I greatly dislike this next vote between the two spider claims. I don't think the votes were publicized, so I guess that who I vote for will ultimately be hung. Part of me feels like voting for Rika is the right play here. The "obvious" move is to vote for the enigma who is basically impossible to have a conversation with and thus difficult to trust their ability to help town win. Notwithstanding his choice of protecting Yasu both nights, I just don't feel like he's a wolf. Maybe he's a badger, but I just don't think he's a wolf. Rika is basically the Chi of this route, developing the big rapport with Haru M, but maybe unlike the last route, this person is an actual wolf and was manipulating Haru M from the start. I don't have any real evidence to suggest that she's a wolf, and she might very well be just a townie who is protecting Meiko. In the end, I feel like Tom has a higher chance of being the actual spider than Rika, and Rika has a higher chance of being a wolf than Tom. If the point is to lynch all wolves and keep the snake and spider alive as long as possible to keep those odds high, then voting for Rika seems to be the more logical play here.

When she threw herself off the cliff, there was no water splash but a crunching sound. I'm not sure what to make of that, and what's this now. I have been poisoned to death in the dining hall? If I interpreted the scene setup correctly, only the Oribes were involved in the meal prep process. I'm ruling out the possibility of Yasu. While I do have some suspicions toward Kaori's crow claim, I'm choosing to believe her for now, so that would leave Yoshi as the likely suspect. Yoshi as a wolf does make a lot of sense. If Kamo truly did suspect me as having a guardian power before my reveal, I'm thinking he might be the brains behind the group as a potential Kamo/Yoshi and likely one of Tom/Hisa wolf team. I still want to think of Chi as a prime wolf candidate, but it just doesn't seem likely based on investigations, past deaths, and role claims. Kamo could have encouraged Yoshi to convince Haru M to attack the wolves at night know that Yoshi wouldn't be subject to the corruption and thus Haru M and a guardian power would die as a free kill.

I actually have quite a few options on what to do next, such as and possibly limited to:
- Investigate Hisa, or Haru F I guess
- Vote for Hisa during the second day of the feast
- Do not reveal my role when Takumi forces his way in my house
- Do not reveal my role during the third day of the feast
- Claim the snake role, Takumi is town, and Kamo is wolf during the third day of the feast
- Vote for Tom during the third day of the feast

Some of these seem likely to result in bad ends, but bad ends give more, potentially necessary even, insight, so I started with not trusting Takumi. I, of course, was killed by the hoe he brought with him, but I learned nothing in the process. I then went and investigated Hisa, and it turns out she was a wolf. That uh, okay. She played it so horribly that she had to have been put up to the task and made into a sacrifice. I just don't see the long game here that Kamo and the other wolf had in mind. This also calls into question her death. If the wolves are permitted one death per night, and that was used on Haru F, then the only option known at this point is that she was killed by the corruption. The question is what rule could she have violated because the cleanse/shelter/dream doesn't apply to her in this case. I also realize at this point that the wolves should be dead tired from a lack of sleep if they have to do a lot of strategy and stuff at night, but I willing suspend my disbelief for this, for now anyway, even if the truth is that they do the night stuff in their sleep somehow.

I went back and decided to vote for Hisa over Tae, and after she lost the sudden death vote, she went nuts and tried to flee. When she was thrown off the cliff, I heard a crunch. So to recap the four actual hangings that we've had:
- Tae -> inhuman sound heard, presumed town a la crow-claiming Kaori
- Nos -> water splash heard, confirmed town
- Rika -> crunch heard, claimed but unconfirmed spider
- Hisa -> crunch heard, confirmed wolf

I have no reason to believe that they are being thrown/jumping off in different locations, so maybe I am looking too much into this, but Tae and Rika throw a wrench into being able to extrapolate good info from this. Haru M absentmindedly put someone's name down at time, which meant that he was going to die from the wolves.

I won't bother investigating Haru F yet, so my remaining options all have to day with the third day feast. I'm still weighing my options.
