[Dongrang makes a thoughtful hum as he returns to his glass. Beelzebub has a sense of justice, huh?]
Ah. Sampo, I'm guessing?
[What happened to Keito is perfectly clear at this point, but everything surrounding Sampo's death remains murky. What did happen there?]

[She hesitates.] I'm not sure I know how to answer that question for certain. Should it really feel that way?
[She's someone who knew nothing about love until very recently.... but the hesitation in Mio's voice could just as easily be the reluctance of someone who just barely knows, but is already learning, that love is indeed capable of causing great pain.]

Yes.
[It’s frankly ridiculous that he should care about someone he’d only just met, but that’s what you get for having a total of four friends in your immortal life.]
It seems…it was some accident involving Keito, based on Sora’s words. [That talk of sleepwalking…he was very vague about it, wasn’t he?] But we may never find out what actually happened.
[And with the perpetrator already gone…what does he do with all these feelings?]

She was very confident about being totally wrong, our great detective.
[ There's a snicker. Bibi generally likes Erika more than others (she's entertaining and mean in a pleasant way, when it's not in Bibi's direction) but she is absolutely not above making fun of people she likes. If anything, she'll do it more. ]
Evidence should be everything in court, but this was a lot of guesswork.

[This, too, is something she hesitates to answer at first. So many things over her ten terms have been cruel to the point of misfortune, all the orchestrations of an unending war that benefits none of the people fighting it. Even being brought here, spirited away from the one moment she might purposefully change the course of her life, is downright unlucky.
But even inside all that, the people she's met, the things she could see, the feelings that have grown in her heart... Where would she be without them? Her hand clenches into a loose fist right above the crystal in her chest.]
... Yeah. I do.

... Yeah. I do.
[She doesn't expect that sentiment or how kind of it seems, especially not on the heels of admitting that she thinks she's lucky despite all she's encountered. Mio's golden eyes widen and blink, and it takes her a moment to refind her voice. Will she truly understand love by the end of all of this? Will it hurt more top have it or to lose it? Finally, she speaks again.
Well, what about you?
Well, what about you?
Love…
[Is something he’s felt. In all his life, he thought he never would; that he’d be destined to be alone, that love would be something beyond his reach.
But those people he loved…where are they now? There’s a hole, but even without explanation the result is still there: they’re gone.
Beelzebub’s face twists into a smile.]
…Is not something I’m meant for.

What do you mean he didn't
[She stops typing, a little exasperated with herself for even asking. Keep your head, Mio.]
I haven't seen Bibi or anyone else.
Who was there with you exactly?

All of them are gone?
[She also pauses, but it's not because names are hard. It's because this is hitting her like a ferronis.]
I'll keep looking down here but I'll be up soon. Maybe you should stay with him.

[Names really are so hard for him, girl help. It's hard to figure out sometimes, but in this case she's pretty sure he means Erika.]
The "door could open"?
I wonder if that means someone broke into the house or they left beforehand...

YEAH THAT CHICK WAS RUNNING AROUND LIKE A MAD NUT
TAPING UP ALL THE DOORS AROUND YO
JUST BEFORE THINGS WERE LOCKED UP FOR THE NIGHT
[ He thinks it would be hilarious if she passed out mid-taping but you know not the time to bring that up ]
THEY WERE IN HERE WHEN IT WAS TAPED UP
AMY WAS THE ONE WHO SAW HER DOING IT FIRST

[ That meeting was definitely not concerning what so ever.
Anyways, Nine is going to be here looking around for Mio. ]
Hey, are you here? [ A beat ] And alone? [ He's not interrupting anything, right? ]

[Not in the slightest!
That hesitation before his final question stirs an embarrassment in Mio that she doesn't fully comprehend...but she also isn't completely ignorant to it. She knows what he's asking and why. Luckily, he's managed to find her during a rare moment of disentangling from Noah.]
I'm upstairs! Just me. [Just her... It would be just her no matter what. The rest of the farmhouse is empty.]

[ Do they need to figure out a system for if they have company? This is now prime real estate for any canoodling now that it's just the two of them. If you ignore you know why it's just the two of them.
He'll head up stairs with his hands behind his back. ]
How you feeling after all of that? [ It sure was a meeting. It sure has been a week or even weeks ]

I'm all right. [She's so used to saying that, convincingly or not, but this time, at least, the reassurance comes with something else attached.]
It's... a lot to take in, right? How are we supposed to know what to do to make sure we're on the right path now? Time is so short. [And not just for her; the harvest shouldn't be far off. Everyone is working with borrowed time.]

[ Sounds like someone he knows. He isn't going to push it though. ]
We don't. The only way to know for sure if we just do it, yo. If it winds up being wrong, then we can do the next thing until we get it right.
