[ vira meets his surprise with her own, and a very deliberate, guarded instinct. this week is unfortunate, because it's plain to see there's no sincere sentiment behind her smile, but she puts one on anyway. decorum does matter. ]

If you wouldn't mind. Though perhaps we're of the same mind on a few matters as well.

[ gazes at town hall ]

[ the fact that our schedules are ass and we never get to have cr is the worst because these two really do vibe on a lot of things huh ]

I wouldn't mind. I'm happy to answer any questions you have - and I would agree. Would you like to sit?

[ one day i'll be functional before grandma hours..... ONE DAY

she's been evasive with one-on-one conversations with all... this, but she doesn't mind when it's mostly chatting about business. she brushes some sand off a seat and sits. ]

Thank you. First, I was hoping you could explain the situation with Childe.

Mm. As related to which part? Saturday or Sunday?

[ just to be clear! luckily, business is easy for him too - there's not really any emotional reaction at all, and he keeps a healthy distance as well as his eyes mostly out on the horizon. not too much eye contact today kids. ]

I have heard some of Sunday. [ she sounds sort of exhausted about this, and her feelings match to a T. it's easier to clamp down on feelings when it's a talk like this. ] I'd like to know your account of Saturday.

Of course.

You saw the weapon used during execution. I was the only person that knew Childe was in possession of that knife - he showed it to me. When I woke up on Thursday, I knew I was in danger, so I went to go fetch it first thing to defend myself with.

After everything was finished, on Friday, I found him to spar with as I usually did in the morning. Upon doing so, I did inform him of what happened - that I defended myself against Mahito with the knife. By that point, I had thought perhaps he may have been lying about using his power on me, and I couldn't see well enough to tell otherwise, that it might have been something else. I did take the benefit of the doubt in assuming it was the what are those power, because he had Doctors Hate Her or something he could use in a pinch to protect himself.

I also knew as soon as Mahito's body was recovered, Childe would know instantly that I was the one who had killed Mahito. I decided to cut that off at the pass - I didn't want him to think he had any sort of bargaining chip over me, because I knew he'd throw me to the wolves in a second. Similarly, I'd throw him to the wolves with the knife, and the false story about his power, whether he was innocent or not. Conveniently, it turned out he was a murderer.

I also discovered that he and Mahito were working together, though I found that out at the same time as everyone else - at trial. When we discovered the crime scene at the airpot, Mineo described it to me, that there was flour everywhere, and Shi Qingxuan had told me Aoi had pepper spray. Which I discovered. [ unfortunately. with his face. vira will likely feel his distaste not just for the pepper spray, but for both mahito and chlde and their working together as he's talking. he's perfectly calm, though. ]

I knew nothing about his kill, or his working with Mahito, until the trial itself. I wouldn't have covered for his bullshit story about his power, if I knew. [ there's a beat, and he reaches up and rubs his temples. ] However, it would have been far more convenient for me if he'd just stayed dead, but I think it would have been more convenient for all of us.
