[Fin] Murder U Too - Endgame

[Florien]

Let me explain this as clearly as I possibly can. The murder happened before Kai entered the kitchen. The murder happened before I entered the kitchen. So, please, explain how Kai and I coordinated our actions so fucking brilliantly, as would be required for this plan to be pulled off, while barely associating with each other before it happened? It would be a simpler, cleaner, and more sensical explanation to say that the Cookie Monster didn't frame anyone and missed some evidence during cleanup. That would explain the lack of fuzz on the body, the clean nature of the room, and the very tiny amount of evidence IN the room itself. You need so many more epicycles to create a scenario where I and Kai work together to frame the cookie monster that it just doesn't make sense. So why, WHY, do you hold to this? What have you to gain by exploring more and more obscure and elaborate plans, when the first and second most likely plans, being "cookie monster screwed up" and "cookie monster framed itself" are the most likely by far, requiring the fewest assumptions? Zharzy, our group's wizard back home, he told me about something. It's called something else there, but I believe you call it "Occam's Razor". "A legendary weapon wielded with the mind alone", he called it. To say what it means, it means that the simplest explanations, that is, the ones which require the fewest and/or most likely assumptions, are the most likely to be true. For the assumption that Kai did it and I aided him, you would need the following to be true: A. that I'm willing to aid another person here for no tangible benefit to myself. B. That Kai is a master of cleaning up evidence. C. That at no point would I betray Kai to improve my own status among you. D. That somehow, Kai and I continued to coordinate our actions, piling more and more Cookie Monster framing evidence in various places throughout the night and day alike. And of course, E. That Kai left no signs of a coverup behind, despite this enormous amount of covering up that would need to be done.

Kellensea pauses, letting that sink in for a moment.

Here's the assumptions we'd need to make if the cookie monster did it. A. That the Cookie monster is either not great at cleaning up evidence, or deliberately framed itself to get you to question the evidence that it failed to clean up. That is the only assumption we have to make. So, do you now understand?
