[he'll follow despite not knowing anything mechanically, hovering behind her but giving her space.]
Here's something else I thought about, too. We were locked in, but do we know if they could've opened from the outside? It's obvious people left somehow. So what happened after that?
[opening the door and checking out the lock on it, hmm hmm]
I'm sure someone could have. Either by stealing an ID card, or using some higher authorization...
... Then again, even that might not have been necessary. Seeing as we couldn't open the doors, we should consider the possibility that the very rules by which the doors lock and unlock changed at some point last night. They might've even changed again after we all passed out.
What, like they unlocked entirely after we knocked out? [...he hadn't thought of that, but also he hates that implication thanks.] If that's true, it would've been easy to get in and out of the dorms without anybody noticing.
Could be how someone got Sieghart and Dimitri out, too.
... Yeah. [that's pretty much what she was thinking, anyway.]
Although... those two are pretty big guys. It's hard to imagine anyone carrying them, or dragging them out. Maybe they just don't remember leaving? Or...
Or they were possessed. [why that's the first thing he thinks of, it's hard to say. but he doesn't look happy about it.] We could ask Sieghart but...I don't know if we'll get any better answers. And it's not like Dimitri even likes talking to people in the first place.
Yeah. I don't know if it's possible to exist outside of that world or if other worlds have their own entities or whatever, but I don't want to rule anything out until we get some more answers.
... Yeah. We don't know Sieghart all that well, the one-eyed weirdo's suspicious in pretty much every way, and in the end, we don't know if there were even more people wandering around while the rest of us were conked out.
Especially if we're going with the idea that the doors could've unlocked after we fell asleep. Anybody could've gotten up and walked away before coming back and pretending they were here the whole time.
Did you look around this morning after the alarm went off?
I checked out the cafeteria. There was a girl with glasses and some other dork there. Nothing seemed too out of place, though. All we found was that somebody didn't clean up after sharing some tea last night. [a shrug. she still doesn't know if those cups are relevant.]
Yeah... and I mean, they could've been left out before the lockdown.
But if it was during the night... Well, that would be a pretty weird time to sit and have tea with someone. Looked like they didn't finish their drinks, either.
Yeah...if it was two people maybe they were having tea right before everybody felt like going back to the dorm? That would make the most sense, I guess. Especially if they weren't finished.
Maybe Byleth knows something.
[...byleth is the one person he knows that knows her tea, that's really his only line of thinking here.]
Okay. So our clues right now are Tomoe's head wound, herbal tea, a bunch of weird arrows, a two-handed fighting stick that broke into two pieces, Sieghart in the river, and Dimitri in a messed-up classroom.
...[...hm.] Not that any of that makes any sense together, but it's a start I guess.

[sometimes your younger sister gets possessed, and that's just how it goes.]

So that's a thing that exists.

[yeah rita just hates the idea of this, completely]
Guess we can add it to the pile of hypotheticals we're going to need to find some evidence to prove or disprove.
no subject
On the other hand the easier solution is that somebody's lying about what happened last night.

Not that helpful, no. That could've been anybody. [which is even less than helpful.] Unless we start asking everybody if they like tea.

[it's truly the stupidest reason, but hey.]

I don't know if the cups are still there [or if futaba took them...] but I'm pretty sure it was a herbal tea, if that narrows it down any.

[but it's what they've got to work with, so they'll have to deal with it.]
As for the door, maybe I can try jamming the lock with something so this doesn't happen again.
