uhh looks like

bella - 1
i find it a bit rich that i'm gonna make this vote w/o explaining my reazonz! but that's my theme this game i guess lol
VOTE: katsuki </3 i'm sry bae
I hate this post for two reasons:
1. it reads like she felt like she had to bend over backwards inventing a reason to explain her Katsuki vote. this would make more sense coming from a POV of being self-conscious about avoiding the scum counterwagon. I would expect the town alternative to be just voting Katsuki and not bothering to justify it at all/beyond "I find Katsuki scummier".
2. if she even had reasons for scum reading Katsuki here, she did basically nothing at all up to this point to even talk about them. if you look through her ISO the only thing she ever says about Katsuki amounts to "you're scum because TSQ was scum and you haven't done anything to convince me you were town", i.e. that it carried over from TSQ's play - which would have been 100% fine. the thing is, the last sentence directly implies she had more than that and just didn't talk about it for whatever reason, despite being relatively active in the game.

?????????? you're complaining that i'd rather lynch my stronger scumreads than a slot that's done nothing but fluff around and make excuses for not catching up all game, aristo legitimately could be town who just didn't realise he wouldn't have enough time to play this game at this time
that said, i'll hammer in like 10hrs if there won't be any other lynch today
she also did this despite the fact Aris hadn't done jack shit in between these two posts, he just popped in and said "I'll have something more in a day or two" (which was something she specifically called him out for in her catchup preceding 626). "looks likely scum" to "could just be town who is behind with the game" is not a natural progression. the potential scum motivation for doing this is fairly obvious, and if Katsuki was really a "stronger scum read", she should have done ... literally anything ... to actually talk about it, which she didn't.
this said, I'd rather flip someone else since after how D1 played out, if I happen to be wrong on this read I could easily enough see scum painting lala red as the next "target" after Aris, but I want to lynch lala. as for other reads, I'm looking at the posts surrounding how the lala/Aris/Katsuki wagons happened and outside of this it's really fucking difficult to tell anything in general because of how inactive the game is, so I haven't found anything else that was notable about it yet.
