What is it?

Neku;

[justastic]

I need to ask you about Joshua.

Apollo; /pretend the above is filtered too, please OTL

[expandhorizonts]

...Go on.

Neku; of course!

[justastic]

We're still trying to establish a solid motive for the killer aside from 'Joshua was annoying', so knowing a bit more about the victim himself would be ideal. Can you tell me more about him, as a person?

Apollo;

[expandhorizonts]

No need to go through this. I talked to the killer already.

Neku;

[justastic]

Y-you did?

Apollo;

[expandhorizonts]

Yeah. Dunno if he was telling the truth, but apparently, Joshua being an asshole wasn't the only reason.

Neku;

[justastic]

Fill me in.

Apollo;

[expandhorizonts]

...Under one condition - for now, this has to stay between us two.

Neku;

[justastic]

[...]

It will. Shoot.

[A pause as he considers where to start. He's assuming Polly has been here for a long time already, by the way.]

Remember the murders back in summer? Our killer seems to think Josh is behind them. He or she probably investigated the whole thing, tried to confront him and... failed. Miserably.

...

Look, I can't tell you why, but... killing Josh is virtually impossible. For the killer, LA was probably the chance of a lifetime. He [...or she] did this for justice's sake - getting rid of "the murderer", even if only for two weeks, is worth the risk. ...Least that's what he told me.
