The videos I had to watch about t-bar ski lifts while drawing this page. I could feel my life ebbing away. But boy, I came away “informed”.
I get the feeling Bee could use a re-watch of the 検出の原理 video.
Ah! Clair sees Bee! Game recognizes game, kinda.
I suspect Claire suspects that Beate may have had something to do with the threatening note Claire and Lottie found at their table. https://badmachinery.com/comic/a-lot-of-very-similar-haircuts/
She’s such an unpopular little bug…
This is the tragedy of Bad Typecasting!!!
This does rather look like Bad Charlotte’s super(ish) villain origin story.

Ah. Captain ruddy obvious, me.
Beate would not do well as an undercover agent. Coming on too strong.
That’s her strategy, because nobody would ever suspect her!
Sorry, Bee, but one of the most basic tenets of investigating and eavesdropping is Discretion.
Bea’s strength is not in people-facing field work, apparently.
On the other hand, she did impress them with her skiing prowess.
Well, her best friend is apparently imaginary, so that should tell you something…
No doubt after the X-teenth watching of the t-bar lifecycle, you felt as if you had Touched The Void.
I assume that T-bar ski lifts are not as interesting as paternosters.
A ski lift is kind of like a paternoster, if you think about it.
Paternoster, but tilted
So be careful of ski lifts when playing paternoster pinball. Got it.
I could never resist the urge to sit on the t-bar. Lift operators hated me.
My droogs, real men drop from helicopters onto vertical glacier faces.
Well, once anyway…
Bah, helicopters. Real men climb the glacier face.
I must admit that Claire’s little onesie is the gift that keeps on giving.
Bea is trying too hard, but that comment was still too harsh. Bad, bad nihilist! Can’t tell if Claire is just observing the three suspects or is judging very bad Bea’s really naïve approach.
There’s something a bit Point Break about these lads.
They’re Nihilists. More like Point Bleak.
That looks so like a place I ski in Norway! Which also has some cracking T-Bar lifts, as well as a variety of exciting button lifts up some vertical-looking tree-lined ice. When not actually skiing, it’s usually worth chilling out and watching people fall off them.
Touching the Void is the title of Joe Simpson’s book about the events that befell Simon Yates and him during their descent from Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. It’s a harrowing tale in many ways, particularly when it comes to Yates’ dilemma and his fateful decision that haunts him to this day.
So, I expect there is a crevasse in the near future for somebody.
Checkhov’s Void.
If only Beate’s backstory was at somewhere like a Medieval Times center instead
That would be about 50% less ebbed away life
