Random thought here, and this includes a degree of preflipping Ekko as one of two Mafia groups, so please excuse that (I have no idea when I'll die) but I think this could be distancing by Ekko here. Ekko *loves* bussing his scum mates, especially those with a weaker thread presence because he doesn't have to do much against them. I happen to be pretty good, historically, when it comes to reading Emi. You would have to ask her, but I might even go so far as to suggest she might say I am the most capable to read her correctly in this game. I make this point because there is really nothing from what she has posted so far to say she's Town or Scum. It is not indicative of any alignment, she could be anything. Yet Ekko sees fit to mention his read on her twice, and with a degree of certainty that I do not think is earned.
Seeing as you'll have a notification for this post Emi, if you happen to be Cult and not Ekko's hypothetical scum buddy, I'll give you until Day 3 to Cult me. Chances are I'm already dead by that point, but if I happen to be alive by some instance of divine providence, and you just so happen to be Cult, this is fair warning. By Day 3 I've probably made up my mind.
