Yup.

... They took away Tuuri's autonomy and made her their puppet, Date. And then they used her hands to kill Kon while they watched. Left her with all that guilt. [A little scoff.] Anyone can become a murderer. But it takes a certain kind of person to deliberately use someone like that. I know the type.
I’m still not sure if they puppeteered her or made her think she killed him— I don’t know. Not sure which is worse, overall. Truly believing you killed someone or killing someone without control.

And that’s not even getting into how they pulled it off.
Second one. [Immediately. He has... strong feelings about this.] At least, in the case of fake memories, you could eventually learn the truth. But whatever they did, they must've used an item to do it.
[ date just reaches out to wrap his arm around his shoulders and give him a quick, brief squeeze. ]
It didn't seem like the kind of thing used to make people alpacas. Most of those curses were just kind of... funny and weird. [ and also ominous blood rain ]

I think there's a whole lot more we should've been taking a look at, but we're used to a confession like that happening at the final hour.

Yeah, well, that's not an excuse. And now it's too late to do anything about it, take it back.

[Just a little hum that's neither a yes nor a no.]
We need to figure out a way to narrow the list of suspects down, to less than just everyone who has access to an item that night.

They really shouldn't be allowed to go home. And I don't just mean because they hurt Tuuri and Kon. Is there really nothing we can do?
