*The rest of the gang assembles quickly outside of his room.*
Kitzie: Eek!
Ana: Kitzie... don't look.
Li: *Examines Allen's body.* Don't need a post mortem to figure this one out. Cause of death: multiple stab wounds. *Looks on the ground.* And that would be our murder weapon...
*Close to the bed is a small, triangular silver dagger stained with blood. On the dagger is a crest that is also found on Lierlo's chain. This same dagger was once seen stabbed into Lierlo's chest.*
Adrienne: *Lets out a small whimper.*
Lierlo: That's...
Laurenza: You didn't…
Adrienne: It's my dagger...
Li: So you admit it?
Adrienne: No, I don't! That's my weapon but I didn't kill Allen! I didn't even go near his room last night! I decided not to kill him after all!
Kuja: Are you saying that you were going to kill him, but didn't go through with it?
Adrienne: Yeah, the night before last I went to stab him... but he woke up and I didn't do it. But I didn't come back last night to finish the job!
Laurenza: Did anyone see anybody moving around last night?
Tifanel: I was outside all night working on Allen's ship. I didn't see anyone else up.
Li: You know me: I sleep like a log. Didn't see anything.
Ana: I was asleep.
Kitzie: Me too.
Kuja: Me three.
Lierlo: I wasn't around last night. Sorry...
Laurenza: We're going to have to get to the bottom of this.
Li: Fingerprints on the dagger?
Tifanel: That'll be the best thing to do, I think.

*Later, the gang are all in the main chamber having their fingerprints taken. Kitzie is making black paw prints all over the floor.*
Laurenza: Li, do you honestly think Kitzie would have done a thing like kill Allen?
Kuja: *Lowers his voice slightly.* She's a Demon. She's killed before remember?
Ana: There's no point in taking mine. I didn't do it.
Tifanel: Well, we have to be sure. *Grabs her hand and puts it on the ink pad and collects her prints.* That's everyone. Except Thorn, but he's been snoozin' since before it happened, and Lierlo, 'cos... Well, y'know.
Li: All we have to do now is dust the weapon and see if any of the prints match.
Lierlo: Um... guys. If there is a set of prints that don't match any of those collected, they will be mine. That's because I touched the dagger to remove it from my chest when Adrienne stabbed me.
Li: Good. Oh, not that she stabbed you, but that's good that you told us.
*They all wait nervously for the results of the fingerprinting.*
Li: *Comes into the chamber with some sheets of paper.* I've got the results. *All the gang wait silently for him to read them.* There's only two sets of prints on them. One is the mystery set that we'll class as Lierlo's. The other is Adrienne's. Just those two, I'm afraid.
*They all look at Adrienne.*
Adrienne: But I was telling the truth! I didn't do it...
Li: The evidence seems to say otherwise.
Adrienne: So you'd rather believe some stupid inkblots than my own words?
Li: Well, yeah.
Adrienne: No! *Runs away from them.*
Laurenza: *Sighs.* If she denies it so forcefully, maybe she is telling the truth.
Tifanel: Maybe she is, but then again, the only prints on the dagger are hers and Lierlo's.
Ana: But they might not be Lierlo's. They might be a different person's! They might even be Allen's! This might not be murder. This may be suicide!
Laurenza: Crazy enough as that sounds, that is a possibility.
Li: How about I check Allen's fingerprints then? Will that make everyone happy?
Laurenza: Please, Li.
*A little later, Li has the new results.*
Li: Negative. They don't match. I'm still thinkin' they're Lierlo's.
Ana: Let's dig up Lierlo's body!
All: NO!
Lierlo: Ana...
Laurenza: I'm sorry everyone, but all the evidence, how little we have of it, points to Adrienne.

*Nothing is really discovered over the course of the day. Adrienne stayed in her room and refused entry to anyone. That night, Kuja is wandering the corridors.*
Voice: Guilty conscience getting to you, Kuja?
Kuja: You? I thought Thorn got rid of you.
Voice: Please, your little spells and songs will do well to keep me away.
Kuja: And what do you mean, 'guilty conscience?'
Voice: You know very well what I mean. And you let poor Adrienne take the blame. How low… how vile. But how clever of you. You used her weapon, but you didn't leave your mark on it. That would give you away. Instead you chose to use Magick to control the dagger. Adrienne would take the bullet. Allen would be out of your way. No one would ever know the truth. The perfect crime.
Kuja: No...
Voice: Oh, no use in denying it, Kuja. Denial gets you nowhere. You should just accept it, and be proud. I'm proud of you.
Kuja: Who are you?
Voice: A friend.
Kuja: You're no friend of mine!
Voice: Only because I am the only one who knows your dark little secret. What an advantage I now hold on you.
Kuja: Shut up!
Voice: What shall I do? Shall I tell them now and watch you take your punishment? Or toy with you a little more, hold my peace and watch you suffer...?
Kuja: You're a sick, sick guy.
Voice: That's rich coming from you, Allen killer.
Kuja: Show yourself! Stop hiding in the shadows!
Voice: You have too much on your mind right now. You wouldn't like me to show myself right now.
Kuja: Go on then. Tell them. But are they going to believe you, just a creepy voice in the air?
Voice: Oh, I'm sure they will believe me.
*The voice becomes visible, showing who they really are. Kuja stares, wide-eyed in disbelief. It's Lierlo.*
Kuja: But... how?
Lierlo: Everyone! Wake up!
*The gang all get out of bed to see what the shouting is about.*
Laurenza: Lierlo, what is it?
Tifanel: *Rubs eyes.* This better be good. Some of us need our beauty sleep.
Lierlo: *A small, wry smile creeps across his face.* You may be a little shocked at this information but I know the truth about who killed Allen...
Li: Why didn't you tell us before?
Lierlo: Well, to tell the truth, I was in... heheh… two minds about telling you. But now I feel... justice must be served. Kuja did it. I saw him with my own eyes. He stole the dagger from Adrienne. He bewitched it to move on its own and killed poor, poor Allen with it.
Kuja: ...
Li: Is this true?
Kuja: Yes! It's true! I killed him, and I don't care what you think of me because I hated that guy more than anything. But before you say anything... I don't think this is the real Lierlo! You know that evil voice thing? It's him!
Lierlo: What... what do you mean?
Li: Stop tryin' to shift the focus from you, Kuja. You're in big trouble. Accept it.
Laurenza: *Comes down on him like a ton of bricks.* I... can't believe you, Kuja! Not only do you cruelly murder Allen, you pin the blame on poor Adrienne! And then you tell some cock-and-bull story about Lierlo! I have never been so angry with you in my entire life!
Kuja: But...
Laurenza: I don't want to hear it! Not this time! No excuses, no apologies! Just GET OUT! Go on! GET OUT OF MY CASTLE!
*The others look shocked.*
Laurenza: *She looks to the others.* Go back to bed, I don't want you to see this.
*No one budges an inch.*
Laurenza: GO!
*They all go back to their rooms.*
Laurenza: *Chases Kuja out of the castle. She then appears at his bedroom window and throws all of his belongings out. She shouts down at him.* Don't you ever come back! *She slams the window shut and goes to her room.*
Kuja: *His eyes fill with tears as he starts to gather his belongings, strewn about the castle grounds.*
Lierlo: *Appears next to him and waves.* Bye bye.
