[ rubs his temples. gu yun looks so scathing, for a minute there.

Only Shi Qingxuan and Mineo. I felt I owed it to them, after they were both incredibly defensive of my honor when I did, in fact, lie.
... The biggest wrinkle, of course, is that Childe knows. I went to spar with him on Friday, and I told him that I used his knife. We'd worked together on various things up to this point, and the only reason I knew about the knife was because he offered it to me to use if I ever needed it the week before. I also wanted to make it clear that I knew that he'd lied to me about using his power on me - a sort of mutually assured destruction. I assumed he'd held it for other reasons and didn't ask questions, which was foolish of me.
Even if I hadn't said anything, though, I knew he would've figured it out right away, so I cut it off at the pass. The curvature of his blade is unique enough that he would've known the moment Mahito's body was recovered.
Who would've thought that he would've chosen to murder someone the same week that I had to defend myself against his idiot friend. [ deadpan. he hates every part of this situation! i assure you. ]
.. Ah. I also didn't know anything about Gojou. I knew that Mahito wanted to leave 'someone a message' - and I wasn't aware of his power to transfer injuries, either, so when he showed up at trial like that, it was a surprise to me. I assume he likely could have killed Gojou with it, or easily identified me, but Mahito chose not to, for some completely inexplicable reason.
