[ Medb's emotions are not blank, but they are unreadable. She wasn't surprised Childe was listed yesterday. She wasn't surprised that people didn't try that hard today either. She isn't mad at what she expected.
There is some curiosity at Harrow's words, though. ]
[ You know that feeling how someone telling you not to do something makes you want to do it? There's that feeling for a fleeting moment before she reads over the message.
Her brows knit. There's some genuine confusion. ]
I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but thanks. They can't be straightforward even in death.
If they're not trying to hide something in that message to me and it's only personal, I think they're talking about how they lied to me about what they do and don't remember. About what kind of Servant they are. If there's supposed to be some kind of second meaning...
I'm not sure because I don't know how apologetic they are about anything else.
[ There is a sense of acknowledgment that she came to realize just how bad a clown Douman was by the time they died. ]

Something for me? What's that?
no subject
[She will show her an image on her phone.]
The second part seems to be a message from Douman to you; I wanted you to see it.

I'm not really sure why they wrote to me at all. I was hardly a fan.
no subject
Maybe it's for your brutal honesty. Or maybe now that they're dead, they want to be more antagonistic?
[ It's hard to peer into the depths of that clown's mind. ]
Is the win condition part something you don't want to discuss?
no subject
I don't mind you knowing about it, but there are some I would prefer not to know about it.
[Almost like it's someone who could be eavesdropping on conversations?]
no subject
Okay.
[ She sighs. ]
I kind of wish we had a jammer of some kind for those we don't care to hear.
no subject
Agreed. But. . . I'd like your help in trying to make sense of it, even if we shouldn't do so now.
[She knows Douman, after all; it might be helpful in figuring out what they meant.]
We were also warned last week about 'backstabbers.' [A glance at the ceiling again.] So. I think caution is warranted.

But what of the rest, do you think? Can you make any sense of it?
no subject
If it's after we had our meeting, they're probably encouraging us to use our remaining magnifying glasses.
I feel like I need more context about what you don't want to discuss, but I wonder if they wrote a name they shouldn't have.
[ If it got covered. ]
no subject
[Hmm.]
I think they likely wrote a name they shouldn't have. And what that name might be is what I'm worried about talking about.
no subject
[ SQX said as much during the meeting.
Medb nods and there's almost a pinprick of dissatisfaction. ]
I guess that can be something to try to find out if we want to...
no subject
[And that's all she'll say but then some things happened so I'll send you a follow up text.]
