[yeaaaaah he kind of expected that reaction. he remembers akechi calling ann part of a group of thieves, which means—she's one of akira's friends, undoubtedly.]
... Our coerced killers were always a duo, each week after the first. They were expected to work together to carry out the murder.
He threw her under a bus, probably to make himself look more innocent. When the evidence became stacked against her, she confessed and then returned the favour by outing him.
[this is fine because belph also did not want to talk about it, but he figured it'd be better for akira to know now instead of accidentally tuning in midweek and seeing akechi's eventual boyfriend drown ann........]
Have you?

No matter what I ask, they keep insisting that it's a "residual." "Everything goes back to remnants," they say. They won't give me a name, or even admit that it has any kind of physical form. It's just. . . a construct? Something created by our memories and experiences.
Something so stupidly vague it's frustrating to be told that it's our enemy.
[HE WANTS SOMETHING PHYSICAL TO FIGHT DAMN IT. LIKE A HOUSE]
I even asked if I could talk to the owner of the voice, but I got told that it was either impossible or just a really really really bad idea.
... I guess that goes in line with what they've been saying, about how there's only ever been the three of them here. Pink would either have to be something that came with us or something that doesn't count as a "being".
... There's also still the matter of Mask Guy. I doubt they're what we're looking for exactly, but I'm pretty sure they're not unrelated to Pink in some manner either.
Lili told me that the masked guy is here to help us, though she doesn't yet know how. And when I asked the directors about them, they wouldn't give me any answers but insisted I talk to them myself.
Shadows seemed extra pushy about me talking to them, so. . . I wonder if the masked guy is also a residual.
Maybe. But what I meant was that if we can solve what Mask Guy is, it might give us some answers as to what Pink is, in turn. Even if they're not on the same side.

[TIME TO JUST. FUCKING MOVE ON BECAUSE HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO UNPACK THAT ANY FURTHER]
. . . have you tried talking to the director's about Pinkie? Beyond just asking Heart if doing their task would be detrimental to us.

[but how do they defeat something that isn't a being]
I asked Shadows if there's a way to dispel the "residuals" from this world. They didn't think there was, but. . .
