☀️ Arselia and Akonia

As a continuation of the procession, the carnelians are placed in separate individual cells.

Aiko tried her best to nod encouragingly and calmly to her friends when she met them. Everything is fine; they haven't committed any crimes. If Beata is dead, they will cooperate with the investigation (not entirely, actually) and the truth will be established. If Beata was caught examining something she shouldn't have, Aiko will try to take responsibility and minimize the problems. If something completely unexpected has happened, we will act according to the situation.
-- You're not very friendly, bright knight, -- she said sadly later, as Naosa opened the door to her cell, hinting that some questions remained unanswered. -- But I understand; these must be your instructions.
"I hope I don't have to spend the night here. And that no one has to 😟"
