Part 39: Rec Room

VLR OST: [Desperation]


...









That's why I can look at a room full of corpses and laugh.

The genes I've been given by a million years of evolution have changed my fear into ecstasy.






Yeah.
You're right. He is still out there.




I mean, you said yourself that there was no way there was a tenth uninvited player out there when Alice was killed.
And we've also refuted the possibility of Zero Sr. being the tenth person.
There is no tenth person.
The only people alive are you, me, and Quark.



Listen in: [English/Japanese]


You're being ridiculous. Look at their bodies.




Do you really think a child Quark's size could do that?


Are you saying you killed them?

And "wound width" would be how wide the flat end of the wound is.


In other words...


Those numbers describe the size and shape of the wound, right?


Right.


So if they match, then that means this knife was ued to kill the old woman!




...




He must have... gotten it from Alice.


I know that.
What I mean is, why'd he take it?




Maybe he was the one who killed Alice...


That would match up with what we saw...


No, wait. Hold on a second. I'm getting confused here.






Right.


So Dio took it from her and stabbed her?


...


If that's what happened, why didn't he just take the knife then?
Why leave it there for us to see, then come back and get it later?


...


...




First I want you to have a look at something else.


What?


Don't you remember what I said? I found two things.
There was the knife, and...
