Saori gripped the arm rest of her chair until her knuckles were white when she hear Ib accuse Mary--no James Kidd. No, ripping at a child who's seen too much wasn't something she'd lower herself doing. It wouldn't help anyone. She just wished she was here to explain herself to them instead of going off on her own. They would've understand like she does.

She shook her head. "Kidd's only been listed l as a witness for now. In order to obtain the Assassin job, you need both Thief and Ninja equipped. While there is one skill Ninjas has elemental properties, it's too weak to do what it did to the victims. To my knowledge, he doesn't posses a job that has ice magic so that would eliminate him as a suspect for the first one. He was probably trying to examine the murders himself so it's possible it would've looked like he did the murders out of context."

"Going back to motives of these murders, maybe discrediting the Heroes isn't the only reason. What if this is meant to intimidate us? I mean, we are getting closer to that date we cross paths with Palitutu. If she can disable our jobs, who knows what other things she's developed just for us."
