☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Interesting... Perhaps we need information from Mr. Merrell, but... Based on my own experience in Ornament, it seems that simply questioning the locals might not yield anything; they are too accustomed to unusual individuals and therefore don't pay attention. A more straightforward approach might be more effective. Is the Phantom's owner a lover of dark arts? Good. Or maybe bad, depending on how you look at it? We need to find out if he has an alibi for the time the murder occurred. It's unlikely that the local population is accustomed to spending the night away from home, right? But his doll-like saleswoman is unlikely to tell you anything... And overall, the chances that we've found the right person are still very slim.
-- I don't know anything about these... -- Ayko meant "Apostles of Akonia" and spoke very quietly. -- But shouldn't anger be characterized by impulsiveness? We're lucky to have Mr. Raphael on this case; he'll be able to see such hidden character traits.
