SDKJFSDJKFSK NO!!!

That's what I'd like to know.

My thoughts so far are that it isn't relevant to us, or it was kept a secret for a reason. Do you have any other theories, Dectective?

[bleakdecember]

Hm.

Perhaps she wasn't around to be a variable during our time.
Whether she lost her abilities, or... met some kind of tragic end.

[arsenist]

[The next message takes a little longer to come.]

She's here and very alive, as far as I can tell.

[The "so are you" goes unstated.]

She hasn't mentioned Lavenza yet, but she said she was "friends" with Igor, Lavenza's boss. It's probably plausible she met him before we did, since I never saw her in the Velvet Room.

[bleakdecember]

Is resurrection really such a stretch for a place like this?

[Though, his current status can't be blamed on the resort.]

I assume she's never heard of the Phantom Thieves, or she'd be after us chronologically.
I assume she must have some form of rival wildcard, correct?

[Little does he know, he's the black sheep of the wildcard family.]

[arsenist]

[nobody tell him-]

Maybe not. There's a lot we don't know yet, but we don't have any reason to believe that's what's happening either.

[It feels like a lie tightening his throat as he types, but it's something Akira refuses to focus on right now.]

I'm still talking to her, but I haven't brought up the Phantom Thieves yet until I gauge her as person a little bit more. She hasn't mentioned a rival wildcard either, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility if she exists in the first place.

You said after us, though... You think another person was chosen that quickly?

[bleakdecember]

I suppose I’ll leave the interrogation to you.

Who can say? Though the Inaba case wasn’t so long before us. What happens in the future isn’t really my problem.

My focus is on getting the hell out of this place.
