[at this point in time, taichi will always stop for rita. he's on his way elsewhere when he spots her, and when she nods he approaches a little closer and crouches down nearby.]
Mm. [he wasn't particularly close to tsuyukusa, so he can't comment on that very much.] ...the good thing is he's with the others in the daycare right now. They'll take care of him and make sure he gets out with the rest.
There's the stuff with Leo, obviously, but before that...
I think the whole Otome reveal hit him pretty hard. He was always assisting her with stuff, and it seemed like he really trusted her. Even when he killed her, he still... you know, cared.
Sounds a lot like what happened to Sieghart's killer. If he was able to create his own weapon and stuff, he had enough clarity to still act on his own. It was just...being driven by a very convincing lie.
That's entirely possible. When Byleth and Crow woke up, it sounded like they started in the SUB and then Crow busted his way out. But it's possible someone who's compelled is somewhere that they can use their resources.
Did you ask Maya or Molly? He probably has a new one since he just got back. Or...[...] Who would you consider yourself to be on decent terms with right now, Rita?
...you could try Mabel? You guys were both on pretty good terms with Tsuyukusa...could say it's something to honor his memory. Or Mandricardo since he seems to be way too chill about everything right now and I don't know how long that'll last. Hope might be an option, too.
...I think Mabel could use someone to talk to, to be honest. Even if it's just to do extra credit. Give her a distract of some kind? And if you're worried about Hope just tell him it's a favor for me and Yamato. That could work for Mandricardo, too.
I've been thinking about that a lot. I mean you know what a plot hole is. That's a pretty big thing to just kind of ignore. It's now a question of how we're supposed to use it and what we can do with it.

...another long morning, huh?

[she sighs.]
Gonna be real quiet at the dorm without that idiot around.
no subject
You okay? I know you guys were kinda friends.
[he uses the word "kind of" because he knows how tsuns work.]

... Yeah. He was a real weirdo, but... I guess we had a few things in common.

He'll get some of those answers he was so desperate for, too.

[which is why taichi's trying not to be angry about it. but. otome's still dead so that's not great.]
Did you go see him last night?
no subject
... I'll make sure he doesn't get left behind. No matter what.
no subject
...were you able to ask him about what happened Thursday? Or just about Amatsuki?
no subject
Yeah. He said he woke up in the orchard, convinced that if Otome died, all of this would end.
no subject
Wonder why he woke up that far out.

Hey... you don't happen to have any extra credit to do, do you?

I've asked Maya, Sakyou, Nier, Caleb, even Luxanna... Malik, against my better judgment... can't ask Denji again this week.

Anyway, we got one in, at least, so we'll get a hint no matter what. Just might not be the best one we could've gotten.
But then again, that "plot hole" thing was supposedly the best hint we could've gotten at the time, so... [shrugs.]
