Mayuko: i''m really, really grateful

    Anonymous: enough of that already

    Anonymous: you''ve been thanking me for a while

    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

    A.ta.shi?: seems like you got things sorted out

    Anonymous: all thanks to you, sempai

    A.ta.shi?: why you''re welcome. glad to be at your service

    Anonymous: though i feel sorry for him

    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

    Anonymous: sempai

    Anonymous: my priority has always been to ensure the success of the project

    Anonymous: sempai?

    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
