Synopsis
The Champions' second Friday in the mall begins much like any other day, with many of the Champions making their way to the food court. When Varric decides to start his day with some Starbucks coffee, however, he makes an unpleasant discovery: Yuuri's corpse.
Things quickly become chaotic: Jane tries in vain to revive her, while Ardyn calms a panicking Fukawa and Arianna freezes up, leaving Yurika to take charge and direct the others to investigate:
- In Starbucks, Nari and Junpei find that Yuuri is surrounded by broken glass and died from multiple cuts to the neck and chest, while Arianna and Jane find a used candle in a broken glass display case and note that the scene smells of rosemary, and Pyrrha finds blood and more broken glass in the bathroom sink.
- In the Bounce House, Natsuhi finds the picture of Rii and Ruu and Yuuri's dead letter.
- In Nebula, Church and Yurika find a knife in the trash can, wrapped in a bloody cloth.
- And in Fourt's, Clarith and Fukawa find out where the knife came from, as one is missing from the kitchen.
After investigating, Arianna holds Yuuri's hand and cries, comforted by Jane, before the two join the others and Xander in the food court. Xander isn't very popular with the Champions now, more than one of them accusing him of bearing responsibility for what happened, until one such accusation leads to Clarith storming off after a heated argument with Varric. And that's no good, because as Fukawa notes, they're going to have to work together to get through what comes next...
