Yeah, it don't make any sense if ya ask me. 'specially now that there's a pattern -- people're gonna expect it, ya know?

Ya think? Ain't Sage-chan said: [ He lowers his voice, imitating the Sage in his best, not-Kansai accent: ] "Should anyone fail to act by the end of the week, I'm afraid whatever vague threat I've made will come to pass."

I mean, it makes sense that they'd take a while ta decide ta go with it, but between gettin' over whatever guilt folks mighta got, it don't take that long ta plan a crappy murder.

[ "crappy" in this case, since the killers keep getting caught. ]
