Exactly.

However, you are slightly wrong about that. I have already done so.

... While I certainly did not get an exact verbal confirmation,I dare say everything else should suffice.

[young_oldman]

Good. That should save us precious time then. What information did your dolls carry to you?

[shanghaiworld]

I would call her house haunted if my dolls were not prime targets for possession. The area itself seemed to warp about her, furniture was being lifted from the ground. I'll be honest, I have no idea how the place isn't a visible source of disturbance.

[Personally, Alice isn't going to go there herself now. Not that she was, but now she has a reason.]

... There was also this really weird bear there.

[young_oldman]

Would you be able to share any...for lack of a better word, memories from your dolls? We may have to show them as proof.

And what was strange about the bear? Not a real one, I should hope!

[shanghaiworld]

This memory sharing thing is weird, at least this one is more recent. [And a tour of Junko's estate is shown after a moment of working on it. A clear display that not all is well there. The bear is also shown off. The... really small, white and black bear.]

You saw it, right? I'd call it a toy if it wasn't for the fact half of it makes me think 'serial killer'.

[young_oldman]

It...is not a normal stuffed toy, but we can't use a toy's appearance as evidence against a person's conduct. Still, you've collected quite a lot of valuable evidence, Miss Margatroid. With this, I believe I will have enough to appeal to Sergeant Taciyon to look into Miss Enoshima's crystal records.

[shanghaiworld]

I can sure use it as evidence that she has poor taste in toys.

But, you're welcome. Do you have any ideas on what to do, if it turns out that I'm right?

[young_oldman]

I have some ideas...but if you have any suggestions, I welcome them.

[He sighs and raises a hand to his temples.]

This case with Junko will prove a mess. There will be many voices clamoring for one solution over the other.

[shanghaiworld]

However, we hardly have the time to think up many solutions. Of course I have my own, but they are part of those that would require time.

[young_oldman]

Then please prepare them. When this is all over, we will have to consider best how to handle Miss Enoshima. I fear that the means to do so are well outside my capabilities.

[shanghaiworld]

The best option would be to find a way to block that connection, on a one person basis. If that could happen, she could probably live out whatever life she wants, without having this looming threat upon her and everyone else. Every other option I can think of directly affects her.

It's also the most difficult option, as I have no idea how to start it.

Just figures that it would be, of course...
