You did what you had to. He splintered, right?

He... what?

[ her voice cracks. ]

... I think so, anyway.

It seemed like it... He couldn't remember any of us—he seemed like he was having a hard time remembering who he was.

[ so that was bad. ]

He used his power—that's why everything was so busted up. It kept on going, even when I had to leave and he was asleep... I think that's why the destruction was so bad, and why I wanted to look over the space again. But I have no idea who stabbed him.

You...

There wasn't someone with you?

Mm, there was me, Zuko, Blanca, Mob, Yona, and Soo-Won.

[ full house. ]

But you don't know who killed Mob.

[ she shakes her head. ]

My first thought was that maybe it was an accident, caused by his own power, but... It feels more likely that someone had to take him out because he was splintering.

Then that was good of them.

[ she sighs. ]

...Yeah.

[ she doesn't sound happy about it, though. ]

We can try to figure out what happened tomorrow.

Right.

... You okay?

...Yeah. It's just this stupid curse.

[ or is it? haha ]

I'll get better at hiding it. We still have ourselves to worry about, right?

It's not exactly suspicious to be miserable with all the shit that just happened. I don't think people will notice.

Fair enough! Guess we're all pretty miserable every week. [ she could almost laugh. ] But I don't think they'll find the knife, so that's a relief, at least.

... Yes. It is what Shigeo would have preferred in the end, as well.

[Looking exhausted being here, but Chiron is present]

... Yeah? Good.

Mm.

[He feels a little heartless just moving on to business but... well. Business. They need to decide what happens tomorrow]

Where did you leave Miss Elsa's body? Is it possible the group will not find her easily?

... She's in one of the vacant rooms. I don't think it'll take that long to find her.

... Do you wish for me to examine her? Perhaps it will buy time should she be found.

[There are four bodies and Chiron knows he'll be called to touch at least one of them, so.]

... as much as I want to know who did this, it’s always more complicated when it’s a splintering kill.

[ she sighs, and rubs a hand over her eyes. ]

... I think that it would be better for all of us if you didn't pursue who did it.

...

Yeah. I... don’t know if everyone else will feel the same, but it everyone who was in the blacksmiths last night can confirm he was acting strange they may choose to leave things and focus on one of the other deaths.

I'm not just saying this because he splintered. It's that too, but...

[ ... ]

I don't think we should look into whoever did it.

...

[ hm ]

Clem, do you know something...?

I don't know.

[ ........... in retrospect, this is a really bad go-to answer ]
