[ they can catch him in the gazebo near the church, all the fight from trial having bled out of him. now there's just a simmering anger at the surface of his emotions, but more than that - overwhelming sadness and grief. ]

Hey, Saber.

[ he sounds as miserable as he feels! yay! ]

[ a soft, bitter laugh. ]

An answer for who killed Zhongli? But the only person with that is the one who did it.

I just wish we could stop this already.

... mm.

[ it seems more likely the only way they'll find out is if they kill again. ]

At least we know who it wasn't.

[ there's a pang of remorse. ]

If we had a little more of a lead on Zhongli's killer, maybe we could try. But I don't think we know enough, still.
