Something About Aces Defence About Not Being The Killer Kinda Stinks - Notice The Similarities Between

Something about Ace’s defence about not being the killer kinda stinks - notice the similarities between these two lines?

Both times he says “commit a murder of my own”

- once during the trail to testify his innocence and that he WOULDNT commit a murder

- after Nicos attempt on his life, where he says he WOULD commit a murder.

It may be nothing, but it’s such oddly specific wording.

Ace baby I love you please stop looking suspicious.

I’m getting quite concerned he may be the killer, considering the trial is getting quite bloated in length, and that narratively, does Teroko need to learn to distrust her friends AGAIN? She just had the revelation with Rose about how important it is to believe in others, would it be make sense narratively for her to immediately unlearn this by the end of Chapter 2, with no real character progression? If Eden is the killer, that’s what would happen.

Worst, the key detail about him being briefly awoken during Nicos murder attempt means he could have knowledge of the mechanism and the sports tape. I still think it’s unrealistic Ace would grab the tape while bleeding all over the place - but then why would Eden grab it, did she plot this murder then and there? Unless you had a motive in mind, there would be no good reason to steal tape.

This all reeks and I’m scared for my boy Ace :/

The cutest 🦔🌼

we are reaching levels of tsundere that shouldn't even be possible

( spoilers under cut)

yeah uh.... heres my guy.... ha...

I'm sorry fellow ace fans for contributing to the angst!! I had to!!!

Ace fans, have hope, the episode is 50 minutes long so Teruko can reveal Eden as the culprit.

Just remembering that her expression doesn't mean anything, Shuichi didn't have a sad expression at the end of Kaede's closing argument.

Clues that point to Eden being the culprit:

The tape

The method being strangely similar to a clock

She was messing with Teruko's clothes, and then Charles found a ball of clothes during the investigation

In the same scene, she got nervous when talking about her conversation with Arei to Teruko

She told Teruko to wait right before they discovered the body

She was missing in episode 7 and only appeared at the end (when the body was discovered)

She doesn’t have an alibi for the time of the murder

If I forgot anything, feel free to let me know!

Might be looking into this to deeply, but I wonder if Ace not knowing sweating would cool you down relates in any way to his eating disorder? If I’m remember correctly, ppl suffering with anorexia are more prong to “night sweats” (extreme nighttime sweating - very warm!) so he might associated sweating with getting warmer / sick, not with cooling down.

Or he’s just a silly guy.
