Anonymous: you even thanked me at school, so there''s no need to thank me anymore

Mayuko: but still

Mayuko: thank you

Mayuko: since it was all my fault

Mayuko: even though everyone seemed to enjoy the murder scene

Mayuko: since it''s that sort of script

Anonymous: just don''t follow up with "i''m sorry"

Mayuko: i''m sorry

Mayuko: oh

Anonymous: everything''s been taken care of

Anonymous: though it didn''t end up as the movie you had hoped for

Anonymous: what''s important is that it''s been completed

Mayuko: don''t say that

Anonymous: which line were you responding to?

Mayuko: oh, i meant, the part about it not ending up as i hoped for

Mayuko: what i would hope for most

Mayuko: would be for everyone to go hurrah in the end

Anonymous: really, you''re so easy to read

Mayuko: hmm?

Anonymous: nothing

Anonymous: for doing something like that to him

A.ta.shi?: you really think so?

Anonymous: really what?

A.ta.shi?: as in you''re really sorry towards him

Anonymous: since you''re on the other side of the world

Anonymous: i felt like bluffing

A.ta.shi?: lol, figures

A.ta.shi?: but you know?

Anonymous: yes?

A.ta.shi?: you''ve lied to me as well, haven''t you?

A.ta.shi?: so you keep your trap shut!

Anonymous: i, lied?

A.ta.shi?: that''s right. you shouldn''t manipulate people on the other side of the world

A.ta.shi?: especially me

A.ta.shi?: just kidding

Anonymous: i wasn''t really lying

A.ta.shi?: you wanted to protect the girl who did the script, which is why you asked me for help, right?

A.ta.shi?: in other words, the problem lies with the script, right?

A.ta.shi?: you knew i would reject solving such a hopeless problem

A.ta.shi?: yet you still wanted to protect her

A.ta.shi?: you sure know how to help yourself under the pretext of helping someone else

A.ta.shi?: though it seems that idiot still hasn''t realized

A.ta.shi? has logged out

Houtaru: will this be fine?

L: yes, this is good

L: you''ve got a strange username

Houtaru: i misspelled "houtarou", but correcting it is too bothersome, so

Houtaru: yet this feels strange

Houtaru: my last access time was only just now

L: huh?

L: oreki-san, is this the first time you''ve usd this?

L: used this?

Houtaru: maybe

Houtaru: oh well

L: so what was the script that hongou-san had envisioned?

L: oreki-san?

Houtaru: no, i''ll do it

Houtaru: since i didn''t ask her, i''ll just have to speculate

Houtaru: if kaitou didn''t die, then there would be no sealed room

L: even without the role of the cameraman?

Houtaru: you sure can be mean, you know? first, the killer is kounosu, she came in via the window

L: eh? but isn''t the window?

Houtaru: there''re two control room windows, either one''s fine

Houtaru: using a rope, kounosu climbed into one of the control room windows

Houtaru: she then stabbed kaitou

Houtaru: though it was not enough to kill him

Houtaru: she then used the rope to return to the second floor

Houtaru: she then walked down the stairs to the lobby as though nothing happened

L: after getting stabbed by kounosu-san

L: kaitou said to her

L: why did she stab him

L: by any chance, maybe she wasn''t aiming to kill him

L: so kaitou-san decided to cover for kounosu-san

L: as kounosu-san returned to the 2nd floor, he returned to the right stage

L: huh? but how does that explain the wounds?

Houtaru: by the way, there''s something i''d like to ask

L: yes, what is it?

Houtaru: this might be my imagination, but

Houtaru: didn''t you yourself realize one answer from all this?

L: eh?

L: but i didn''t solve anything

L: why do you say that?

Houtaru: the three from class 2-F plus me

Houtaru: you were convinced by none of our deductions

Houtaru: this is so unlike you. does that have something to do with your resonance with hongou?

L: oh, i see

L: let''s see, it''s because i think hongou-san and i are alike

Houtaru: ?

L: oh, this is a bit embarrassing

L: so please don''t laugh

L: truth is

L: i don''t like stories where people die
