In the Nonary Game, it was three for revenge. There were nine of us playing, two more victims, and two people who orchestrated the whole thing. In the Decision Game, it was all of us multiple times until we found the right timeline. There were ten of us playing that time, but one of us set the whole thing up.
[There's a long few seconds, and then he scoffs softly. Multiple timelines? Way above his paygrade. Does he want to know? Kind of, but much like the sword people, he just plain doesn't have enough energy to ask.]
[Mood, Haymitch. Even Junpei himself has a hard time wrapping his head around it. There's a pause...and he nods.]
The Decision Game was a trap set up by someone we met days before we woke up in the bomb shelter. [...he takes a longer drink, more hesitant with this answer.] And the Nonary Game was...someone I thought I knew really well. But after all that, it felt like I didn't really know her at all.
It's kind of why I'm almost sure there are people among us helping with this whole thing.
You'd think, but if they left who would be here to make sure the game was running as smoothly as it should? Steering people off-course when they get close to an answer, spreading false information...there are all sorts of ways you can look completely helpless while being a mastermind.
[Suspects though...there's a defeated sort of sigh.] I've been trying to pinpoint somebody but it's still too early. Which is impressive since we've been here for two weeks. There are definitely people I don't trust, and people that seem like they'd do anything for their own gain, but I don't have enough proof.
It's not. [But he thinks on that carefully.] Sometimes I'm not sure what side of things Shiraishi's on. I don't really trust Illumi not to be easily swayed and assigned a job he can't say no to. Maou's too over the top to ignore. And...Aizawa's hard to get a read on, too.
But obviously without proof I can't very well go around and ask them about it. But I'm keeping an eye on things.
Believe me, I know. [But he does appreciate the advice even if the words are a little stilted.] It's...my job isn't exactly the most safe. Or legal. I've picked up a few tricks over the last year that I've been keeping in mind.

It's possible. But it seems like you'd wanna get out of here when the killing started. You'd think they'd leave with Nathan and the others, yeah?
Any suspects?
