[ fei du is on his way out - likely very close to nahri, but once she's been safely given to her teammates is when he finally runs into nahida and her mumbles. he's got the comb shenhe left him in his hands, and he makes a soft, bitter noise, almost a laugh.. ]
Because no one would look past the fact that Gyuhyuk was belligerent.
I said on more than one occasion, it's not unusual for him to refuse to cooperate with those checks. [she sighs.] I had hoped that if he cooperated, people might begin to look past that, but...
I didn't vote for his team, in any case. I voted for Justice. But I wonder how close the numbers were.
...As callous and cruel as it is, maybe a lesson will be learned. [ don't be fucking belligerent if you don't want to be suspected. ] But I imagine it was close.
I feel like - I'm not sure. I feel like we missed something.
If it isn't, then an even more pointless sacrifice will be made.
[ hateful. hateful!!! he has a bad feeling about how this one's gonna go but he won't say it. ]
Maybe. Or, someone was hiding it, when we did. I tried to comb over the Cemetery to make sure no one hid anything. I'm glad for it, since we found the Vision, but ultimately...
[ fei du trails off, and shakes his head. ] ...Ultimately, it didn't lead us anywhere.
[somehow, she thinks it would have been much worse if it hadn't been, and if it had just vanished along with all the rest of the evidence at the end of the case. she hopes desperately that shenhe making her intentions to pass it on to nahri clear will allow it to remain.]
I knew that this week was going to be more challenging, since there were two cases to solve in the same amount of time. I knew that going into it, and yet...
[...]
...I can't be satisfied with this outcome. Not at all.
[ he shifts just a little, only enough to be noticeable - fei du's hand slips into his pocket and curls tightly, like it's wrapping around something. ]
I can't, either. It's the sort of thing I'm supposed to be good at.
[following threads of logic is supposed to be her thing as the god of wisdom. but if she can't even follow the logic to identify her friend's killer... what is she good for, anyway?]
...If we'd just had basic DNA testing - or even basic forensic tools, we could have nabbed the culprit immediately. We could have fingerprinted the beer bottles.
[ maybe. ] And if we could get our hands on clear tape - even just a little - that would help, too. If we had a narrow enough suspect list, then we could test just a few people with scant supplies.
Maybe there's something we could pull off with our psychs. I wonder if utilizing photokinesis could create a blacklight.

Then we can experiment with anything we find and see if we can come up with something that works.
