Lhuna approached Nogrod and tapped him gently on the shoulder.

"You seem to be quite in demand toDay," she said, when the old man looked around at her. "You asked me how I would have voted yesterDay had I been around nigh sundown. Simple: I would have voted whom I suspected, regardless of numbers. I build a case against someone I find suspicious after considering everyone, and when at the end of it I remain convinced that he is suspicious, I vote for him. Just like I've done the past couple of Days.

"What kind of vote would I not find suspicious? One that is backed up by previous words. Though on recalling yesterDay's events, I notice that at first you seemed to feel more uncertain of Izzy than xyzzy, and after the latter posted you expressed a greater suspicion of him. My mistake, then.

But you tell me that yesterDay I suspected you for not voting for someone who was about to be lynched. That's not true. I cared not that you did not vote for Shasta; what I was wondering about was that you changed your vote to tgwbs when Shasta's death was made certain. You spent that first Day convincing us to lynch the silents, and voted for xyzzy to show perhaps how serious you were, but when no one would listen, you changed your vote. True, you had expressed some doubt regarding tgwbs earlier that Day, but if you really were suspicious of him, I had kind of expected you to convince yourself, and us, that he was worth lynching, instead of going the xyzzy route. I might be being presumptuous in this, seeing that we've only been at this for a few Days, but then it's probably not so bad compared to how much you claim to know me."

She turned around and sought Rikae, and said, "I'm afraid I will not have the chance to hear what makes you feel that my words are deceptive, as a sleepiness that is out of this world, it seems, claims me again."

She bent low to the ground, and wrote with her finger:

++NOGROD

"There must be an end to all your deceit."

And she walked back to her bed of straw and lay down, and was fast asleep.
