W0 POST TRIAL

[divineimpulse]

Rita, it's Byleth.

How are you feeling?

[overlimit]

Just fine. Why wouldn't I be?

[divineimpulse]

[ah rita. what a kid. :)]

That's good to hear.

Some people aren't taking things as well.

[overlimit]

Are they?

I mean, I guess that's not so weird. The whole thing was pretty exhausting, and we're still missing a lot of answers.

[divineimpulse]

It was. We are.

Are you working on the device?

[overlimit]

You mean Beauregard's phone?

[divineimpulse]

Yes, the phone.

Did you find anything interesting about it?

[overlimit]

There are still some things I need to check, but

to be honest, she's in really bad shape. I don't know if I can save her. But I want to try.

[divineimpulse]

[...

the phone has a gender. that's right. rita has offhandedly said it in the trial.]

Are you familiar with the technology?

[overlimit]

It's pretty different from what we use in my world, but I've already grasped the basics. I'll just need to do a little more research before I start seriously tinkering with something this delicate.

There's the issue of tools, too.

[divineimpulse]

[...]

I wonder if our dormitory leaders can help supply you with that.

[overlimit]

I'm sure they can. It's just a question of how much it'll cost, and whether it's really wise to prioritize this over the other things I could spend vouchers on.

[divineimpulse]

Do you have many vouchers?

[overlimit]

Just the one I started with.

Why? Were you able to get more already?

[divineimpulse]

No, not yet.

But maybe we should've asked in trial how many each person currently held.

[overlimit]

Maybe. Then again, we only barely solved the murder with the time we had. Might be for the best that we didn't mess around even more than we already did.

I am kind of curious, though. About what exactly the metrics for "being a good student" are, and how that translates into more vouchers.

[divineimpulse]

I'm curious myself.

[hmm]

Would you like to share each time we manage to increase our vouchers?

[overlimit]

I guess I don't mind. The more information we have, the better.

me, repeatedly missing the text tag:

[divineimpulse]

Let's try to gather as many as we can, and report when they grow.

Perhaps we can involve others, and get a larger sample.

fonts >:(

[overlimit]

Sure.

Hey, can I ask you about something totally unrelated?

[divineimpulse]

Of course.

[overlimit]

Some of the other people here... They're your students?

[divineimpulse]

Dimitri and Claude, yes.

Who did you hear it from?

[more out of interest than anything else.]

[overlimit]

Claude said some things that made me think that might be the case.

[divineimpulse]

[on the other end of the phone, she smiles softly.]

It's no secret.

They're two of my precious students.
