It doesn't seem like it was. [He still has his doubts, but... if it is, then the only way they'll know for sure is if Sei keels over dead, probably by tomorrow.] Some people seem to believe it was Mister Hythlodaeus, but I don't think so. At least, not if he wasn't influenced in some way--but I still think a third party was involved. Riku's gun still had the bullet in it.
[He's still stuck on the guns--it feels like he missed something there.]
Stopped, or he didn't have the chance to fire. Sora and Miss Kairi said it looked like he might've had a physical fight when they examined him.
[And there were signs of that in the convenience store, but no way of telling if it was related to Riku or not. They weren't able to check a lot of things.]
It's odd that he didn't mention anything to them in the truck, though. Either his mental state was affected, or he didn't want to worry them... but I only spoke to him a few times.
[So he can't really say his character judgments with confidence, even if he's usually okay at it.]
I felt like he would've said something to them. Some things he might hide to seem cool, but... I think he would've warned them if there were people he got into a fight with.
[ Riku probably wouldn't want Sora and Kairi to be caught by surprise.... right?
but they haven't even known each other for a week. barely that. ]
[He seemed a little more chill about it, but he was still a pretty earnest dude. So many things don't make sense.]
...It might be better to focus on getting out of here. [Somehow. What else can they even do to figure this out? The bodies and evidence are (presumably) gone.] But I'd like for them to have answers nonetheless.
[Does he personally care? Sure, somewhat. Iris's death was the most impactful for him, but it's hard not to when the dude died right in front of them. But he cares far more about the people Riku left behind, and the helplessness he knows they must be feeling.]
[People stay dead more often than not, where he's from, but he doesn't have it in him to argue right now. If she wants to stay convinced that the dead can come back to life through non-horrific, permanent means, then let her.]
We'll just have to continue searching.
[spoilers he will not do that after sunday but it's fine.]
[Something that isn't fuckin CHEERING ALL GENKI-LIKE, SEI but he bites that back because he remembers their other conversation. This is a small consolation after he punched her but it's fine.]

No, no, you helped more than I did! We just didn't know how to look at the evidence. The Icee didn't taste funny or anything, and I feel okay, so....
no subject
Please don't lick evidence next time.

Umm, I dunno if it makes sense if he died the same way? Like, I dunno if murder-suicide fits his vibes. It doesn't seem like him.
[ even if she only had one conversation with hythlodaeus. ]
And if Rikki had a gun that wasn't used, that means he was stopped from using it, right?

[ but part of the reason i apped sei is because she has very few braincells. ]
But if we can get people back and leave, that'd be the hypest.
[ she doesn't know if everyone can come back to life, but it's not so out of left field for her that at least one can.
and. well. sunday will kind of prove that even if it's in a terrible way. ]

Heck yeah!! We'll find it for sure.
[ sei shares that mood after sunday, too. ]
