We'll need to make sure to follow up on all checks and examine our evidence more thoroughly, however. And there may be more tools and forms of evidence we can rely on.
Aye. Knowing what we are likely to find on the morrow... Sorrow grows greatly in mine own heart, as well.
Yet right now, there is naught that can be done. I thought to distract myself by compiling my notes for the week; should there be something you wish to discuss, Mr. Kitsuragi, I would full welcome it.
... I was able to learn a bit more about this place, since the town hall earlier this week. I was looking into a shady-sounding group called the 'Magisterium.' Have you heard of them?
Correct. I'd heard the name in passing while probing for information early in the week, and after hearing Monika give some context to that, I went with Mr. Kaburagi to... [There's a pause here? Hm.] to get more information out of the locals.
Anyway, this... Magisterium. They're believed to be a group of people obsessed with angels. "Higher beings." And it's said that they were experimenting with dangerous projects. Things that would be considered heresy. We were advised to be careful who we talk to about the Magisterium's experiments.
No. It seems to be a touchy subject, and it was hard to keep anyone on it for long. For the most part, the people here refuse to discuss it at all with outsiders.
A shame. Would that one of us could pretend to be of their kind, if such a thing can be done. I would much like to know more of them—and the angels they so revere. They cannot be exclusive to this world, correct?
And they saw right through you. Terribly unfortunate. The locals may be a dead end, but I will be certain to keep an ear out for the name elsewhere; I would rather like to pursue this information as well, if you mind not another hand in it.

Week 3, Friday
He sees Alphinaud nearby, and greets him with a nod. He's calm as always, but his expression is a little grim.]
no subject
Greetings, Mr. Kitsuragi. [ Because "good day" would be a little... yeah. ] Been faring well?
[ They both know the answer to that, but it doesn't hurt to be polite. ]
no subject
As well as can be expected. The last 24 hours have been...
[A sigh. He probably doesn't need to describe it.]
And you?
no subject
[ He sets his pen down into the crease of the notebook in his lap. ]
But I can try to take it easy, until the morrow.
no subject
It's going to take all of our efforts to ensure that we don't repeat our mistakes from last week.

no subject
Yes... yes, you are right. Forgive me, I should not worry so much. I will be certain to come prepared, that much is certain.
no subject
[He takes a drag of his cigarette, gazing out down the road, and sighs.]
... I'd hoped there would be time to discuss investigations today with everyone gathered, but the mood at the meeting was a bit...
[Grim. And Kim can't blame anyone else for that -- he was part of it.]

Monika made mention of them, correct? Aside from what was said during our meeting, I have heard of nothing since.

Yes... imagine if.

Well, that answers that, it seems.

It was an "undercover operation." We pretended to be locals.

[But he'll give his blessing to that suggestion.] So long as you keep that warning in mind, do what you like with the information.
no subject
[ Alphinaud jots something down quickly in his notebook, then: ]
While we are on the topic of angels, however—might I mention a thought that occurred to me while taking my notes?
