[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?

If they summon more... It means we also have to catch more?

[ Is that right. ]

...Yeah.

[but they'd also kill more.... this is a shitty line of thinking but lavi thinks it anyway]

We can also kill more without monsters.

I hate trial!

[groans]

Me too.

If the dead are trying to tell us we're going too slow, though... We can't rely on the cult to get us to six.

We just have to be prepared for desperate measures. I guess some people will start dying in a trickle before Thursday evening.
