The story presses onward as you gather in this now familiar "courtroom" to deliberate the deaths of two more of your number. By now there's more space for everyone with the population dwindling down to twenty, and by this weekend's end it will dip ever further. But maybe in a time like this more space is needed, though one most always be mindful of the clock.

Adora and Norton Campbell are dead, and the price must be repaid.

I believe I do have the answer for the laceration on Frau Adora's collarbone; Occam's Razor. Or, the simplest solution is the correct solution.

Frau Adora became weak from the poisoning and fell. Her collarbone specifically mate contact wis a chair's armrest, leaving a crack in it. It woult explain the additional damage to the wount as vell.

...I have sait it previously, and I am willing to say it a million times. I do not believe you committed zis murder. All I can say for certain is zat there is a possibility, and as shown previously, denying as much could prove detrimental in hindsight.

So Adora died of a combination of the poison and an injury sustained as a result of being poisoned. I think that sounds logical.

Which means the killer could take their time to leave the stab wounds on her, as she was not going to be fighting back anymore to begin with.

But what about the chairs in front of Sir Suga's room?

[hellochildren]

If anysing, I believe zat may exonerate them somewhat. At the least, the latest zose chairs coult be moved in front of Herr Suga's room is after Herr Campbell's murder, and in zat case, there is no vay Herr Suga, Herr Edamura, or Herr Kujo coult enter the room wisout moving the chairs away from the door.

[Not without some Rubegoldberg-esqe trap, and last he checked there was no evidence of such a thing.]

And if we are to assume-understandably-zat this was done by Frau Adora's killer? It would mean zey are innocent there as vell.

[Not that he thought two out of the three people there would've done this regardless, but...yeah.]

I don't mind if anyone thinks I did this because I believe in myself. I suppose I'm offended that anyone would think I would do such a sloppy job covering up, if nothing else.
