"But when you think of Origami, you think of trackers, **, **, and things like that, right? Doesn't that make it easy to guess?"
"That actually makes a surprising amount of sense..."
They had somehow come to associate Origami with those things. It might have been a little unfair to her, but the facts were hard to deny.
"As for when she planted the tracker, I'd bet she did it while we were taking pictures."
Lingmeng spoke with a hand on her chin.
After all, that had been her best chance to slip it on unnoticed.
