[Even when Kise speaks to her, Menma continues holding her rigid pose, magnifying glass on her eye and a hand on her hip and all. She doesn't even look up at him quite yet when she responds. She just... continues staring straight ahead, making sure she doesn't miss anything! Or.. something.]

The murderer!

[obviously. come on kise.]

[comprehending]

[ ... Wow. She's probably going to need a push. Hmmm, putting his hands on his hips and leaning back a little, comfortably. ]

Aah, isn't that what you're supposed to be figuring out? Who the murderer is?

[ Logic, Menma. ]

[uprooted]

[Ah, well... Menma tilts her head.]

Well... the murderer is the murderer, isn't he?

[...Oh, wait. This guy means specifically, doesn't he?] I have no idea who that is though! [said in delight. yep.]

[comprehending]

[ Well it's a good thing none of them can actually die, then, seeing as this little detective wouldn't get them anywhere, most likely ...

Hmm, trying to find a way to give her a push then. ]

Well, usually, when you're trying to figure out the murderer in a game like this, you'd have to interrogate people or look for clues. We're never gonna solve this case without doing that!

[uprooted]

[No she will totally figure out who the killer is okay. She's determined!

...but yeah no she probably won't be able to do much at all. But she can try!]

Oh! In that case... [Before getting to the fact that she had an index card full of clues under her chair... she pulls the magnifying glass back up to her face, then stands on the tips of her toes to get as close to Kise as possible.] Did you do it?!

[He did mention interrogating, sooo..]

[comprehending]

[ WH ....

WELL at least she's doing her job now. But he's going to go ahead and look overly surprised, and then wave his hands in front of himself and lean back away from her a little. Looking innocent! ]

Do you think a handsome prince like me would kill someone?

[ Hehehe being dressed up as the prince is kind of fun — ]

'f course not! I'm on your side!

[uprooted]

[Geez, you're looking waaaay too overly surprised! That could be suspicious on its own, Kise!]

Well, you never know! There are some stories where even the prince can be evil, after all...

...But I think I can trust you anyway!

[comprehending]

[ Shhh, he's just a very exaggerated person sometimes, okay. He's totally not a killer! That would just feel really dirty to do, even in the afterlife, sob ... ]

I promise I'm one of the good princes! I'll even help you catch the murderer!

[ A bit of a laugh. ]

Glad you can trust me, though.

[uprooted]

[...!!

O-oh! He'll help...?! That's excellent...! Upon hearing that, Menma's expression lights up (even more, I guess), and she smiles widely.]

A-ahhh... R-really?! You could be like my Watson!

[comprehending]

[ ... Pffff. Well, at least she's having a good time. He's wondering how such a young kid could be so happy, even though she's dead, but he's not going to question it or ask her about it.

Just going to go along with her. ]

Then it's decided! I'll do whatever you need me to!

[uprooted]

[Granted, she only just got here, so if it she hadn't already known about her death, well... maybe she wouldn't be so happy! But of course, that's not the case.]

Okay! In that case, um... Find the murderer, Watson!

[prostrat]

[comprehending]

[ ... WELL. Maybe she needs a little more guidance — ]

There's more work to do than just that! And don't you wanna be the one to find him? I'm just the sidekick, right?
