I READ THE NEWS TODAY, OH BOY

[strangerpeople]

AND THOUGH THE NEWS WAS RATHER SAD

[Good morning, (good morning, good,) Strangers.

The countdown has been steadily ticking since Tuesday, and despite the crowded nature of the house making it a couple degrees warmer than it might otherwise be, the looming threat hangs cold.

There's a certain disquiet in the air as morning dawns on the residents of 15 Maple Lane – not that anyone would be able to tell, with the darkness of Pluto, of all places hanging outside.

Maybe it's just you? Or maybe there's something up with that? Only one way to find out...]

[strangerpeople]

[The former.]

[starswink]

[well... as strange as that is, at least he'll be able to read the screen when he turns it on now.

Anything?]

[strangerpeople]

[A...password screen.

Hm.]

[starswink]

[hm. he's grappling with himself now.

should he try to hack it...]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, whatever happens, it seems that all of the clues have been found here, for the present.

Hacking-or no hacking-can come later.]

[starswink]

[well. guess this is just his to figure out then. lovely.

He just wants to do one sweep of the room before he leaves to familiarize with the layout. Specifically, entry and exit points. He wants to figure out how someone could have gotten past him to put this in here.]

[strangerpeople]

[There is only one entry and exit point - the bedroom door leading to the hall.]

[starswink]

[......it's not looking good, chief.

One more thing with the phone. About how large is the circular mark?]

[stopfen]

[Well she's got nothing.]

Did she write anything on it?

[starswink]

I don't know yet... there's a lock on the information. I'll have to hack it if I want to find to find out.

[stopfen]

[A nod.]

I suppose we should go look, but it doesn't seem good. If the phone is up here covered in blood...

[She seemed competent too. But the phone being here and not with her meant, she'd either been killed. Or had something to do with someone else being if she was still alive.

...And from what Inaba had said, Mikasa didn't think it was the later. ]

[starswink]

Y-Yeah. I hate it, but I can only think she's the one who died if her phone is here like this. There's no way she'd just leave it here...
