I Have A Question For Knife Juror. You're My Favourite Juror, But How Do You Get Away With Possessing

Dear Kazuma

You will never get it if you don’t ask Barok van zieks

Dear anon,

Assuming that this is in relation to the mysterious note I was given the other day, I asked Barok. He assumed it was about adoption as well, something that seems rather ridiculous, as I cannot be given up in that way anymore. I already have been adopted into a family and even so, I am at the age where I am now considered my own family of one.

Ryunosuke, what happened with your little aquarium??? Are the little critters alright?? -💖

💖,

...I forgot the aquarium.... I know it would have been impossible to bring with me, and there was so much on my mind I simply... forgot.

Though, that being said, it really was Susato and Iris who tended to the aquarium. They named the... how did you call them? Critters? Within. They cleaned the tank and found plants to put inside of it.

Actually, I feel as though the aquarium is going to be perfectly fine. Perhaps it will thrive now that Iris is responsible for it...

Best, Ryuunosuke Naruhodou

Heather:To our dear fathers me and my brother hope you’re well. I’m here to ask you something. Originally it’s was me and Henry but he was afraid to ask this question. So here is my question Did you guys ever had a big argument like it was so big that it almost ended up you to going to yours merry ways and never seeing each other again.

(Henry appear out of nowhere) Henry: Or if you guys our uncomfortable with this question and possibly mad at us for asking such a personal question! So you don’t have to answer it.

Heather:Henry what are you doing?

Henry: oh I’m just telling our dads that if they feel uncomfortable that they shouldn’t answer the question.

Heather: ok but why did you threw the line “Possibly mad at us for asking such a personal question”

Henry:Hey you don’t know if they would be mad or not about this.

Heather:(sighs)

Dearest Heather and Henry,

You have no need to be so afraid to ask such a question. If ever there is a question that he, or I, or anyone does not want to answer, we would simply choose to not answer it. We are under no obligation to do so. That being said, such a question can be answered in a very simple and non-invasive way, and thus we (or, I suppose, I) will do so.

There is a short answer and a long answer to this. I will answer first in the shorter way. In terms of interpersonal relationships, I do believe it's impossible to never get in any arguments. The difference is in if these are disagreements, arguments, or full-on fights. I do try not to let it escalate to that final stage, as that makes it far more difficult to reconcile. The most important thing is ensuring that you have an honest communication with the people around you.

That being said, Albert and I haven't been in this new stage of our relationship long enough to have too many arguments in the vein of splitting apart like that. The closest we've gotten to such a thing would be when I told Albert to leave London as soon as the trial was over.

I feel quite ashamed for my actions towards him, especially at that time. I had gotten to the point where I no longer cared if I hurt him emotionally, nor how badly I would hurt him, so long as he survived the experience. And, while that may be something one can forgive oneself for, I am truly ashamed of my actions.

I did not care if he left forever. I did not care if he would never recover. When he sent me letters from Germany, both in the years leading up to his London trip and the months following, I never once responded until after I had managed to recover from the final trial.

I learned a lot of difficult things about my family. I had to rethink quite a bit about my life and my actions. I found what I had done to be unforgivable, and yet he forgave me anyways. He is an incredible man, better than I could ever be. No one deserves a love like him.

And so, I will always try my hardest to ensure he feels listened to, understood, cared for. It is the absolute least I can do to help him. Any argument can be overcome so long as the person is worth it. And for him... anything is worth it.

Kazuma, are you lonely, having been left behind? - 🌹

🌹,

Thank you for putting it such a kind way. That truly made me feel wonderful. Yes, my family left me behind. So did my closest friend.

That being said, Iris is now the greatest thing in my life. Her endless optimism and excitement is infectious, and it is clear that she already cares for me as much as she liked Naruhodou and Susato. It's been quite a long time since I've felt so unburdened when in a conversation.

In terms of her heritage... I am conflicted about it. Mr. Holmes and I have had many conversations discussing my father, and van Zieks' brother, and I can understand that the situation was quite grey...

In another life, she could have been my sister. Perhaps one day I may even consider her to be this. So... around Iris, and even Mr. Holmes and Gina... I do not consider myself to be as lonely as I had once expected.

Dear sister,

Who is the man living in our house? The tall one with the white hair. Why is he here? Did you allow him into the home… on purpose?

-Barok

[modverse]

Dear Barok,

I have grown rather fond of the strange man living in your house. He is so very fun to watch! He sits upon any surface open to him, crawling inside of cabinets, bathtubs, closets, fireplaces... He reminds me of a feral cat in a very charming way.

As for who let him in, it was actually you! Benjamin asked you if he could have a friend visit, and that person just so happened to be Enoch. It seems you may be stuck with him, as he appears to be rather happy there.

Best of luck!! Rosie

dearest mr holmes (or do you prefer mr sholmes?), i recently heard the most melancholy of... violin sounds (i am not certain it could be called a tune) emmitting from your home. i hope you are much recovered now! i cannot help but wonder what had you in such a state? with much love & concern,🌾

Dearest 🌾,

To answer your first question, I prefer Holmes, though I will certainly answer to both. I, in fact, will answer to just about anything. I am always listening, even when you think I am not.

As for your second question...

I assure you, normally I am quite an excellent violinist. You pinned down the issue exactly when you deduced it was caused by a great deal of sadness. I was exceptionally melancholy, having sent off a letter to my partner with no idea when I may receive a response. I was lonely.

Iris comforted me. Kazuma confided in me that he has experienced similar issues, though he was sending letters to Naruhodou, Susato, and my partner alike. I suppose the two of us will remain together in our misery until we get some sort of exciting postage.

Sherlock Holmes...

Hi Enoch! What can you tell us about your hand?

Ace-chaser,

You mean this old thing? I created it myself many, many years ago. It is a fully functional prosthetic, the first and only of its kind.

I created it piece by piece, I have to wind it frequently, and it must be oiled, which is a problem, as I am... currently away from my place of residence. It must be removed every night, and for that reason I tend to sleep with it under my body. I am afraid that someone will steal it from me, as it is something that seems very expensive.

I will not deny that it was expensive. It took years to create. But it is something that aids me in my movement. Without a second hand, it is much harder to tinker. It is my most prized possession. I could not be more proud of having created it.

Thank you for asking.

Enoch Drebber

Mod Post: Queue!

As of now, we have ten posts in the queue! It's very exciting, both the amount of asks and the amount of followers we've gotten. Keep the questions coming!

Also, not to ~ spoil ~ one of the upcoming answers, but I do need to give credit to this post somewhere, and I feel like this is the best opportunity.

Iris,

Do you ever feel judged for your parentage?

Dear anon,

Your question tugs at my heartstrings. If you had asked me this a year ago, two years ago, I would have said yes, most certainly. I felt judged for not knowing who my parents are, despite the fact that many people around me are the same way. There are a large number of orphans on the street, children abandoned on church doorsteps, and other such things. I am but one of many.

But now, in this year, I have no such qualms. I know who my Papa is, and it's Holmesies. Whoever my other parents may be, they do not matter nearly as much as the father who took me in, who raised me, who loves me so. I love him too. Perhaps one day I may learn who birthed me, but for the time being, I have the greatest Papa in the world!

Love, Iris

yeahhhh Ben it might be a good decision to talk to Enoch or someone about it

Dear anon,

I fear you may be right. The moment I received this, I made up my mind to go and visit Enoch, not only to discuss his treatment of me, but also simply to... reconnect. Believe it or not, the two of us were friends, in the amount of time that we knew each other.

He and I never talked much about our personal lives, though, and discussing my feelings and life experiences with a man who hurt me so feels... odd. I know he had his reasons, but, even still... Perhaps when I share my thoughts with him, I can share how he made me feel, what he made me go through. It seems as though it could be cathartic.

Thank you! Benjamin Dobinbough
