Futaba has a third, but Tsurumaru's getting that one for me. [ i made francia do this. ] At first I thought... it might only be "Aquarius". [ with. finger quotes. ] Their journal, their little notes. But they're not exactly the religious type, and there's that one about praying.
If I think the journal doesn't fit who it has to fit by virtue of process of elimination, then... Who actually wrote that one? I thought maybe there was an extra. Sitting back, watching. But if it's all of them...
[ he crosses his arms ]
The staff... it's like they're all playing a role. And I couldn't figure out why, outside of messing with them. Adding difficulty to their job. But what if they're just the understudies? And they're filling in?
[ this actor metaphor is going to be SO FUNNY when harrow is like: what the fuck is an understudy ]
The diary does say 'fifth verse,' though...I'm not certain that means five rounds. Rin seemed to think it did. But it is written from a newcomer's perspective.
Mmm. That was my reading as well - something similar before, but not this specifically. But it is a theory those from the religious one are throwing around.
I don't think it's happened this many times, the way it did in the Realm. That doesn't track. [ he thinks so, anyway? ] But-- that staff was there. Their round was starting. Unless they got a cast change last minute...

[but she squints.]
What is an understudy...?

[ dubiously muttered, anyway; ]
It's... someone who steps in to take over for an actor when they're unable to play the part.

So then the originals might be incapacitated somehow? [...] Unless they are simply busy elsewhere.

... I don't think it means verse here, necessarily. Tsurumaru's on his third round, technically speaking.

[bad.]
You don't think it's possible...the diary mentions infiltration.

It's possible I'm mistaken, but that's what I'm trying to get at.
