From the timing of it... I did wonder if maybe it was something a victim had done to their killer to try to defend themselves.
[she frowns, thinking about it.]
...if the llama is a person, I don't think they're a culprit. It would make little to no sense to show themsleves if they had anything to hide. Of course, I can reevaluate this assessment if we end up finding some evidence of a llama's involvement in any of these cases.
Rather - as our numbers have been whittled down, there have been fewer of us who have been able to investigate. And with lots of ground to cover, the chances of us missing something if we don't have enough of us who can readily look around are high. I wonder if maybe a culprit used the plush on someone to either prevent them from investigating, or to cast suspicion upon them.
... I think it's possible you're giving the culprits too much credit. But we'll see what happens tomorrow. From the sound of it, you couldn't identify who the llama might have been, right?
So, if someone shows up tomorrow and admits to being cursed as a llama, then it's less likely that they have something to hide. But if no one admits to it... then that's a little suspicious.
Though, we're just hypothesizing without knowing how the curse actually works. You don't know who bought that plushie, do you?
Maybe. The more we know about what the victims might have had at their disposal, the more we'll be able to figure out about what they might have been able to do to their assailants, and the less likely we are to overlook something.
...yes, let's. The people we've lost... they all deserve to at least have us figure out what happened to them. We haven't always managed it in the past, but... I don't want to keep failing them.

and then, slowly:]
... I noticed a llama plushie up for sale a few weeks ago. You don't think...?
no subject
...it's possible. But if that's what happened, I really question the judgment of whoever did it.

No, I don't know.
...but I guess if we find the plushie somewhere, that might also indicate that it was involved. If we don't find it - then it may not have been.
no subject
I'll ask around. I don't think Valerie owned one of those plushies. But maybe TBD or Team Justice knows something.

I'm tired of overlooking stuff, or talking ourselves in circles, so... let's do our best to be thorough tomorrow.
