Oh--um, yes. [He lifts a hand, wiping at his eyes with his thumb.] It was...
[idk if he can show her the photo actually BUT he will if he can; but just in case:]
She--fought here, I think. I don't know. There was fire everywhere. [THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE THE FLAMETHROWER IN MY HEART BUT NOOOOOO] And then... some items, in a half-circle. Some branches, that sign she liked. Things like that. It was strange.
[It kind of reminded him of that creepy ritual from Wednesday WHY WERE THE ITEMS IN A HALF-CIRCLE]
nahida's ears droop when she hears that. it's never easy to find evidence about any sort of murder, and she's not sure whether it would have been better or worse for kaveh not to have any idea that shenhe was gone up until the announcement, but - it does feel cruel that he found evidence tied to her murder.]
It's hard for these things to make sense in the moment.
[the shock of finding it, and the way people's minds run away with them trying to figure out what it could mean - it makes it hard to figure anything out until some time has passed.
in a way, it's almost kind of them to give them a night before they have to get started solving the case; it allows the dust to settle so that they can accept what happened and focus on finding the facts, rather than being caught in the cycle of "This can't be!" and "Why...?" for the first half of the trial. in another, though, it's almost its own form of torture to have to live with it, wondering what they'll find the next day.]
But he just... nods, because she's right. Logically, there's no way he's in a state to put things together. He knows that, and yet--for a scholar, for a so-called genius, it grates.]
it is grating. to not know what happened, to not know why it happened - and, tomorrow, once this is all done, it will be all the more grating to know that they went through all of that and still didn't manage to make sense of it all.
for now, this is what they have.]
...let's go back to the warehouse, Kaveh.
[they need to be prepared for tomorrow. that means resting.]

It's alright. I'm the one who went to look. [WE HAD EIGHT LOCATIONS] But I wish it told me anything.
