> "It is someone that can print her newspapers, and trusts her enough to take her in and let her do so despite her being an escaped convict. It obviously wouldn't be Hatate, but it clearly isn't Momizi, and it couldn't be Nitori because she's been indisposed...who else fits that description? Maybe Rinnosuke?"
