Video: Bianca's death - backdated to the 18th

[Though the broadcast comes from the princess's SFC, it's Guy's body and voice that shows up on the video. Zelda hasn't let the curse deter her from doing her usual patrols longer than a day, and now she's wishing she didn't wait even that long.]

Hello, Vatheon. I have some grave news. When I was on patrol, I discovered another body that was in the same condition as Jacob's - clean incisions, it appears to have been dumped here. I believe it might have been here for a couple of days now. In the chaos of the curse, we must have missed it...

[Behind her is the small, lifeless body of Bianca. She refuses to look at it or say who it is.]

If someone could come and inspect the crime scene, I would appreciate it. I have not moved anything. We must catch the monster who would do something like this.

It can't have been more than two days. I patrol regularly, but I admit to becoming distracted with my body being swapped.

[She shouldn't have. It's her job to look over this area, her and Zelos, but they were so caught up with the fact that they weren't in their own bodies that someone like Bianca...!]

Two days... I should've noticed something. Why didn't I--?!

[ And before he can stop himself, he screams angrily. Shing's fist flies right into the nearby wall with such force that, when he pulls away, there's both cracks and blood on the wall. He doesn't seem to even have noticed that his fist is bleeding. ]

I'm so sorry, Bianca...

You won't accomplish anything by blaming yourself. You are a friend of Bianca's? Where did you see her last?

... the masquerade. We'd shared a dance and talked about things before parting ways.

[ Excuse Shing as he turns away from the video; any longer of seeing Bianca's body and he's going to end up vomiting, not that he's already having flashes to his own death... ]

... I was supposed to protect her... what was the point of me getting stronger if I didn't even know she was in pain...!?

No one person can accomplish everything. She will be back soon; be there for her when she returns - and try to find the one that hurt her before then.

Even so, it doesn't change the fact I can't seem to protect anyone anymore...

[ A pause. ]

Tell me if you find them. I have to know who did this to Bianca...

[breaksthefontech]

There will certainly be a report if we find this person. For now - please try to stay close to at least one friend at all times, all right?

... understood. I'll tell you if I somehow find out anything, too.

[ ... dammit Vatheon. Since when did death become so mainstream here. :| ]
