I don't know. I kind of, weirdly, trust Newt. It'd be one thing if he was a Reaper, but - last week, he was suspicious of Yusuke. He was going on about Yusuke being the one who killed Ranpo, and Yusuke being a threat and likely to come after him and Hermann. I offered to go with him to talk to Yusuke and, if we had to, rough him up a little. [Cool, Magnus.] Uh, it's actually a good thing I didn't do that, because I like the kid and he had nothing to do with it. But, you know, he wasn't into that idea at all. Kind of a coward. So it's really hard for me to see him and Hermann, uh, binding someone like Jacopo up and cutting his fingers off.
[That would be a lot even for him.]
...But obviously I didn't trust him enough not to vote for him. As for Akira, care to elaborate?
[Honestly? Newt's an agreeable man. Though she's convinced of his guilt, she nods at what Magnus has to say. Both his faith and his suspicions aren't poorly placed.]
...You're close with Monika too, aren't you? So I think it's all right to say something like this. As for Izaya, I don't really trust him...but I trust him because I don't. He's never been anything but honest about being so a shady individual.
Izaya shared some words of Akira's with us. All of us, me and Chuuya included. They are, for a phrase, quite damning, added to the fact he was confirmed as a Reaper.
I hate to discourage you, but now that you know he is capable of sight, he'd probably dodge you.
[She actually smirks, but it's suddenly very shaky. Beneath the business and the normal restraint and whatever else is happening tonight, it's really sobering to walk towards your own.]
Speaking of him, however: We had an agreement to share relevant information. While some of us were...indisposed by the penguin, I was told, Ranpo was quite vocal about refusing any hint as a reward. [And frankly, since she is about to die in large part due to a purchased hint... Caren was skeptical about their efficacy before, but they seem worth the price in retrospect.] Unfortunately, Madara Mikejima was reportedly behaving the same way, so I interpreted both as suspicious. Ranpo Edogawa's later behavior at trial reinforced my belief that he had no desire to see murders committed by Reapers solved.
Eh. I've fought rogues before. I only have to land a hit once.
[He whistles, though, when she tells the story of choosing Ranpo and Madara. It's a little admiring, but a little not.]
You really saw a shot and went for it, huh? I've had my suspicions about some people for a while, but never wanted to take out somebody I wasn't sure about. It was risky.
Two weeks ago, I would've said it paid off, and I woulda really admired you for taking that chance. But now, I'm not so sure.

[He whistles at the Akira mention.]
That kid? Ran out of Dahlias and Junkos, huh? Well...tell me something. How'd you guys know about Ranpo? Just Chuuya having a hunch?
