Yup! I have a lot of people who follow my accounts and everything, but I'm still getting started. It's gonna take a lot more work to keep promoting myself.
[but...yeah. they go quiet again as they start doing the detail work on douman's nails.]
My mom's the best. She's kind of like one of my best friends. We usually do everything together because it's been just the two of us for a long time. She's a teacher at an elementary school nearby, so she's home in the evenings and has weekends and holidays off, too. So that's nice.
[This sounds...a lot like the simple history of a human being, not some massive Avatar of an entire sin. Douman glances down at the detail work on the nails, thinking.]
Does she know you're in a place like this? Do you ever see her? I can't imagine the bonds between mother and child could be broken this easily.
[What else they found? CLOWNS ARE GOOD AT CLOWNERY, NOT MYSTERIES]
Mmmmmm. Something to think about. [They purse their lips thoughtfully.] The killer wasn't...manipulated in some way, were they? It just all makes me think of some kind of ritual.
That makes sense...but that's not what happened here at all. Not intentionally. Maybe someone just interpreted earning indulgence in their own way. It happened before we even knew it would happen.

And...your mother? Admittedly, it is strange for me to think of the Avatar of Lust having a mother, but. What is she like?

Do you miss her?

[But yes, much to think about, here.]
Say...I had a question on my mind that I'm still ruminating over. The skull that we found broken in that trial...do you know where that came from?
no subject
[this is a much nicer topic than asking about their mother, thank you douman.]
no subject
Well, I suppose we still don't know if that was something separate from the murder, or involved in it. Did it belong to one of you?
no subject
I think we all still have our heads...[it's. probably a joke?] But I think if you think about what else you found you'll have an answer.

No. No manipulation, possession or threatening was involved at all.
no subject
[Douman doesn't seem to like that answer, but...ah, well. One theory out the window.]
I see, I see. [But...] You say no threatening, but...were they asked to do it?

Well! I suppose it is what it is.

Is it an option you would consider for yourself?

[The sheen of their eyes is so bright, standing clear against the darkness.]
What do you think? Is that my indulgence? Since you know a lot about me, supposedly.
