[Talk - Michi]

I poked my head inside the closet at the back of the room, wondering if there might be some evidence hiding there… Instead, I found Michi lounging on a pile of towels.

Tim sighs.
Timaeus
What… are you doing.
Michi shrugs.
Michi
Just sitting down for a second? What’s it look like?
Tim yells.
Timaeus
It looks like you’re taking a nap when there’s a freaking dead body in the next room!! How can you just not care about that–
Michi actually looks a little angry for once.
Michi
–Of course I fucking care, dude! I actually liked Guga… But what the hell am I supposed to do? Run around in a panic like you and get in people’s way?
Tim looks frustrated.
Timaeus
I-I’m just trying to–
Michi snorts.
Michi
If you’re looking for evidence, you stomped right past it, by the way.
Tim thinks.
Timaeus
Huh?

I looked around the closet for anything he could be talking about. Just more spare clothes and linens, those first aid kits in the corner, a shelf of bottles of laundry and bleach–

Tim thinks.
Timaeus
Oh, there’s a bottle of bleach missing…
Michi snorts.
Michi
It ain’t missing, dude. It’s right there by the door.
Tim looks embarrassed.
Timaeus
Oh.

It wasn’t immediately visible when looking at the laundry room from the entrance, but there was in fact an empty bottle of bleach on the floor, next to the closet door.

Michi frowns.
Michi
I ran some laundry yesterday morning and all the bottles were still on that shelf. I guess they’re too tall for the cabinets in the laundry room or something.
Tim frowns.
Timaeus
And they’re the biggest bottles of anything liquid in this room…

Evidence List Updated!

Bleach Bottle
There’s an empty bleach bottle next to the door of the laundry room closet. Michi said it was still on its shelf when he did laundry the previous morning.
Michi shrugs.
Michi
Didn’t find anything in here that matched Riko’s description of the murder weapon, either.
Tim sighs.
Timaeus
Alright… Sorry I snapped at you.
Michi shrugs.
Michi
It’s whatever. Just don’t go saying stupid shit to people who’d actually get hurt.
