Wait A Second. Late Night Thoughts But Hear Me Out

wait a second. late night thoughts but hear me out

Although Arei was killed in the morning, her body wasn’t warm. This is because her body had been splashed with water and cooled off by the fans.

But Ace doesn’t know how sweat works. Therefore, he would have no reason to splash Arei with water, because he wouldn’t know that it would cool her down.

You could make the argument that the water got onto Arei by accident when the jugs broke, but then only half her body would be wet, and her hair in the BDA looks like it was wet then dried.

(Ace Markey believers rejoice… more evidence that he is not the culprit!)

As an aside, WHY in the Lord’s good name did Nico try to murder Ace via drop hanging??? It is quite frankly such a stupid idea. Strangle him!! Cut his throat!! Anything but these insane antics with ceiling fans and brooms!!!

Nico, Ace I love you both yet you are both somehow so so god damn stupid it hurts

ace doodles

( spoilers under cut)

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

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

why dis look

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.

Considering the Dev said chapter 2 will be quite long, and it been abouuutttt 1 and a half hours of new content so far, I’d so we’ve got time for a NEW culprit and for Ace to be innocent! : D

Luckily, we can ignore the following as him just being silly;

- Easedropping Arei and David conversation, which makes him look terribly suspicious if we believe someone other than Eden wrote the note to lure Arei out (and would therefore need to have listened in to Arturo, Eden and Arei convo)

- Also to add, Ace only reveals he overheard this conversation LATE into the trial, just to annoy David. Ace is set as someone who withholds evidence.

- following, some unknown person was apparently following Eden. Ace has been set up as quite sneaky, as per the above

- Aces stole Levi sports band just so Levi couldn’t use it. This makes him stealing the tape used in his attempted murder seem more plausible- he originally could have done it out of complete spite, as an impulsive “hey look thing on the ground, mine know screw Nico”. This helps get around how bloody odd it is that either Eden or Ace would, in the few seconds able, chose to steal a role of tape.

- As one of the four people involved with Nico attempt on… his own life… Ace could have been aware of the contraption used against it, and attempted to replicate it to frame Nico. To recap, the only people who COULD understand Nico murder method are: Nico, Ace, Eden, and Terko, as they are the only people who witnessed or were involved in Nico attempt on Ace’s life.

- Ace put himself forward for guard duty, which would have given him the opportunity to mess with evidence

- He is the last confirmed person, other than David, to see Arei alive

- He has the opportunity to steal the fish at any point, but particularly he could have done it immediately after Arei and David conversation - he was in the right place after all!

Wow what a lot of red herring guys! Amazing stuff
