[Whatever time Mal returns to the dorm is somewhere in that indistinct area in-between officially being either night or morning. The darkness just before true twilight that is usually associated with a silent and lonesome world, but out in the city streets the spirits are just as rowdy as ever, feasting and drinking and gambling. Hosting shady fight clubs.
Mallory's a little bloodied up himself, but it's nothing he'd consider too alarming. Only some of it's his anyway. The droplets on his shirt are little trophies of a match won, and the jingling in his pockets is the reward. He's sore and he's exhausted, but it's a good feeling, and he can't wait to dispose of the evidence before Luna gets back and pass right out in bed.
He's not two steps into the room before a stronger stench of blood hits him, and that good feeling vanishes immediately. There's a body.
Luna!?
No, that's not him. It's that stupid kid! Or... was? Did Luna have to kill him? Mal squats by Ethan's 'corpse', letting his eyes adjust more to the darkness of the room. He's snoring...?? Ah, right. Just like when he witnessed Eiji's shattered skull reform before his eyes, whatever damage killed Ethan must have healed some time ago.
At least that means it'll be a lot easier to solve the murder mystery. Time to rise and shine and answer for all of this. Mal tenderly SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE.]
