... Can't we just use this Saturday to plan? The veil's up, right?

M'not sure if we'll have the time to. We still need to vote for someone so that they can use the blood for the ritual...

Or are you thinking that we should make a game plan and then vote for whoever based on what we decide?

I know that we all want to honor the dead and why they died, if we get corpses this week, which we should. And we want that. But whether we vote for the right person or not does not matter at this point.

We can kill people outside of Thursday evening and we can kill people during Saturday, then if the next week is the cutoff of no return... We want to land on six after execution.

Then we'd need to kill another person off before Monday?

[ IS THAT WHERE WE ARE AT? ]

[oh boy i love math]

...Pretty much. And we should make sure none of the last five is afflicted, so that they're not in danger of getting killed.

Does anyone know if Yuffie got a curio from the swamp for killing Lucas at trial?

[oh he looks surprised at this]

...She never said, but I can ask her. [oh] Speaking of Lucas -- he's the one who apparently killed Ichi.

And Aerith? Wow.

[ Crossing his arms and thinking.... ]

If Yuffie can get a swamp trove, we know killing and reviving would sever the monster affinity. It'd also however null the wish from partner bonds.

[at this, he grimaces]

...I don't know if it severs the affinity, actually. Or if it does, then it hasn't worked on Cami.

Ahhh, so we don't know if the note Nehan wrote about there being no monster ties down there still applies to those we bring back after death.

All right, then we just need to account for all of the monsters.

[nodding]

We've got Ash for Nina. [and later lavi will tell both jjks that Ashlyn also killed Tomi] And whoever the cult will summon this week.

Would it be easier if they summoned more this time or less?
