I assume everyone read the news yesterday regarding the death of Mitsuru Kirijo. [A slight pause.] From this article, it sounds as though either that the so-called "Newcomer Killer" is active once more, or that a copycat has taken their place

Thanks for the tip.

It was not a "tip." It was a warning.

[whipfist]

Fine. Thanks for the warning, and making everyone even more scared of going out.

[mentis_reae]

They should be so. The risks of going out, particularly now, far outweigh the benefits.

[whipfist]

Good. Less distractions at night.

[mentis_reae]

Fewer, but that is neither here nor there. Distractions from what?

[whipfist]

Entertainment.

[mentis_reae]

Of course. Fewer people at the movies.

[whipfist]

Maybe I should have said "exercise".

[mentis_reae]

Fewer at the gymnasium?

[whipfist]

No.

[mentis_reae]

Then I'm truly baffled by what you could mean. After all, no intelligent individual would possibly go out and engage the creatures in the darkness.

[whipfist]

You think so?

[mentis_reae]

Surely the conclusion cannot be that you're an idiot.

[whipfist]

I've heard worse.

[mentis_reae]

I wonder why.
