[There is something here that reminds him of last week, that Pikachu might have been somehow awake...and he glances to the side, thoughtful, before turning back to Blanca.]
Just to ask: you weren't involved in the killings, were you?
[He says this almost immediately and without hesitation.]
Firstly, Swan was asleep in the tech lab. Dorothy, Ochako, Fiora, and Homura were asleep in the garden. And Xie Lian, Hua Cheng, Claude, Raven, and Vezda were in the inn. [To explain the list:] In case there are discrepancies later.
The wires were a weapon. I'm guessing-- [He holds up his arms to show off the strange, wrapping marks around his limbs.] --that may be what this is about, I'm not sure. [He exchanges a knowing glance to Hansa.]
The hair found in the kitchen... I don't believe it was real.
[Said serenely, if anything. There's not even any judgment in his voice, really.]
Though before we continue, I have a question: where were you, and who was with you?
[A pause, and then in case Blanca wants to walk back on that question:]
As of now, I do not... disbelieve you, so my question is to verify my own information. Your chances at sabotage would have been better guided to only involve one of us, after all, and unless Hansa is attempting to fool me as well...
Indeed. This could be a sympathy ploy to gain our trust and throw the seeds of a story that suits him.
[Don't worry, Chiron, Hansa will pick up the slack with that statement, grinning for a brief moment - but it seems to be more of something he simply throws out without much weight behind it.]
Anyways, thanks for the info. [He glances over at Chiron with the last statement, before shaking his head.] Believe me. I'd rather die than have someone else try to cover up my tracks.
[This is serious!!!! But he laughs wryly and quietly anyway. He doesn't look like he blames their caution at all, but he holds up both hands for a moment in surrender.]
I wanted the two of you specifically because of the reason I gave, and because I trust you to understand. But I wanted two in case one of you happened to be untrustworthy. If I told only one of you, and something happened to me, then no one would know.
Three can keep a secret only if two are dead.
[He looks from Hansa (he's tired) to Chiron.]
I was with Mister Cervantes outside. We went on Mister Won's behalf. With [he actually sighs mildly] a few others Mister Won has charmed into caring about his well-being. Miss Ange, Miss Alyssa, Miss Alex, Miss Yoshizawa, and Goat.
Of course, as Hansa was also there, Chiron could have easily asked him, but hearing it from Blanca seems to improve the centaur's mood greatly.]
Very well. So far you have not told any outstanding lies.
[Nodding a little bit to himself]
In any case, while I know you will not share your circumstances, it does seem as if you have either found more freedoms than the rest of us somehow, have been given those freedomes, or perhaps were in possession of an item that allowed you such freedom.
I will find out that truth later. For now, tell me why you believe the hairs to be false evidence.
I can't verify whether the hair is false, in that sense. When I inspected the blonde hair in the kitchen, it seemed...
...not like real hair?
[He glances from Chiron to Hansa.]
The purple hair was there, too; I had assumed it was from Miss Sharon, since she was the only one I could recall with hair that color. We should probably verify this anyway.
How interesting. I wonder if it was meant to frame someone else.
[A shrug.]
What Chiron said, but I suppose the answer is no. [A beat.] By the way, Blanca...are you the only one who was awake like that after curfew? Was Pikachu like you, too?

[He furrows his eyebrows.]
Were you awake last night? What do you mean?

[But he does glance at Hansa.]
I was, yes.

And what did you see?

That's all the names, then.

Anyways, yes. Tell us about the hair. Did you see it for yourself?

[Do they have wigs here? Hm]
But if it is evidence we need to thoroughly look over, so be it. Falsified evidence will help point is in the direction we need.
[...]
Though if you were at this time, were you able to see any of the killers? I assume not since you have not brought them up.

no subject
I didn't see anyone else, or find anyone. It was just me. [He looks at Hansa.] I don't know.
It's possible.
no subject
[And then bc a binch is busy, he's gonna pass out from fatigue or something later in the trial]
But at some point one of us will need to check the authenticity of the hair. Let us decide now, so we have a more natural flow of events.
[Less suspicion that way too, in case anyone is looking to be suspicious.]
