The crowd in the movie theater was quick to disperse following MonoMANU’s announcement. Though some lingered behind to have their questions answered, it was not long before the area was abandoned, left behind for better spaces to properly realize the severity of the motive, and what exactly was at stake...

Well, almost abandoned.

E.L.L.A finds themselves wandering the theater, examining the posters of films long gone hanging upon it’s pristine walls. A exact replica of a mid-twentieth century cinema, a precise copy of architecture near extinct due to the combination of destruction caused by The Tragedy, and the plain disrepair and rot 164 years could bring, and they couldn't even get themselves to properly focus on it. A shame, really.

The removal of something vital to your talent...in their case, they found it somewhat hard to be concerned. Replacements for lost IO parts were easy to come by now in days, so it wasn't as if disabling their eyes, or ears, or whatever else was required in order to properly observe others would be permanent. Yes, they doubted their captor would provide these things to them so easily, but with the added factor of a mysterious benefactor attempting to rescue them, they doubted they could really be inconvenienced for very long.

If they were drawn in the lottery, all that had to be done was adapt. Adapt and ensure that they won’t be seen as a potential target for murder-

The sound of footsteps upon tiles interrupt their thoughts, finding themselves turning to see where they had originated from.

Two. Two potentially game changing secrets that had been revealed to the Anthropologist. She could have thanked Shou for revealing it, if the timing hadn't been concurrent with a trial for murder. The tension that had encompassed the room made it near impossible for them to determine who was reacted to the tap dancer’s revelation, and not at any of the other revelations actually relevant to the trial.

They find themselves in the salon, laid down against  the massage table as one of the MANUs on hand worked out the tensions of the investigating all nighter. But the slacking of their body seemed to do nothing for the questions that swilled through her mind.

...Shou was out, considering he received the secret, and he at least seemed smart enough to not try and pass off their own secret as the one given to them. Also excluded was Neo, Purin, Tsukiko...They would have been able to feel it with Moe’s body...Hideki, Hideki was a maybe. But seeing his concerns had more to do with his name, they placed him in the “Not likely” column for now.

So, that would then leave them with seven people who were potentially an android.  And the number of suspects they had for their own secret was....seven people. 

Great.

Clearly more information had to be reviewed and uncovered before they came to a conclusion. Their attempt to recollect what was written about their classmate in their public bios on the school website was interrupted by the sound of the salon door opening.
