I don't have any clues yet to point at who it is, but I have a good guess who it ISN'T...

And I highly doubt it's the individual I know to be one of his personal enemies.

Process of elimination is tried and true method- what do you have?

Well, for one, he's from a mafia family, which is probably why he's reacting so spectacularly badly to your questions - his background is one where a conflict being drug public is generally avoided at all costs. In spite of that - well, what I've seen of him supports that he didn't seem to set off any alarm bells as 'trouble' himself to Hattori; he's been more inclined to try to warn others and offered something resembling advice on a certain stunt of mine - which I still need to explain to you better ( ... )

Belphegor? We've met. I'm definitely keeping an eye on him. I think you're probably right in thinking he wasn't involved in this-he's a wire assassin and if he's from the mafia would likely only want to use his own methods- and if unstable he'd take pleasure in killing Hayato-san knowing he could just kill him again. Not to mention, he'd be stupid to try and get noticed this early into his stay here- and I know for a fact he's no idiot. Dangerous-but most likely not the arsonist.

The aim of arsonist clearly wasn't murder, as I stated, and I'm sure you agree. It's much more complex than that, I think.

I can think of two possibilities.

One is that it's someone who's decided to be randomly destructive and his room just happened to be their first target - in which case we should see another such relatively soon. I'm hesitant to make any assumptions, but this seems less likely; we have many potentially dangerous people here, but relatively few that're unstable, and in the current state of the Manor, starting fires could harm the culprit just as easily as the victim.

The other is that someone else has acquired a grudge against him since he arrived; that might be more difficult to ferret out - although we can rule out any of the more prideful sorts that would want to take personal credit; this one is satisfied with knowing they've done harm, and it's possible they might not even care if Hayato knows who was responsible.

Mmm, you've come to same conclusions I have- something's bothering me though- shouldn't someone have seen or heard something with the room in the condition it's in?

I'm sure half the Manor heard that going off.

The problem is, particularly if the person setting up had timed it right, it's entirely possible nobody saw anything - there's long stretches of time where people aren't in the hallway, and if they were minding who was where and got away quickly enough before there was obvious noise, they may very well have avoided anyone seeing them.

Ah, which means this case relies heavily on what people have to say about Hayato-san and anyone he might know.

What bothers me is that anyone that did here it didn't immediately come running to look- otherwise the victim would have found out a lot sooner. Burned remains had cooled by the time I got there any no one had said anything- if they didn't know the resident someone should have said something about the room being on fire.
