"Hah. I'll be here all night." Ventus says smugly, drawing the gaze of a few cops who, misunderstanding his meaning, give Ven a nod. Open mic night at Marble, here we come.
The key is examined with a growing seriousness. Ventus continues to hang back, closing the image of the key to examine the bloodstain, Eraqus' postition for any other clues but the key sticks out like a sore thumb.
I don't know what a warded lock is but Eraqus' house doesn't use keys like that. He's got a digital keycard or a code. ABIS uses those too, its why I don't need keys with you around.
Thank you for buzzing him into work, or into his apartment, or hacking the door to his car when he lost the keys. Thank you so much. You are his key..his partner... all sorts of mushy stuff he'll never say or Vanitas will overcome his protocols and unlock shock therapy again.
Meeting someone else... And if his phone was off since he took his trip? Then he had to have made that plan in person with someone after he arrived. Otherwise why would he cancel last minute? Eraqus would never be THAT rude, surely.
I want to charge his phone and check the contacts, but lets talk more about the cause of death. Doesn't something about the body seem strange to you, Vani?
