Take Responsibility.

[andexecutioner]

The door at the northwestern corner of the foyer is open. It's hard to say when it opened, but the fact of the matter is that it seems to have; it leads to a separate hallway that seems to run alongside the dormitories. The hall is long and dimly-lit, but it's illuminated well enough to make it plain that the walls and floor in here are different; they're far less designed to give off an impression of grandeur - if anything, it's claustrophobic back here: the walls are close and darkly-colored, and the entire area is barren until it opens up into the room serving as your destination. The room is circular and high-ceilinged, covered in more of the exposed wood that lines the rest of the building; there aren't any visible lights, however, which is...odd, given how bright the place is. It lends the entire area a sense of unreality; it's easy to distract yourself from it, however, once you notice this place's centerpiece. In the center of the room is a circle of podiums, thirty in total, arranged so that everyone standing at them can see each other. So everyone can look each other in the eyes, if they so choose. The podiums are interlocked - there's no cutting across the center of the circle, and for good reason, it looks like there's a lot of nothing down there where the floor should be - and each is bearing the title of the person who's assigned to stand at it. No names, just adjectives, emblazoned across two brass panels on the very top and the front of each podium. Affixed to the podium itself is a panel with buttons on it, and again, there are thirty in total; next to the buttons are smaller strips of engraved metal to serve as labels, bearing the titles of everyone that's been present in the facility, living or dead. All of the podiums are identical, except for the one intended for Sayaka. The podium that should bear Attentive's title has had a black cloth draped over it, and a copy of Sayaka's profile photo is sitting on top of it, framed and colorless, an image in greyscale. Juri is nowhere to be found in here, but that doesn't mean you're alone down here; the feeling that you're being watched is strong, and he'll wait until you've had time to take in what you're looking at before he addresses you - over the public-address system again, from the sound of it. "Attentive's dead, and somebody's to blame for it - but you guys get to decide whether Rule Seven's carried out or not. It's your job to hold them responsible for what they've done. Good luck in doing it."

[The mun had to google when it was invented to be sure but That is definitely something Luca does not know about.]

WD-40? What is that?

[fortunatedetective]

It's a type of multi-purpose oily substance. It's mostly used in maintenance and cleaning, but it could be possible there are other uses for it.

[Guess who just used Google]

[cilantro]

[... Actually, come to think of it:]

We might want to check everyone's hands: there's a risk of irritation to one's skin if you're not wearing gloves or being particularly careful when using it, if I recall correctly?

[fortunatedetective]

I...I can't say it with certainty, but I guess that could be a possibility.

[Naoto doesn't have anything wrong with her hands!]

[middaymoon]

[myfedorarocks]

[No irritations or injuries here.]

[oasisrose]

[Jean's hands are not irritated. In fact, the skin is quite soft to the touch.]

[poultryfists]

[Nothing interesting about Yang's hands!]

[hesperos]

[ Yuri raises his hands up with a slight smile. He wiggles his fingers a little too, because why not. Also, they are free of any injuries or irritation. ]

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...well, she usually wears gloves, so she's totally out of the running on this one, right?

Her hands are fine regardless! ]

[losthisflower]

[AZ wordlessly shows his hands.

They look pretty rough, calloused and scarred, but there's nothing new about either of those things.]

[passional]

[ Inigo takes off his gloves; his hands have no injuries or irritation. ]

[onedrinkwithme]

[He took off his gloves after the first day here so there's nothing to see.]

[meanttobe]

[No irritation or injuries, he's clean.]

[hentopan]

[ He sighs but whatever. He actually has black bandages on his hands as some sort of fashion statement apparently, but he's clean yup.]

[fivepints]

[...It...takes him a moment to unwind the fabric of his sleeves from his hands, and he's only willing to do it down to the wrist, but his hands are clean - no irritation or anything.]

[glaciates]

[Nothing weird here besides the tattoo on his left palm!]

[notaccurate]

[gorira]

[ Chitoge's are fine; no irritation whatsoever. ]

But otherwise no irritation.]

[mylanceisbiggerthanyours]

[Nephenee hoolds up her hands while they're in their vambraces, then without the armor. Other than callouses, nothin' here.]

[notaccurate]

Can it be used to clean up blood?

[fortunatedetective]

I can't say it for sure, but I'd say it could be used for that.

[No case so far had WD-40 used for such thing]
