Presuming the rhetoric that Tutuu is town, Ash’s earliest reads mostly seemed to be skirting the line of siding public opinion through a contemporary lens. This is what sparked his support against Leafia’s wagon (agreeing with Hippo and Catbae verbatim)); which makes sense, pretending individual flips aren’t his fault. Similarly, Ash only amended an additional scumread on Frost to supplement my own tidings, and was promptly disarmed when Frost firmly snapped back, hastily changing the subject. As I expressed, this is unpartnering; I’m reiterating this to establish a pattern of causality amidst Ash’s actions.
Childe, Lol, Marluna and Bystander were all named in a throwaway line together… that’s abstruse. Specifically Beancat wasn’t named despite her lack of early presence, though; personally it seems likelier to presume you’d forget to mention a town player than to deliberately omit their name in hopes they’d be forgotten about, to my perception, unless there were multiple evils here in which case it’s irreverent.
This explicitly contrasts Ash’s investigation towards Bystander just previously. This sort of question usually prompts another player to elucidate their own scumread, subtly reinforcing it, which I think splits Ash from Marluna.
More verbatim support.
Personally I think I’m spewed town but that’s just me.
D2 has nothing especially substantial aside from reaffirming Marluna as a split pairing, but the contrast with how he interacted with Bystander here is fascinating and worthy of scrutiny.
VOTE: Bystander.
@Beancat is this still applicable?
Personally I neglected to understand why Beancat was suspicious in any framework because of this message, beyond a vacuum it seemed tenable.
