*another Letter Was Left In Strongharts Cell Along With A Small Carved Unicorn*

I have a question for Knife Juror. You're my favourite Juror, but how do you get away with possessing a knife in court? And what is your profession? Trace.

Trace,

I'll have you know that I'm an absolute professional. The knife is just a sign of the work I do, eh? I'm a barber by trade, Aiden is my name, and they said they couldn't find anyone else, so they let me. If they had a problem with me knife, then they should've had a problem with that girl's weird smoke gun.

And... thank you. For the favorite thing. I appreciate that.

Signed, Aiden Richmond (knife juror)

Mr. Sholmes, Dr. Iris, what were your first ever encounters with Lord Stronghart like? What did you make of that man back then?

((yes I've sent this exact question to another askblog once. I'd like to hear your take <3))

Hello, anon!

Papa and I had very different first encounters with Lord Stronghart. When I first met him, he was old, and considered himself to be infallible. He carried himself with a gravitas of importance, and acted as though I were the least important person in the world. I know that's false! I am, in fact, rather delightful. He pretended I was a waste of time.

As for Papa, he told me all about it. Stronghart, rather than just ignoring people, was actively scornful and malicious back then. He regarded anyone who was quite obviously intelligent, or possibly even more intelligent than he, with active distaste. Scoffing at his every statement, not even looking at him...

Either way, he was very annoying!

Love, Dr. Iris

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.

Hello genshin,

What do you like about dogs?

Best,

Greetings,

I would have to say that I am not typically a dog person. However, there are some very noble qualities about them that I can truly respect. They are noble, charming, handsome... They are extremely loyal to those that they love.

I cannot help but adore them for their enthusiasm for everything they do. They love fully and unashamedly. They will immediately let you know whether they are happy or upset. They cannot help but wag their tails when they are pleased, or tuck them between their legs when they have done something wrong. They feel everything fully. They express everything fully. It is so easy not only to understand them but also to grow attached to them.

I do truly love some dogs, though I have only met a few in my life.

Thank you, Genshin Asougi

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

For herlock, what are your intentions for my friend and your self proclaimed “partner”?

-genshin

Dearest Genshin,

My intentions for my partner all depend upon what his intentions for me may be. I assure you it is nothing improper, and--

EGADS!

Detective Asougi?! You have been dead for many years! Am I conversing with a ghost? How could this be possible?

Do not scare me like that, Detective! I know I frustrated you in life, but you do not have to frighten me so!

That being said, I have sent him a letter expressing my feelings towards him and asking him to come to England. Perhaps, if he cannot, I may visit him in Japan. I miss him dearly.

Frightened, Herlock Sholmes

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.

Signed, Kazuma Asougi

My dear cousin Henry,

I have solved your little puzzle and I must say, I fear for you. Truly, I do. I do not know what fate awaits you, but I can only plead for you to find some way to avert it. Holmesies and I will find some way to discover the truth about your circumstances if the need be, but I hope it does not have to come to that.

With great concern, Iris

van zieks if you were on a sinking ship with ryuunosuke naruhodou and a pile of wine bottles which would you push off first

To Ribbonroad:

I have often been told of the dangers of water. I would never allow myself into such a situation, but for the sake of your answer, I would push the wine bottles off of the boat first. I have far too much of it already, and I am not a fan of the taste. Bitter and raw, fragrant and malignant.

I have never finished a bottle, and I have no plans to change this.

Lord Barok van Zieks
