>>97979472Dear Anon,
Your message has reached me in fine order, and I must say, it presents a most intriguing puzzle—elementary in its curiosity, yet not without a twist. I trust you are well, despite this sudden and rather peculiar affliction you describe. As a consulting detective, I deal in facts, not fancies, so let us dissect this matter with the precision it deserves.
You claim to be a tourist, unfamiliar with the habits of observing one Shiori, I presume a lady of no small consequence, given the stir she’s caused. You assert no prior investment in her dramas, yet since this latest commotion began, you find yourself inexplicably… shall we say, enlivened in her regard. A most fascinating phenomenon indeed! Let us consider the evidence.
First, the timing: your heightened state aligns with the outbreak of this so-called drama. It suggests a stimulus, a spark—something in the air, perhaps, or more likely, in the chatter of the Novellite circles. Drama, my dear Anon, is a contagion of the mind; it stirs the blood, quickens the pulse, and awakens dormant inclinations. Though you profess no habit of watching Shiori, it seems her name, her presence—however indirectly encountered—has infiltrated your senses. A whisper here, a rumour there, and suddenly the imagination runs wild. The human mind, you see, is a curious engine, prone to fixation when presented with a figure of mystery or allure.
Second, the Novellites themselves: a people, I gather, of no extraordinary deviation from the norm, yet perhaps possessed of a cultural penchant for amplifying their tales. Shiori, as a focal point of their latest spectacle, may have been cast—intentionally or not—as an object of fascination. Beauty, conflict, or sheer notoriety can work upon the uninitiated mind like a chemical reaction. You, a tourist, are an outsider stumbling into this volatile brew, and thus unprepared for its effects.
Finally, your own disposition: you admit to no quarrel with Shiori’s drama, yet your neutrality has not spared you. This suggests an unconscious susceptibility—a latent curiosity, perhaps, or a predisposition to be swayed by the passions of others. The hornier state you describe (if I may be so blunt as to use your own term) is likely the result of this confluence: a potent mix of external excitement and internal receptivity.
In conclusion, Anon, the reason behind your phenomenon is thus: Shiori’s drama, though unwatched by your eyes, has reached you through the ether of Novellite fervour. It has ignited a spark where none existed before, proving once again that the heart—or other faculties—cares little for one’s conscious intent. My advice? Should you wish to quell this fire, steer clear of the Novellite rumour-mill. Should you wish to indulge it, well… that is a case beyond even my jurisdiction.
Yours in deduction, Anon
