[shakes his head]

Mostly I just wanna know what's going on here.

What's going on is he's trying to make me look like a criminal!

Why? Did you two fight?

I don't remember any fight. I barely even talk to him.

Then why's he care if you look like a criminal or not?

I don't know! It doesn't make any sense!

... Carly. You're my teammate, so I trust you. But Kaito's my friend, and not the type to bring this kind of stuff up unless he honestly thinks something's up.

If I knew why he thought it was me, I'd tell you. But I don't. The last time I actually talked to him was when he came looking for help to find his teammates.

And that's when he mentioned his teammates getting mad?

No, he's never talked to me personally about this. He only talked to you and Mitsuru.

Okay, Mitsuru then.

[nods] It was at the start of Persona's game. A day after you'd left.

Right.

... so what about that flint?

Which flint? The one we got back during Game Master's game?

That's the one.

It was a good piece. I got s spearhead and a knife blade from it. They should last a while.

But you're not angry about it having been taken from us? Because I'm pretty sure that happened during the Surgeon game.

Of course I'm angry. We were—and when we finally, finally got to come back, they'd gone through all our things! I still haven't gotten back some missing hair ribbons! —And do you know only one person has apologized to me for it? One! And he didn't even want to!

Badger?

He's the one. It was just the other day.

[nods]

Well, Kaito apologized to me. Brought all the shit he'd stolen back.

How nice that he decided apologizing to you was the same as apologizing to me. Just like asking you and Mitsuru if I might have done something.

And he obviously didn't bring back that piece of flint.

Well, the shit he'd stolen was my stuff, or community things. Food and my badge. I think he might have apologized to Chaz too.

I'm thinking Lucky was the one who had that. And that Kaito didn't know.

Does it matter? I've still never gotten an apology I didn't have to fight for.

If I'm apologizing to a team, I don't actually apologize to every single member, y'know? The person I affected most, yeah, and then the leader. I mean, you still should've gotten an apology, but I can see why he didn't get that far.
