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

[zelda_hylia]

[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.

Good evening, both of you.

[Zelda steps aside so as to let them survey the scene.]

[Asato slightly bows at Zelda and moves to crouch near the body. Such a young girl...

He shows the Tarot card to Tatsumi.]

There was one with the other body too. Only the design was diferent...

[He looks at the card.]

Indeed. We need information on tarot card meanings... That could give us a clue. [Knowing the card's design is different already gives him the clue that it's not only the killer's trademark, but it possibly has a hidden message.]

Tarot cards are from the planet Earth, are they not? Used to predict the future and what have you. If the symbolism of these cards is that significant to our murderer, we may be looking for an Earthling.

That is true, Zelda-san. I suppose that we could find someone knowing about them.

[Asato stands, carefully holding the card with an handkerchief and leans towards Tatsumi, whispering.]

Tarot cards... Doesn't it remind you someone ?

[He nods.] I must admit I'm not very familiar with tarot card meanings. But there might be someone around Vatheon who could know.

[He looks at Asato, knowing what he might be suggesting. He whispers back, hoping Zelda won't hear.] I thought about him too... But I don't know if we should mention it to Zelda. She rather respects him, even if I tried to warm her before.
