[shrugs] I don't know her well enough yet to have any real plans.

[zettai]

It's not like she has any intention of dropping in to see you...

[moextispicy]

It's an infinitesimal chance. But would you honestly say that the cost to you of me staying is higher than the price of that chance?

[zettai]

Cost? It doesn't mean much to me. [this is a meaningful look]

[moextispicy]

Exactly. What does it cost you to let me stay?

[zettai]

Nothing much. That's why I'm allowing you to be here in the first place.

[moextispicy]

Then why not?

[zettai]

You won't even properly play the game to get to the next stage. [glances at the door]

[moextispicy]

Fine, fine. I'll be a good girl, nipa~

[zettai]

If you want to see whatever there is here, it's only fair you're expected to play by the rules.

[moextispicy]

By the rules? ... [giggle] That would be a new experience, at least.

[zettai]

Did you think you could cheat my mind?

[moextispicy]

[considering how to do this] Of course not, nipa~

[zettai]

It's difficult to convince me to let you through unless you're taking it seriously.

[moextispicy]

If I'm going to play, I need some kind of idea of the victory conditions. In order to get all the information, do I need to solve the murder?

[zettai]

That's what you need to do to unlock the door.

[moextispicy]

...Mi- The murderer's identity or a way the murderer could have done it? I don't know that much about the players.

[zettai]

How it was done. Don't overthink it. It's just a silly riddle, like the ones we shared in that one game a while back.

[moextispicy]

All right, I'll play seriously nipa~

[zettai]

Good luck, then.

[moextispicy]

Thank you.

[zettai]

Then I'll see you again, on the other side of the door. You won't keep me waiting too long, will you?

[moextispicy]

Of course not, nipa~ I'll see you then.

[zettai]

[And she disappears.]

[moextispicy]

[turns to the door] The murder would have taken place either by a trap set by the murderer, the killer dying before they left the room, the murderer killing them through a hole in the room, or the murderer having the key. [and opens a chocolate]
