I think the bigger set were faked. That's why they didn't look close to anyone in camp.

But it might not be Flayn, yeah. It could be Lili or Escha too. And with Lili, she's got an obvious helper: her boyfriend. ...and actually, thinking about it now, their effect couldn't be verified, yeah?

[survivaltricks]

It couldn't, but Ash clarified for me that Ookurikara's power wasn't the transformation power.

[and he trusts Ash, of all people]

And what's more, Ookurikara didn't bear anything that looked like one of Minako's marks. But then again-- no one I checked did.

Then I think you're right about the mark getting transferred to me.

[He holds up his left hand, showing off the cut on his index finger.]

This would match what she can do, yeah? Or maybe the oval-shaped bruise on my back?

[survivaltricks]

[he]

[stares at that mark for a long, long minute]

[. . .]

. . . I suppose it would. [but] That's so much less obvious than the X or the circle.

Dimitri had a nick on his thumb, too.

[shortforever]

Yeah? Did it look just like this one?

[survivaltricks]

It was-- kind of similar, yeah.

[but]

But I don't think he'd kill Minako, either. He was her friend, back on the island.

[shortforever]

[Ah, yeah. Friends wouldn't kill friends. He nods.]

Probably not him, then.

[survivaltricks]

. . . yeah.

[but]

[he really has nothing else to go on, as far as Minako's mark is concerned]

Her mark must have been something we weren't prepared to look for.

[shortforever]

Or someone hid it. What are the chances someone injured themselves on purpose to cover up that mark?
