... Yeah. I never spoke with Kaoruko, but I heard it was much the same with her. No explanation about the reason behind her actions.
Byleth suggested to me that it's likely something blackmailing them into silence. I didn't know Rupert well, but that seems true enough.

It would be like. . . I asked him outright and he would give vague answers. I tried to instead ask him what he thought about various theories floating around about motivations. To some he would say "that's interesting, I'm not sure." Whereas to others, he would say things such as. . . mm.
In response to me asking if he had killed for his own reasons, with no prompting from anyone else, he said "I'd like to think I'm not the type of person who would do that." And in response to me asking if he was being coerced somehow, he said "do you think that would work?"

Yes. I interpret that to mean he was saying no to the theory of some sort of coercion and blackmail - we went on to talk about how the biggest motivation for blackmail would be his partner, but that wasn't enough to get him to kill on Thursday. And no to the idea that he had done it on his own.
My suspicion is he didn't have the ability to answer for whatever reason, but was trying his best to be helpful under those limitations.

Meaning that he was potentially being more literally controlled, similar to the expulsions.
[ He sighs, closing his eyes for a second. ]
It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. We've seen how this place can alter minds. Not just compelling us to move one place or the other, but the field trips have demonstrated they can change our identities and memories.
... All of which really sucks.

Ah, well, if its any consolation it will probably be spring in two weeks.
[He laughs a little to himself.]
. . . I knew about the wyvern. I suppose Mollymauk took the blame, but the little theft problem you had was my doing, I'm afraid. Extra credit.
