[zettai]

[There is no way to enter or exit the room except through the door or windows. But after that one they start turning up blank. The red isn't too be used too carelessly, after all.]

[moextispicy]

[oh well. Opens the door at the end of the hallway]

[zettai]

[It's locked.]

[moextispicy]

[checks for anything resembling a key]

[zettai]

[The only thing around seems to be those chocolates.]

[moextispicy]

[heads back into the other room to look for a key and see if anything's changed, then]

[zettai]

[Everything looks about the same. Bernkastel and Lambdadelta are still sitting there sipping tea in silence.]

[moextispicy]

[as she looks for the key she might have missed earlier] What are the statements in red?

[zettai]

[You don't see anything that stands out.]

"You still haven't denied a single one of my theories with the red truth. Are you sure about that? At this rate, I'll have set up several theories of my own, while you still haven't even made a proper counter."

"Eheheheh, of course! What, did you think I'd fall for that approach~? ♪ The red truth is only useful if you use it with flash, right? With just one swipe of the red, I can tear down every little theory you've built up! Until then, you'll have to scramble around in the darkness, without a single scrap of truth to hold on to. Too bad for you, kyahaha!"

[moextispicy]

What is the key to the other room?

[zettai]

"Then no matter what sort of red truth you bring out, I'll just have to find a new way to destroy your illusion. *giggle*"

[moextispicy]

[considering, and goes back out to check out the bowl again to see what red truths it contains that are generally applicable to doors]

[zettai]

[The three truths from before are still laid out on the table, and there is a handful of unwrapped chocolates sitting there.]

[moextispicy]

[...if the door is locked from the inside...

Knocks?]

[zettai]

[No response. There aren't even any signs of life in the room.]

[moextispicy]

[frowns, and opens another chocolate]

[zettai]

[Right now there is no living being inside the room.]

[moextispicy]

[frowns] How am I supposed to get in with no key, no one to let me in, and the room locked from the inside? I don't have a lock pick. [opens another chocolate]

[zettai]

[The text on this one is not in red. Simply one scribbled line: "How were you killed?"]

[moextispicy]

...

[crumples it up hard] I don't know. [glares at the door with narrowed eyes]

[zettai]

[The door remains locked tight, and the moment you say that you think you may hear a bit of shrill laughter from the room you just left.]

[moextispicy]

[contemplates the pros and cons of attempting to set fire to Lambda's mind. Snappishly]

Do I need to figure out how I could get into this locked room in order to proceed, or how an absent murderer could get into this locked room in order to proceed? [opens one]

[zettai]

["A murder took place in this room. How was it carried out?"]

[moextispicy]

A witch did it and disappeared from it by magic. [attempts the door.]

[zettai]

[You can almost sense a giggling in your ear, and the sinister, whispered words, "Do you surrender to the witch?"]
