TEXT ♞ IT WASN'T ME, MA

[optimistical]

If Retrospec gives you an item that you suspect is a murder weapon, what do you do with it? Should it be turned into the police or do you just keep it somewhere...? And what if you accidentally already got your fingerprints all over it...?

... hypothetically asking.

1. You think it's a murder weapon
2. You got it

You can't expect every murderer to be good about keeping their murder secrets.

[optimistical]

But I swear I didn't murder anyone!

Isn't it possible to get back items that don't belong to you?

[glaciers]

Maybe you don't remember it completely.

I don't know. I've only gotten things I've worn.

[optimistical]

No, I'm pretty sure I'm not the one who used this knife.

Well, I don't specifically remember who used it or if it's even the same one, but if it is, then I can't be the one who used it.

[glaciers]

Does it have blood on it now?

Or is it just a knife with your prints on it?

[optimistical]

It does. It's all dried up.

But the knife only has my prints because I touched it to take it out of the mailbox. I don't know what prints were on it before since I'm not sure how to check for that.

[glaciers]

I don't know anything about types of prints.

Going to the police is probably the better option.

If you want to get rid of it, I can help with that.

[optimistical]

Do you really think I should get rid of it?

[glaciers]

What are you going to do with it otherwise?

If it's not yours and it's was a murder weapon of somebody who isn't here right now, but could show up later, then there will be two murder weapons.

The final decision rests with you.

[optimistical]

I didn't think of it like that... but if the murderer is here in Recolle, I'd like to think that they're not like how they were in their past life.

Who they were in the past shouldn't affect them who they are now. Our current identity should be separate from our past one so I want to believe that they wouldn't use the murder weapon again.

[glaciers]

You think so?

I feel like my past is catching up to me.

[optimistical]

In what way?

If you don't me asking.

[glaciers]

Physically mostly.

Past me doesn't have any acting skills so I'm dreading getting what he had in place of those.

[optimistical]

Isn't it possible that your past version was just an ordinary person without any notable skills? I don't mean this in a bad way, I mean, couldn't he have just been an average person so you wouldn't get any other skills?

I mean, I'm an artist in this life but I don't think my other self had any talents like that.

[glaciers]

No, I can light myself on fire and make ice. That's pretty notable.
