"During A1, I was in the cafeteria... Steve, Simon and Letitia were there. I had a nice chat with Simon about life.
"On A2, I talked to Steve about his mother. That was fun. Letitia was there. Simon left at this time, and the fluffy ball that is Alice entered~
"From A3 to A6, I stayed in the game room. Simon entered A5, and he stayed with me 'till the end of the night!"
Santa smiles.
"I checked out the male bathroom, but only found some vomit around a toilet. Then I went for the working area... There was nothing new. Other than the long-ass list of stolen stuff you people stole the previous nights, a box cutter was missing."
He then turns to Letitia, "Now, if you *really* went into my office... where is the Grinch...?" Santa looks around, wide eyed, "D-Don't tell me the Grinch is one of you! That's what that message meant! "Mole -> u" means that one of you is the Grinch!!!"
Santa dramatically points to Letitia "The fact you 'happened' to see my office's door open proves you are it! Only the Grinch could possibly access it!!"

Simon finally finishes crying... somewhat. He’s just quietly tearful now. He readjusts his glasses from where they’ve started to slip off his face and sadly looks in Letitia’s direction. “...I’m sorry, Letitia, I truly am. I didn’t mean to... t-to make you upset...” He has to stop himself from continuing his sentence in order to keep what little composure he has left.
“William, I remember having moved Charlie’s body to the workshop some time ago, which is why she’s not in the infirmary... but my memory is rather hazy. As for the writing in blood... I’m not sure what the message means, either. And- and I must wonder: why did Steve tell Letitia that he was going to the workshop for the fifth action, and yet he ended up in Merk’s room? And the third corpse possibly being Santa... agh, my head hurts, nothing makes sense anymore...”
After placing his hand to his right temple, he keeps talking. “I... investigated the two bodies along with Kijah. Everything he says is true... Steve’s body is on top of Merk’s. Merk’s throat was slashed, and it took an action for him to bleed out. I didn’t find any other wounds on him, but I did find a box cutter by his side, next to his hand. Steve was stabbed at an angle right through the heart, which instantly killed him. All I found in his pockets was his room key. A-and... everything is soaked in blood.
I spent the first action in the cafeteria with Letitia, Santa, and Steve talking to Santa, like Letitia said. I hoped to make him feel better... Letitia asked me to join her in the workshop for the fourth action. I didn’t know why she wanted me to at the time, but I agreed. After that, I went and took a shower for the second action, though I’m not sure why Letitia said I left during the third action, hoping to get some of this blood off of my clothes. I really should have washed off a few days ago, because the blood just wouldn’t come off... I went to get some coffee in the kitchen after that, and saw William and Steve in there, but I spaced out before I could drink any... I’m more than a bit prone to doing that. And then I went to meet Letitia in the working area during the fourth action and saw Santa’s office door was open and...”
He takes a moment to wipe some of the tears off of his face. Noticeably, his still-bloodstained labcoat is at a bit of an awkward angle now, and you can spot an also bloodstained green sweater underneath. “Letitia... I’ll admit it. I’m not a very perceptive guy. I honestly didn’t hear you when you asked me to stay. I saw the open door and I... I went to go find Santa. I thought he should know, too, and I didn’t realize you wanted me to- to go in with you... I eventually tracked him down in the game room. I ended up staying there for the rest of the night with Santa, because he needed me to be there. Because w-we’re... all friends...”
Aaaaand he’s sobbing again, one hand on his bruised jaw and one over his eyes as though to unsuccessfully block the tears, which ends up pressing his glasses at an awkward angle. The elf with a cheerfully concerning demeanor that you remember from the very beginning of this whole mess has been replaced by a broken kid who’s spent this whole killing game slowly losing his mind. Well, he was off-kilter from the beginning, but this sure hasn’t been therapeutic. He begins to mumble “I’m sorry” over and over again as he cries.

The chain lock is actually very long. So long, in fact, it was more than enough to tie it around the victims' neck. Because of this, while the door was broken down, the chain strangled both victims to death. In other words, all an accident! - 0 votes

As of the time of this update, there are exactly 4 days and some hours left for the trial to end.

Simon’s eyes widen for a moment as Kijah says this. He lowers the hand that was over his eyes, though not the one on his jaw. His glasses nearly fall off his face. This time, he doesn’t try to catch them.
After a while, he speaks back up. “William, didn’t Kijah claim to have left the kitchen during the third action, not the fourth?”

“Yes, I left at the start of A4 to meet with Letitia.”

It doesnt matter. What matters is who killed Steve.
And now that Santa has a corroborated alibi for the Act Steve died in rules him out.
All that is thusly left is that William did it.
He claims the crime must have taken place during A1/2 yet that only damns him further as the only one here not witnessed during either.
