“Well, Bylet,” Uncle Billy continued, turning to the young woman. “It look like you’re only one left. Except Morris but he not count. You’d best explain now, or we may have to VOTE for you.”
“I still feel like we no closer to finding witches though, even with this info...”

Robin looked at her shoes. Her cheeks were tinged red. "Asher, I- I'm the reason you couldn't fake your death last night. I... was worried you might be a witch. I'm glad I was wrong."
"Ah, alright," Asher responded, nodding in understanding. "I kind of figured it might have been you. Glad to have confirmation."
"Also... you said you had a theory as to who... who 'killed' Father in the book. ... Do you feel comfortable with sharing that information?"

"Um." Robin's eyes darted to the side very briefly before snapping back to Asher. "Since he revealed his role anyway... I delayed Mickey on the first night last time, and Basil was 'dead' the next night, so..." She trailed off as her gaze drifted to the doctor. "You also said you visited him that first night. Was it you, Mickey?"

Briggs popped in from out of nowhere.
"Hey, there, Asher. Forgot to tell ya something. You remember I stole James' talent, right? Well, uh...you might wanna knock on Mickey's door tonight. Get that poison out of your system. Cause uh, yeah. You're poisoned."
He gave Asher a really detailed pat near one of his pockets, feigning as comfort, before dashing off again. What did he steal???
"See ya, kid. Good luck."

"Oh... Oh God." Robin turned pale. "Briggs!" she called out. "How do we stop the poison!?"
She didn't expect him to answer, though. She immediately began fretting over Asher instead.
"We could -- try purging it. Or - or maybe water will help? Try to dilute it?" She was getting frantic. "Mickey! Can you save him? M-maybe if we examine James's room, we can figure out what kind of poison it is!"

He sighed. "Anyway, this is a complicated issue. Briggs over here seemed to have good reason for poisoning Asher. And honestly I think he could be a witch anyway. But yea I can save Ash. It won't be pretty, he might have diarrhea for a while but he'll live. But I can't be a hypocrite here. Not after I criticized my old man for almost being judge and executioner.
"I'll save him the next twilight if that's what people want from me. We'll put it to a vote. But I guess that only matters if he lives through this lynching phase." He snickered devilishly.
"I'm not gonna follow that 'majority' shit either. If more of you say I should let Ash die than those who don't, there you go. If it's a tie then I'll decide myself. I So let's get everyone's thoughts. And remember--we got a lynch to decide too."

"Please save Asher." She gave Mickey a desperate look. "I don't understand why this needs a vote. I don't believe that Asher is a witch. And even if he is, let's give him an honest chance like we did with Vincent. We can't just - let him die because it's convenient. Right?"

Asher tightly gripped his cane and squeezed his eyes shut. He took in a deep breath, then let slowly exhaled and opened his eyes back up.
"In any case... I'm not sure who we should lynch. No one seems like a good option at the moment..."

Lucine thought about it. She considered it. She reconsidered it. Then she sighed. "But Mrs. Teacher has a point, I suppose. This will also serve as evidence that you are what you claim. I will vote to save Asher."

He didn't laugh while saying any of this, explaining it seriously and a little too intensely.

"Oh! And on another matter, while we have some time, um . . . " Zachary began, flipping back through the book. He stopped at a page that had a very peculiar name on it: "Forsythia Schumate," he read the name aloud, wondering if he pronounced it right, "The letter mentioned Forsythia, and one of the books we were looking at earlier - I've already forgotten which, sorry, - was written by a 'Fennel Schumate.' That seems like quite the coincidence, if you ask me."
Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Asher turned to Zachary and nodded.

He then addressed Violet. "I'm sorry, but, I find that very hard to believe given the circumstances. Making a claim like that only looks suspicious, as Maurice said."

"If you have an idea of how I can prove it, I'd be glad to. But that is the truth -- I don't have one." Violet responds.
She then turns over to Billy. It's clear she's not amused, at the very least.

"We also don't know how Asher was "resurrected", yes?" Maurice added. "One of us must have the capability to bring back the dead temporarily... Most likely a witch of course, but it's still in the unknown. So that only makes your claim more suspicious", he said to Violet. "Is it really safe to keep you with us when you're such an enigma to us at the moment?"
"Violet was dead before any of that happened in the story, though," Bertram pointed out. "These other roles are suspicious but I don't believe Violet is any of them at least."

"We have a role where somebody can investigate powers. We have another where someone can steal powers. We have another where someone can copy powers. But I do not think they are lies, I think they are repugnant, are they not?" It seems 'Mickey' meant to say 'redundant', so he kind of missed nailing his point there.
"We have other roles that could be fake. And roles that could be true, but useful for witches. I am unsure of our path forward--whether it's to find more meaning in these roles and our next victim from there or to find another road."

She looked at Bertram and Billy. "I thought Violet might have done something to Basil that had a delayed effect, but she would have told us so - because that would be proof that she's not a witch."

"Briggs, I find something very odd about your actions," Zach began, making the understatement of the century, "Besides your deplorable career of going around to rich families - who may or may not deserve the wealth - and stealing whatever you can from them, I've noticed some behaviors that point to you as being very likely to be a Witch of the Golden Land!"
"James, Basil, and Bertram survived in the story and it indicated that the Mortals had 'won.' Based on rules I'm not sure why I'm aware of, this effectively confirms them as mortals.
"James has also been confirmed to be the poisoner. The story, his claims, and his actions all lead credence to this.
"So why, then, would any self-respecting (or self-deprecating, even) mortal steal a very helpful power from a confirmed mortal? Eh? I posit it's because Briggs is a witch! Or just an agent of chaos - perhaps at least aligned with the witches - but in these times, they're effectively the same.
"I'm voting for Briggs," Zach crossed his arms, attempting to take the most confident stance he could manage. "Oh, by the way, in light of this, I'm a bit more sure that Asher is mortal now."

Then Zach dropped his epic theory.
"Huh, this make sense too. Though first we should see what Bricks have say."

"I don't entirely agree with that logic: Briggs said he swapped talents with James in order to prevent him from poisoning too many people, and that seems a reasonable reason to me. Still, I'm happy for another opportunity for Briggs to explain himself further," Bertram said.
