[ owain is very much serious right now, not putting up any sort of act or anything of that nature. now's really not the time for this ]

For starters, from the investigation, how much have you seen of what was found?

... Just that the Barghest broke into our room. But I'd heard the announcements and talked to Akira.

... One of my swords was found in the pool.

... And you don't know why?

I don't, but I can venture a guess.

[ taking a deep breath ]

I believe they're trying to frame me.

[she pauses and... places a hand to her mouth, thinking.]

There is the third monster we don't know yet. You're worried they're trying to frame you... do you know why?

[ thinking... for a moment as well ]

It was my Levin Sword that was in the pool, the one that shoots lightning. It would be plausible that me having that is a reason, since no one else has a weapon quite as unique as that.

... So it's a matter of convenience.

[she frowns.]

And you didn't hide your sword.

Perhaps not my most brilliant move.

Owain, do you have any proof you weren't involved...?

Last night, I stayed with Gerome. Asides from that...

... Owain, Munehisa-san was staying with us, and he was still killed.

I know, I know. [ he sighs ] This doesn't look good for me, does it?

Look...

[she places a hand on his arm]

I'll do what I can. But you need to have something stronger. I believe you're innocent.

Thanks, Makoto.

[ thinking about this ] I looked at the levin sword while Tsumugi held it. I haven't looked at the bodies, but it appears as though someone physically used the sword on a person. The sword itself is meant to be used for magic attacks only.

So it was used incorrectly?

[owain that was exactly what she was asking for]

Based on only seeing the sword, yes. They very well may have used the magic of the sword as part of their attack, but the also used the sword to physically stab their target, as I saw damage typical to swords having to go through bone.

The levin sword is different from a normal sword, as it draws power from the magic inherit within the user to attack, rather than your own physical strength. Any person trained in swords may be able to use it, but if they don't have much magic within them, the sword won't be as powerful.

If you were able to see the bodies, would you be able to tell how powerful the attack was?

--Perhaps, yes. I never trained much with magic, but I still saw it used enough times that I can tell the difference between a Thunder and a Thoron tome.

Owain, we may need to ask if there's still time for you to look at the scene. It's going to be the only way to clear your name.

--Let's do that.

Come on. There may still be time.

[ nods and makes his way towards where the bodies are PRESUMABLY??? being held idk my bff jill ]

[ And ok, once they're there, Owain is quick to look over the remains. It's not's that hard to tell which of the bodies were killed by the Levin Sword. Owain proceeds to ignore the remains of Iwai and Inaba, instead focusing on Shirou.

He's taking a look at the lightning damage to his back. How extensive is it? The Levin Sword draws power from the magic of the user, with the more magic the user having, the more powerful the lightning will be, so he's trying to tell how magically inclined the user of the sword was. Is the lightning damage extensive or is it rather small?

Additionally, he's looking at the sword wounds in Shirou's front. Are they consistent with being stabbed by the Levin Sword? Or could it be any sword that was used? ]

--It's around low level damage. Most likely someone with some magic within them, but not as much as someone trained in it.

And the sword was definitely used to stab Shirou, and it seems that they even activated the sword while stabbing him.
