[ after returning from investigating, kate took a bath and changed into some clean clothes, and can be found sitting at the table in their house. there's a bowl of berries she's snacking from, though for the most part, she seems restless, drumming her fingers on the table and stacking berries into little pyramids. they don't get very high.

but when she sees laudna, she raises her gaze to see her. ]


Oh, Laudna. Something strange happened last night... Where did you end up?

Really? That's a relief...

[ that they were together. ]

... I ended up in the forest. Anis, Alfyn, Daan, Geto, and Astarion were there. It was terrifying, but we made camp in the clearing... but then...

When I woke up in the morning, Marina was there.

We found her body in the clearing we'd just camped at...

She must have moved after we all fell asleep. Her killer, too. That part must have been the same as usual.

Another "chimera," you mean?

... That's true.

So there must be three culprits, for two deaths... I don't know if they'll allow us to investigate Camille's death.

[ since it fell outside of the pattern. ]

[ unless famine just says no. assigns this to famine specifically. ]

... I see...

But... it's so unfair.

... No... It's unfair to them, too.

That the victims' lives are stolen by the monsters, and then the culprits' lives are taken, too... None of them deserved it.

... I don't.

I hate seeing everyone turn on one another. I wanted to see if there could be any other way. With Camille, we finally had that chance... I thought.

[ ... ]

Yes... we probably should. I don't want to see everyone at each other's throats... but we can't let a monster go on a rampage, either.

[ however i, pazu, support aqua in all that she does ]
