Konpeitō's stiff smiled loosened. His entire body loosened, in fact. On the outside, it may have seemed like he grew calmer, but in reality, he has legitimately blacked out from anger. That was the best thing his body could do. If he acted on emotion, he may have attempted to punch Basté square in the face.

He took a few shaky breaths before speaking. During one of those breaths, he glanced at the exit, wondering if he wanted to leave. No, he decided. This information was important. Making an enemy now wouldn't do him any good. He needed to keep control over himself.

"Going by the consensual theory, that would mean someone walked in, saw my doppelganger eating a person in the woods, then took things out of context and left to spread the rumor. It would explain why no one has reported a missing or dead person... Alternatively, my doppelganger was eating a corpse." Talking about eating a person was something Kon barely cared about anymore. He still had feelings about it, but as long as the person he spoke with was fine with it, he was fine with it.

"As for the other rumors, I think you may be misunderstanding. What do you mean by the rumors lacking in consistency? Several of the rumors seem somewhat in character for those involved. The biggest issue is figuring out how everyone is connected."

"Exactly. And the alternative possibility, of eating a corpse, is just as valid. And the whole deal of eating someone could also be because they need it, be their victim someone who agreed to or not, corpse or formerly living, rather than finding a victim and making a witness.", Basté took note of those possibilities as well, and when talked about lack of consistency she addressed that point almost immediately:

"While they are acting in-character, I can't see enough connections between those they impersonated yet. But not only that, there's also how the rumors are spreading and so far I see no one backing another's claims. And depending on how good the doppelganger is, the evidence will be decisive to prove not only your innocence but also others' too, or could make this rabbit hole go deeper and deeper."
, there was no way Basté would deny the possibility of evidences not turning in Kon and others' favor, so for now she could only hope.

Kon let out a half-laugh. "Yeah, well, my doppelganger is making things tough on me if he's going around asking people for their flesh and eating people in the woods. Use Bleedr, for fuck's sake. I don't even need to eat people, goddammit." It didn't matter if his doppelganger needed the flesh or not. The methods he was using was, in the end, causing trouble for the real Konpeitō.

"And funny thing about that... Several people have confirmed a couple of rumors as true. From off the top of my head, the one revolving around the plant kid spraying an insect person, the girl verbally assaulting people, and most notably, the vampire-demon girl who attacked people at the Citizens Against Evil protest. That one actually had video evidence."

Basté gave nods in agreement, whoever this doppelganger is could have used Bleedr to make such contacts. Hearing some rumors were confirmed only made her worry more. "A few of those I heard too, and the plant kid one was very easy to believe too, given what some insects can do to plants. The vampire-demon one I have not quite looked into, but the fact there was evidence did not help her case.", evidence is where it all hinges, and would be the difference between guilt and innocence.

"But, I suppose it is time for me to make my leave, need to resume my investigations on these rumors, and call my mother just in case, who knows if she can give me some ideas on how to proceed with the case.", as she got up she gave a good stretch, "How about you? Where are you going to?"

So Basté was only somewhat in the know about all of this. At least she alerted him to his new rumor. That made all of this worth it, somewhat.

"I don't know. To eat. To a brothel. Both. Something to do until I'm calm and I can go to my boyfriend. I'll continue looking into things later when I don't feel so awful." He didn't care anymore whether he was talking to a teenager or not. It wasn't like he was going into detail.

Though there was one thing he felt he needed to clear up. "Er, I'm friendly with the vampire-demon girl. Her name is Alma. I'm confident this is part of the rumors and that she didn't do it. Even the police decided there wasn't enough evidence despite the recordings and she was released. From what I've heard, she had to be arrested twice. The first time at the protest, the second time at her home because she somehow escaped nullification bracelets. It doesn't make sense."

"Understandable. Hopefully our next meeting will yield more relief from all this stress.", Basté was about to move to the door, but her steps came to a halt, hearing Kon was was friendly with one other rumor "victim". Alma's case... That was very odd for her. Arrested twice? Escaped Nullification Bracelets? Something doesn't add up. But Kon believes in her, so the tall girl should too, right? After all, her case was a mystery too.

"I'm inclined to believe... The one caught in the protest was the fake, and the real Alma was sleeping all along. But I must make sure to meet up with Alma and ask her version of things. Don't worry, I promise to be nice to her too! But for now, take care, Kon.", she spoke as she neared the door, but stopped short of opening to turn and bow to him respectfully, before she were to make her leave.
