That's... probably where the confrontation began, then? It certainly didn't end there. [because luca's body appeared while they were searching a different room.] It ended in the music room.
[mmmgh... thinking is hard.]
Then there was the common room - with the larger footprint. I'd have thought that unrelated, or perhaps related to Steven's death in an attempt to wash off the blood, but there were those large shoes that Mineo found in the circus with the needles...
It couldn't have been one killer, there's just... too much for it to have been one killer.
[ ... ]
Unless it was two, and whoever was wearing the clown shoes [ I. HATE. THIS. FAMILY. ] decided to clear up more evidence than someone was expecting. Two killers, two victims, but one of the killers decides to silence the person they worked with...?
...I suppose that's not impossible, if they wanted to ensure they couldn't turn on them if things started to go poorly for them at the trial.
[her brow furrows]
But that seems risky, too - you'd end up potentially leaving more evidence, and although we were very motivated to figure this out... we've never actually managed to do so.
[...]
Unless it was less that they started out working together, and more that they came across each other by chance while carrying out their own murders...?
That hasn't happened before though... but there did seem to be a lot of crossover this time around. If you couldn't trust the other to keep silent, then the only other logical thing to do would be to kill them as well.
Well, I say logical, but if one killer outed another in trial, they'd be outing themselves as well.
Not necessarily... they could examine the evidence knowing that person was involved, somehow, and present it in a way that made it seem like they were just following a logical conclusion.
It's easier to make connections when you already have some idea of who you want it to point to.
After how badly we've done, I'd be suspicious of someone piecing stuff together so easily. But even then, you could play it off and take your time with it.
... It's bad I keep thinking it'd be nice to get one right so we know we're not condemning someone uninvolved, when I really should be thinking "it'd be nice if no one died".

What a mess.

sadly binge eating after they fucked up at trial probably counts as a combination despair-gluttony indulgence.]
When we catch whoever did this, I'd like to make a mess of them.

Oh, I'll help. Or ask you to get in line. [ smile! ]

You're at the front of the line. I'll be right behind you.
