I spy with my little witchy eye two partners who live in a hut together.

Everyone's been doing a lot of thinking.

[even Magilou. distant, detached and uncaring Magilou, turned do-gooder by the circumstances of this stupid murder game]

What sort of backtracking were you thinking of?

[cutefaced]

The Chiefs laugh at me and ignore me a lot. That better be why.

[She'll feel a little better if that's why?]

Last trial we talked a lot about virtual reality and what is and isn't real... a lot of that doesn't make very much sense to me. It's all really complicated.

[She huffs. This would all be so much easier if it was a dream.]

But if we're on the right track, then maybe we should think about what specifically we were saying?

[A pause.]

...Magilou, are you still writing things down for your book?

[zerotohiro]

Robots can be pretty willful. Baymax ignores me all the time.

[But anyway.] That was my fault. If I'd known you didn't even know what movies were I would have explained it a lot better. We already know this place can't possibly be real. None of it makes sense otherwise. But yeah. We talked about virtual reality and I know you thought it was like a dream, but they're not the same. A lot of people were talking about how to use our last question, too. Which...we still have one from Kyouko's game. We should figure out how to use that.

[Before he goes too far, however, there's a pause.] You've been taking notes?

[spinatalltale]

[she pulls up a grin, and waves a hand]

Diligently! ☆ Well, it's more like a novelization of everything happening on the island, but--

[to Yona]

Why do you ask?

[cutefaced]

...they're not the same, but wouldn't it be simpler for it to be a dream? And Keith said... it's not as complicated as we think.

[Yona shrugs. She wouldn't know the difference either way, really.]

We can think about the simplest theories we have and see if there are any clues we can find that fit them...

[And then, to Magilou -]

I just thought, if you look through them, maybe you noted down what things people said that the Chiefs laughed at. Or you might help us remember things that we didn't think too much about before.

[zerotohiro]

It would be stupidly simple which is why we didn't think it was possible. But she's right. Magilou, if you have anything that might point us in the right direction...? [Please share?]

[spinatalltale]

That sure is a big favor you're asking of me. What do I get in return?

[but despite her protests, she is pulling out her journal and flipping through it!]

[cutefaced]

...you get to leave here alive if we figure this out?

[probably.]

[zerotohiro]

We're on a deserted island covered in snow. It's not like we have a ton of options. [But there's a huff.] ...you share with us, I'll tell you anything else I learn before the trial. I've been investigating on my own. Yona knows.

What's it say about the dream theory? Or about the Wickie or anything that might be helpful?
