And if he spent a day being highly suspicious of you, so much so that he actually went to other people to be like 'hey that girl, she's up to something', only to either kill you overnight or to turn up dead because he attacked you?
Hahahaha. Probably. Until then, I suppose we'll all remain in the dark.
... But my power doesn't do that either.
[ and like, why would she bother pointing the suspicion at herself unless this is extra reverse psychology levels of play going on. ]
Until we get a better idea of what it actually is, in any case, I don't think we'll be able to narrow down the titles that it could possibly be attached to very well either.
He tried to convince me that you were up to something, but when I told him that didn't sound like you he kinda went quiet and didn't bring it up further. That's why I had to come talk to you, to find out what actually happened.
Great. Guess if something happens tonight then I'll be waking up to people glancing sideways at me tomorrow.
[ not that they don't all the time already, but. ]
Hm, but it does sound like he's believing in this in isolation. Whatever happened doesn't seem like it manufactured any extra false memories that would help him prove that I was planning something, in his mind...
Or did it seem like he had more to say, but stopped after you disagreed?
Hmm. ♪ Well, it's inconvenient, but it seems this effect should be counteracted easily enough by pointing out the holes in Akira's reasoning and asking him to try to elaborate.
An unsubstantiated rumour shouldn't be too hard to work around, provided we're both still here tomorrow. There is the small chance that he might have extra privileges like some of us had in the mansion, but that's just speculation, and I'd be more concerned about the possibility of someone acting rashly under a power's influence.
Why would extra privileges make him wary of you specifically though? You're not doing anything wrong. I'd say it's someone else's power, that's it. That or he's just now learning you're a robot and he's robot-racist or something.
[That last part is a joke. He does not think Akira is a robot-racist.]
It's like that thing where the ones who could find monsters in the mansion could never say anything about who they were, or how they knew. In theory if I was somehow possessed or corrupted or something, and Akira found out, he could possibly try to abuse a loophole to tell people... and pass it off as the effect of a power instead of him actually knowing.
[ but that's convoluted levels of nonsense mindgame for little gain. ]
Of course, that doesn't really sound like Akira to me, but some of the rest of you know him better than me. Still, a decent amount of other people here probably know even less, so they might possibly believe something like that.
Yeah, I mean, if you WERE some kind of threat and Akira had found out, I'd know about it too. And I'd instantly tell at trial and get you voted out. So you wouldn't be trying to help me figure out what's going on, you'd be lying to cover it up and just go with the 'it's a power' idea.
[He also just trusts 45 too much. There's no way she's going to murder anyone, right?]
I think I'll go keep an eye on him until everyone goes to bed tonight though. Just to be sure he's okay. Leave it to him to run around and get in trouble in the middle of some paranoia.

[ she didn't say they were all equally feasible, considering akira apparently went around singing her praises to random people on the bus, but. ]

Yeah, he did. He said something felt off about you, but he couldn't explain it. And when I asked him to try, that's when he stopped.
