[They just stare for a good while, before sighing.]

Does misery want company, Qingxuan?

[shiftingwinds]

...I'd like it. [she just so easily accepts that she's "misery" right now. sighs.] But you don't have to stick around if you'd rather not be miserable.

This is just so frustrating.

[commedia]

[They just shake their head, moving to sit next to SQX at the bar.]

It is. The truth, forever out of our grasp...last week, and now this week. And even now, we simply didn't have a clue, mm.

[shiftingwinds]

I feel like we came out of that knowing even less than when we started...

[she sighs. heavily.]

[commedia]

[Murders Britt right here before she can commit her crimes I MEAN]

There, there. We were all in the same spot. Our murderers decided to make it quite hard! I still have no clue as to how a whole body up and walked away!

[shiftingwinds]

[me, running to the mods and iki: sorry guys we have to retcon that execution]

I don't either. That's not... it shouldn't be possible.

[commedia]

[YEAH YOU HEARD ME]

[There's a bit of an odd look on their face, after a moment.]

You know...the only thing I can think of is...no. That probably isn't it.

[shiftingwinds]

...what are you thinking?

[commedia]

Gluttony's portals...I wonder if they were used, somehow.

[shiftingwinds]

The portals? To... hide the body somehow, you mean?

[commedia]

Yes, perhaps? That's my only guess at the moment to where it might have completely disappeared to...

[shiftingwinds]

That seems a little... [she frowns softly] If we're meant to be able to identify a killer, involving the portals like that seems almost like cheating.

...but if that is the case, it must have been someone close enough to Gluttony for them to have been willing to do that favor.

[commedia]

That is true. Ahhh, its just a theory. I have nothing else in mind, unless someone dissolved the young man. But even then...there would be traces. There was only blood in his room.

[shiftingwinds]

...it just doesn't make sense. Human beings don't disappear without a trace like that when they die.

[commedia]

They don't...even an onmyouji would have to use very powerful spells in order to eliminate something like that without a trace.

How terrible...I guess we may never understand, unless it happens again...

[shiftingwinds]

...hopefully it won't. But if it does, we can at least... know that we need to start by looking at other options this time.
