[Jin Ling looks like he's going somewhere. He's got a mission, a goal kind of going somewhere. But he slows down a little when he spots Ash wherever, comes to a stop.
At first, he looks like he's going to keep going again, but then changes his mind.]
What are you doing?
[Who all is fucking sad around here?]

[ He's probably just sat outside Room 10, let's be honest. ]
Debating if I want to sleep in there, or just crash in the library for a bit.

Hn.
[He turns to keep going, but slows to a stop again after a few steps. Finally, he glances over his shoulder.]
All the idiots go the library, so they're just annoying while you're in there. You can go in Room 15 if you want. No one is using it.
[Nevermind the bed before.]

Hey, I like the library. You got a problem with books?
[ But, fair. Things keep ruining the library in their haste to murder someone so. Don't fall asleep in there and he'll be fine, got it. ]
Who's room was that?

Steal the books then. S'what I've been doing. I don't trust half the people here not to wreck the place beyond Monobun's fixing capabilities within the next week.
[ ... ]
Is this what we're all gonna do? Play musical rooms every time one of our roommates dies?

[Don't encourage him to STEAL, ASH. He will do it.]
Fine, don't then. [See if he ever does anything nice again.] It's not as if you had to stay in it. I was trying to get you out of the way! People can't walk down the hall when you have your legs stretched out.

[ ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ]
Will you chill out for once in your life, Jingles? I didn't say I wouldn't, I'm just wondering. At some point, if we don't stop this, these rooms will keep emptying out.

[His face looks scandalized.]
What did you say?! My name is Jin Ling! [This is the equivalent of rubbing a cat's fur backward.] Nnn...
[The sourness to his face only fades a little.]
How can we stop it when we don't even know we're doing it? It's... It's like the story of the Yiling Patriarch. It's just a bunch of stories used to try to scare everyone. Stories and monsters.

Jingle-Ling.
[ this is your fate, Jin Ling. ]
That's the thing about stories -- there's a grain of truth in there somewhere, that's what makes them so scary. If we don't know what's going on then it's on us to dig into it and figure it all out.

Stop that!
[He gives Ash a look not unlike a very ruffled princess.]
The servants won't tell us anything! Peach only asks a bunch of nosy questions. The one behind all of this is too cowardly to show their face! Trying to leave only leads you right back to this cursed place.

If you wanna lie down and wait for someone to kill you, then no one's stopping you. Or for you to kill someone else.
Yeah? And? I'm not crying about not wanting to talk to the helpers here, or that shit's difficult. Of course it's difficult, if it's easy you probably fucked up somewhere.
I won't be laughing if you blow up the whole mansion with us in it. [ CHRIST JINGLE?? ] Where'd you get explosives?
[ Sometimes your uncle is a diiicccccckkk who gets blacklisted from matchmakers, got it. ]
... They're just handing out explosives now? You'd think they wouldn't want this place to crash and burn, literally.

I don't care if I get something, I'm just amused they're handing a bunch of people who would happily fight their way out explosives.
[ Ooooh. What a tough boi. ]
Sounds like a murder attempt to me. Better go warn everyone we've got a killer on the loose.
