It's not colorless either. It doesn't exist. "It's purple" is false. But so is "it isn't purple." That's the logical conundrum. It's an amusing philosophical question, not a lie.

The question is, was Ryukishi using it? I'd say no, not intentionally. If it comes up it's just accidental and tangential to what he was trying to do.

This murder was a "copycat" crime inspired by our tales of 1986.
This story is a redacted confession.
