62 | DAY NINE

DAY 9
Complex Population: 18

It's 8AM, and you wake from that deep, dreamless sleep that enforces curfew as always.

There's breakfast available in the cafeteria if you want it, as well as meals from 11AM-12PM and 7PM-8PM, but otherwise? The day is yours. Take your time to explore the complex, relax, and enjoy each others' company, as who knows what the next day has in store?

Though as you explore, you may notice that there's a few new doors unlocked and a new place for you to spend the day. Behind one door, you'll find a neat, tidy classroom. Like the Media Lab, none of the textbooks seem to cover anything past the 1940s, but if you'd like to do arts and crafts, the supply closet may be your place to spend the day. Across the walkway, there's also a small garden for growing fresh vegetables, so maybe you can finally be somewhat free of canned food.

For once, there's nothing amiss about the Complex.

[He doesn't seem at all offended by the question. Instead he only lets out a hum and nods, like it's a perfectly logical thing to bring up.]

I have considered it, but I'm very willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. While it seems he is...well, a bit of a hothead, from my understanding, he hasn't done anything to threaten the lives of those around him.

[He almost looks a bit sheepish here because...well, HE was the one who tried to beat up Alice. The other guy didn't do that.]

I mean, I'll have to catch up and see what's happened, but I hardly think that I'd be a staff member at all. It would be too risky for me to have that role, given that switching between personalities seems, at best, random.

[Dojima considered the answer. It made sense, it'd be a great risk to make Alfendi a staff member, if anything because of the personalities. Other than that...

Dojima takes out a piece of paper]

Please make sure the other you receives this memo. I'd be nice if you didn't indicate I'm the sender, but feel free to note it was me. It's just a reminder of something he should keep in mind.

[If Alfendi checks it right now, he'll find just one single sentence:

'Are we completely sure Bigby Wolf is innocent?']

I think he's the one I could rely the most to keep an eye on Wolf.

[Better to have all bases covered, he guesses]

[Alfendi takes the paper, opens it, and arches an eyebrow. However, he makes no comment on it - he only nods, folding it as neatly as he can and slipping it in his notebook.]

Very well.

[You can count on him!]

If he appears again, I'll ensure he gets a reply to you somehow. [A pause.] Bigby is a very reliable man, but it's possible that my other side knows him better than I do. Is there a reason you suspect him?

I don't suspect him, exactly, but I don't like that he could coast along as if it was confirmed he's innocent. Better to keep all bases covered. If we leave even the smallest chance for the staff to take advantage on, they'll use it.

[Dojima crosses his arms]

Besides, Dickson and whoever his partner is may have a reason to instruct Kei to attack Wolf. That's what happened, if I remember right. Maybe I'm mistaken about what it was.

These days I feel I'm not as sharp as I should be.

I see. You just want to alleviate whatever remaining doubts you have.

[His next statement makes Alfendi just look confused - he hasn't had the chance to take a look at his notebook, so he's...not at all knowing of what went down with Kei.]

Kei? [He'll just...not ask now, this sounds like a whole can of worms he's not ready to open.]

Why do you think so, Dojima? Maybe it's the stress?

...the incident where Kei died. You haven't been told about it yet?

[Well, it's partly stress, yeah]

I hope it's stress, and not that I'm starting to lose my skills or anything like that. I made a suggestion last trial that in hindsight makes me look like a major idiot.

[He does feel stupid for thinking Rhys may not have been staff, that's for sure]

Like I said, I just came to only several minutes ago...

[Alfendi Layton, starring in What the Heck is Going On: A Musical.]

Oh? Well, now, what was the suggestion? You didn't point the finger at someone who was innocent, did you?

As far as I know, the gist of the incident was that Kei was given a weapon and was seemingly instructed to attack Wolf. The problem is that the person who instructed him wasn't a staff member, it was Dickson's partner. Technically, they're fighting staff.

[Dojima grimaces]

Rhys and Angel got collars tied to their necks. If one was hurt, the other would be shocked. If one died, the other would die too.

Rhys was turning out to be the main suspect in the most recent trial, and it was thought staff put a collar on him as a way to have Angel as a hostage. I suggested to everyone both Rhys and Angel weren't staff members, despite Rhys actually murdering someone.

[He sighs]

And then Rhys opened his mouth and nonchalantly confessed he was a staff member.

[It was embarrassing for Dojima, really]
