Dear Sherlock And Mikotoba,

(squints at the masked disciple) who do i know this man

Ribbonroad.

This man, this thing, is a husk of myself. I am no longer the masked disciple, a name I despise as it implies I had anything to learn from either Vortex or van Zieks. I despise the both of them, and this unwilling servant of the two of them is not someone I want to associate with.

Sherlock, did you get your partner's letter? - 💜

My dear 💜,

I am very pleased to announce that yes, I have received my partner's letter. I can only assume he answered as quickly as possible, which delighted me more than I can state. The contents of this letter, I cannot share, but let it be known that my melancholic violin playing was unwarranted.

Suffice it to say, I shall be purchasing a boat ticket soon!

Signed, Sherlock Holmes

mr stronghart do you think madame tusspells effectively utilized girl power when she committed the crime of graverobbing

An utterly ridiculous question. Your inane drivel would be entertaining if it were not so infuriating. I am unsure where you got your facts from, but I am afraid you've gotten the facts all wrong.

She was not grave robbing. She was committing a crime, in collusion with the prison connected to that graveyard, but her crime was not grave robbing. It could more accurately be described as desecration of a grave, as she was not stealing anything more than an artistic impression.

It could also be easily considered trespassing, though that is complicated by the fact that the prison staff were well aware of what it was that she was doing. Her infuriating actions certainly complicated quite a bit of things.

Mael Stronghart.

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

Enoch:

Not long after your incarceration in late October, and due to some tragic events, The Professor case was reopened. Following the trial Lord Van Zieks has made the truth of those events known to the general public.

Has anyone told what that truth was? If so, how has made you feel?

Dearest anon,

I feel about that trial the same way I feel about that entire portion of my life: a time that must be moved on from. I feel grateful for the knowledge that I was not imagining what I saw that night, and of course enraged that the truth was kept quiet through the ending and ruining of lives, my own included. I did what I did to bring the truth out of hiding, and I am glad it lives in the open. I wish it could have been sooner, but I am happy that the public now knows.

Gratefully, Enoch Drebber

Dear Kazuma

Never gonna give you up

Dear anon,

I appreciate the sentiment, though I am confused as to what you could mean by such a thing. Give me up to what?

Updated my very long dgs story.

two questions for asougi kazuma-san: 1) would you still love naruhodou ryuunosuke if he were a worm and 2) would you still hate lord van zieks if he were a worm

To Ribbonroad-san,

It is good to hear from you again, friend. I have heard that you have asked such questions from several of my acquaintances, and thus have been trying to find my way into a coherent answer. I'm afraid I don't know if I will be able to provide an absolute reason why for these answers, but yes I would still love Naruhodou if he were a worm, and no I would not still hate Lord van Zieks if he were a worm.

I would love to elaborate, but I fear I simply cannot. I know deep in my heart of hearts that these answers are true. There is nothing more to it.

Respectfully yours, Asougi Kazuma.

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.

Signed, Asougi Kazuma

Susato, have you ever questioned your gender?

-⚙️ (yeah I'm new here! I like ur style of writing)

Dear ⚙️,

This is something that I debated on sharing with anyone. It took me a long time to be able to figure out how to word it to myself. Since that first day I dressed myself as Ryuutarou, I've felt drawn to his clothes. Er, my clothes, that is. The clothes that my father and I modified for that day.

I think of Ryuutarou as something different from Susato, as I have not been able to reconcile the two in my mind. I do not want them to be separate, I want to find some way to accept the feelings I have towards my situation in court, the way I was treated, how Haori interacted with me... it's not easy.

Looking back on some of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I noted that he on occasion would dress as a woman to disguise himself. Perhaps if I brought up my feelings on the matter to my father, then, a man who knows Sherlock so intimately, he may be able to help me sort through these emotions.

With love.... Ryuutarou.
