Robin was speechless. Apparently, what happened to Warren was vaguely explained to Kiran and it sounded awfully familiar to what had just happened to the servant.

"Kiran, I'm sure it was just a coincidence, what are you getting at?" Robin asked when they entered Kiran's room and took seats in there.

"Don't you think it's possible that Alfonse could have had something to do with Warren's death, Robin?" Kiran said, shakingly.

"Well..." Robin didn't know how to respond. It was a possibility, but they didn't have enough information yet. Robin took in a deep breath before continuing. "Kiran, there is a possibility that that's true, but I don't think we have enough information just yet."

"Yet?!" Kiran cried. "When will enough, be enough? How many more people need to die before you realize there's a connection?! Warren warned us himself in the journal to not trust Alfonse or Sharena. It's possible that the servant that's dead could've found out the truth and Alfonse took them out to keep them quiet..."

"Kiran, calm down. You're panicking." Robin said standing up and walking towards Kiran. He knelt down next to them and made them look into his eyes.

"Kiran, I honestly believe you're starting to overthink this. I think we should just leave this to the castle staff. There's no reason for us to get involved."

"We're already involved!" Kiran said standing up, starting to pace while shaking their hands nervously. "It's only a matter of time until they find out about us knowing and kill us."

Robin stood up and grabbed Kiran by their arms, forcing them to stop their nervous pacing.

"Kiran, now you're just jumping to conclusions. You need to take a deep breath and relax. You haven't been sleeping well since you thought you saw Veronica, you need rest."

"I DID see Veronica! Why doesn't anyone believe me!" Kiran cried.

"Kiran, listen to me." Robin said, pulling Kiran to the sit on the ground with him. "You're exhausted, and you really need to rest. I think you should stay in your room today, have some time to yourself. I'll let Alfonse know that what happened earlier has put you into shock and you just need to calm down for the day. Can I ask you to stay in your room for the rest of the day if I go and find some information for you?"

"Y-You promise to do research on this as long as I stay in my room?" Kiran clarified.

"Yes, I will. Just please, try to calm down." Robin said before exiting the room.

Kiran pulled their knees to their chest and took deep breaths. What were they supposed to do about all this? Everything has been happening too fast. Too much has been happening just these past few days and Kiran just can't keep up with it.

'If only I never found that stupid journal.' Kiran sighed.

Ignorance is bliss as they say. If Kiran had never found the journal they wouldn't be feeling so upset. Maybe Kiran would feel better if they had some sort of weapon with them in their room. Surely the prince wouldn't do anything hostile towards his Summoner in public in front of other heroes. But being alone in their room? Both Alfonse and Sharena would have no problem getting in while Kiran was in here alone. No one there to help them when they really would need it. No Robin, no anybody.
Kiran shook their head. They promised Robin they would try and relax.

'It'll be easier for me to relax if I have something to protect myself with.' Kiran reasoned with themself.

And with that thought, they decided to make their way to the armory. Kiran slowly opened their door and took a peek outside. There was a bit of a commotion down the hall, luckily the armory was on the other side of the hall.

Making sure Robin was nowhere in sight, Kiran slowly stepped out of their room and made way towards the armory. Luckily it wasn't too far so they didn't have to be out in the open for too long.

Finally arriving, Kiran slid through the doorway and closed the door behind them, leaving them alone in the dark room. Kiran looked over everything that was in there. It probably wasn't a good idea to grab something too dangerous. They didn't know how to use most of these weapons so maybe something that was good enough to keep someone back.

Kiran's eye's wandered around until they saw a club.

Perfect!

It wasn't too heavy so it was easy for Kiran to swing and carry around.

Kiran started to make their way out of the room, when they opened the door they had almost run into Sharena.

"Kiran, what're you doing here?" Sharena asked.

"Me? I-I-I was just taking inventory on our weapons is a-a-all." Kiran stuttered out. Sharena was awfully close to their face, and that look in her eyes wasn't right.

"Why do you have a club?" she asked looking over to Kiran's hand.

"O-Oh, w-w-well, I guess I've been a bit nervous about all that's happened and thought I'd sleep better if I had something to protect myself with..."

"Oh, that makes sense." Sharena's unreadable expression turned to a smile, moving out of the doorway to let Kiran through.
Kiran started to make their way out of the armory when Sharena started to walk next to them.

"It's a real tragedy, for this to happen today..."

"Y-yeah..."

"I wonder who's next?"

Kiran stopped dead in their tracks. Why would Sharena ask that?

"Alfonse has been looking very agitated lately..." Sharena trailed off, rocking back and forth on her feet. Eyes glancing everywhere except Kiran.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"I mean... she must have been killed because she knew something about Warren, right? I think it's a little suspicious that a servant would be killed today of all days, and in the same fashion that Warren was killed..." Sharena trailed off. She stopped her rocking and finally made eye contact with Kiran.
She made her way towards Kiran and didn't stop until her face was a few inches away from Kiran's.

"You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?"

It felt like Kiran's blood had turned to ice.

"N-no, of course not." Kiran laughed nervously. Had Sharena overheard them talking to Robin? Or maybe she knew about the journal?

"YOU'RE LYING!" Sharena yelled, causing Kiran to jump and take a few steps back.

"W-what are you talking about, Sharena?" Kiran asked, pulling the club to their chest.

"You've been on edge since this morning, before we even found out about the murder." Sharena said taking steps towards Kiran again. Kiran would have backed up, but it felt like their legs were frozen to the ground.

"I know you know something, Kiran... and when I find out..."

Sharena trailed off only to start laughing. What started as small amounts of giggles turned into full on howling in laughter. She was still in Kiran's face, too close. Kiran didn't know what to do, this wasn't like Sharena at all. The only thing they could do in their panic was to push Sharena to the ground and make a dash for their room. As they were entering their room, they heard one last statement from Sharena.

"You can't hide secrets from me, Kiran..."
