won out over the desire to escape the Vault. That impression will last you until somebody decides to head upstairs. They won't get past the stairwell without noticing that something is definitely amiss - while there notably does not appear to be a body, that doesn't mean that something isn't there regardless. You might want to check that out. Just saying. >Explore?

Of course it doesn't help.

[But at least Yosuke seems to be calming down a bit. That is great]

We can do nothing for Pearl-san now, but we do can catch her killer. Take that anger of yours and direct it into that.

No matter what happens you can't let it distract you from what must be done.

[A lesson Mouri knows real well. A case that's still fresh in his memory comes to mind, having to reveal somebody he hadn't met in years as a killer. He idly notes it is one of the few cases he can actually remember whole instead of having a blank space in the last part of the whole deal, but it is not the time to think about that]

This will never get easier.

[He nods, not trusting his voice]

If it's... anyone's fault... it's the Kingmaker.

[sleepingkogoro]

That is right. None of us would kill anyone if we weren't locked here.

Someday we'll have the chance to confront the Kingmaker. I promise you that.

[garudynamic]

...speaking of which.

[Oh look, it's his phone! He hits the call button and-

-wow that sure is some language that wouldn't even be allowed in a Atlus game]

[Should Mouri be amused by this? He isn't sure, but what he does know is that he is willing to make an exception to any rules about decency if the Kingmaker is the target of all that.

Please by all means do that for as long as you want, Yosuke! Mouri definitely isn't going to try to stop you]
