Yes, that's right. As expected of a great detective.
[Trying to lighten up the mood but, like. Tired.]
I'm sure there will be more feathers this week because of Rin. But... if someone got one, and they voted for someone else or even voted twice... I think that's something we need to figure out before that information lands in the wrong hands. Like, literally anyone who said they believe in revenge murder?
[He's silent for a moment, reaching into his satchel with his hand to pull out his pipe. For now, he'll just hold it in his mouth, musing.]
Yes. I would not wish that anyone would take direct action against the perpetrator. Goodness knows what the consequences would be, besides taking a life.
[...]
Are you proposing limiting the information to a select few, then?
... Not necessarily. But I also don't think it's something that should be shared in a public forum until we know what to do with it, you know? I mean, it's like Susato said today. We don't know who's listening.
[Say, someone's mad enough on Susato's behalf that all it takes is a dustball tapping their shoulder. Or the killer finds out and loses their shit. Both are bad.]
Mmm. I think you're right about that. It is sensitive information. So far, we have not caught a previous murderer. One could only assume the chaos that may happen if they are, indeed, discovered and put forth into a public setting.
[As she said earlier.]
But...this assumes people have received rewards for correct answers. Did they get such in the previous times?
[She cuts herself off, as if realizing something.]
Oh... You were asleep for that... [SIR, YOUR CONCUSSION.] Okay. Well, Rochalizo, Yelena and some others had extra feathers that didn't come from the errands we run every Wednesday. After a while, we figured out it was because of their votes.
Hm. I see...though, in that case, did anyone ask them how many votes they put in, and for who? Was it simply just for Suigetsu?
Because in this case, with multiple people voting for Mr. Rin...I would be surprised if people didn't get feathers. Unless the requirement is to get all the perpetrators correctly.
Oh, no. Their feathers were for guessing Qi Rong and Bertolt's teams correctly. I'm not sure if anyone got extras last week, actually... Wouldn't they have said something by now?
[Last week was a mess, my dude.]
But that's why I want to ask if they voted for someone else, or even voted twice. In the latter case, if one of those votes was for Rin but they guessed the wrong team, wouldn't that mean their second vote was correct?

... Yes.
[Quietly. She takes a seat as well, Pygmalion bumping his head against her leg, softly whining.]
I knew today would be a bad day, but... not like this.
no subject
[He shakes his head.]
A terrible outcome. And now...we have to get ready for a new world, and new mysteries, without even really having a chance to breathe.

[Someone does not just recuperate from watching their sibling putt a bullet though their skull overnight, man. She's stressed.
But, as a parenthesis--]
By the way, Sholmes... Can I ask if you got a new feather today? Yes or no is fine. I won't ask what it does.
no subject
[And a tilt of his head.]
Mmm. No, not today. Have you received something, my dear madam?
no subject
[But, she sighs.]
Ah... Well, that's a shame. I'm looking for someone who got one so they can confirm something for me.
no subject
[He hums.]
Let me see...you are attempting to see who guessed correctly on Mr. Rex's murder, yes?

It is a complicated matter. And one I do think needs clarification. Lest we be barking up the wrong tree for someone who may have a feather.
