Bystander was literally a potential top suspect coming into D2, the entire reason I went for Kiiruma instead of Bystander was because Kii switching from Bystander suddenly and latching onto me because of one simple message I sent about my hood made me suspicious as hell.
Giving me the excuse that Bystander thought she was in the clear after D1, doesn’t work, she was far from being out of Top PoE.
