While everyone argues, Nwnjo decides to take a quick look around the room in search of anything suspicious.

"Eva-san, it's not like that," Nanjo offers nervously. "Kinzo... he and I played chess just this morning..."
"F-father; the head is still alive-" Natsuhi says, her voice shaking and tears streaming down her cheeks. "N-no one with a heart could have done this..."
"It's clear that someone wants us to believe that Kinzo is alive." Kyrie begins. She seems slightly shaken by something, but as always, remains cool-headed. "The question here is what they gain from it. Even if it throws us off looking for him for the time being while we're on this island, as soon as a reasonable police investigation takes place, the truth is sure to be revealed. What could the culprit gain from this, if they'll only be exposed in the end?"

Some cups of tea and a few remnants of a dessert linger on plates on the table. A few are at odd angles and placements that wouldn't really make sense for five people eating.
Besides that, Nanjo really doesn't see anything too out of the ordinary in the room.

"Maybe they don't plan for any of us to leave here. What I don't understand is who did it. We wouldn't murder our own children..." Eva looks around the room again. "And it looks like we're short one piece of furniture. Where is Shannon?"

Everyone looks around at this, and Kanon opens his mouth to say something. Before he can, Gohda's eyes light up.
"O-Oh! She must still be in the kitchen! She was washing the dishes when I got Kanon to come help me serve you in the parlor." he says.

Eva takes one last look at the dining table. And the bodies of the children around it.

The bodies laying around the room are still limp like ragdolls. There's no sign of any sort of life from them.
The table has some dishes from desert and tea on it; they've all been eaten from with the exception of the dish at the head of the table; that one which should have been poisoned. Eva can note that some of the plates that have been eaten from have been oddly moved and pushed in places that someone eating at the table wouldn't put their dishes. Other than that, it doesn't seem like there's anything to be gained here.

"Tch, fine. Let's find Shannon, I need to figure out what went wrong with our plan in the first place."

"Very well," Genji says passively. He shuts the door of the room after everyone leaves, and the group heads downstairs.
Sure enough, Shannon is exactly where Gohda said she would be. She's putting the last plate onto a drying rack as the first of the group makes it to the kitchen, and it is painfully clear that she has no clue to the terrible crime that has just happened. When she glances at the opening door, at first she only see's Kanon, and says, "Oh, did you bring me the rest of the dish-" then she sees everyone, including Eva right behind him. "-es? Is- Is something going on?"
"N-nee-san..." Kanon starts, but he looses his voice right after.
It's this, more than anything that puts Shannon on edge.

"The children are dead. All of them. Kumasawa claims it was Father, but until we can get into the study, I don't believe that he's even alive, let alone responsible!"

"What?" Shannon gasps, and brings her hands up to her mouth in shock. She shakes her head. "N-no, it can't be."

"We all saw them with our own eyes! Nanjo confirmed everything!" Eva fights back the urge to burst back into tears. "E-even my George is...."

Rudolf through clenched teeth asks almost to calmly "Do you know where all the knives are?"

Willard snaps his fingers, time freezes around him. Kumasawa seems stunned almost as a tall young man enters the room casually. " Ma'am I have a serious of serious questions to ask you." " Firstly I need you to recount for me what it is you just witnessed in that room? Were you entirely sure that the master of the house actual slit his grandchildrens throats? Or was it someone else? what weapon did he brandish and was it left at the scene of the crime?"

Poor Shannon looks terrified and nods behind her hands.
"They all got brought here.." She squeaks, "I've already dried them." She indicates the drawers and Gohda's knife block.

* Kyrie is muttering to herself as she is entering the kitchen.
"but why would Kenzo... or not why... Kenzo's "why" might be a ball of twine under the ocean. If not why then.... how? How needs tools, and the tool... If Kenzo was to set us moving, what would he use, the thing that moved us, the first thing was...
"... Where is Kumasawa now? I would like to check the servant's quarters as soon as possible."

..."Shannon, when was it you last saw father?" He questions before the servants have a chance to pollute what she may say.

The children fell over and then the Master used a knife.." The Woman wrings her hands and then shakes her head. "N-no, that's wrong. I- I didn't see it, but the Master had a knife so they had to have done it, right?" "The master told me to leave, so I did.. And I went to get help. But we weren't fast enough..." With that, the world turns back to color and no one noticed anything had happened.

"I'm right here, Lady Kyrie." Kumasawa says.
"We shouldn't split up. It could be dangerous." Krauss warns. He turns his attention to Shannon.
"I saw Master Kinzo this morning, Lord Rudolf." Shannon says quietly. "When Genji and I brought him his Breakfast."

* Kyrie eyes Kumasawa, it seemed simple logic... yet...
"What orders has Kenzo given the servants these last few days? Anything at all, especially outside the regular routine could be helpful."
