Case File: Diary of Ernest Nightray
Day 11.5
They're saying that the culprit was an illegal contractor with a chain. There are a lot of names being thrown around: Head Hunter, Queen of Hearts… I can't make sense of it.
I saw Fred's head. His severed head. Why they needed my family to come in to identify that it was my brother, I do not know. It was not as if he didn't spend most of his time in Pandora, with those very members who found his body… And his head. Mother nearly fell to pieces. Elliot did not come with. For that, I am glad. He, too, seems badly shaken. Angry and broken. Vanessa has not left her room, seeing only Hans.
Vincent scoffed. Scum. Gilbert was pale but said nothing. I hate them. Why couldn't it have been them? Gilbert was the one who inherited Raven. Why couldn't he have been the one who was targeted?
I don't know how to help Elliot. He is so badly shaken. Claude and I are trying to think of some way to divert him.
Maybe divert ourselves, as well.
We have tripled security at the manor. Pandora members will stand outside our rooms for the next few weeks while we sleep. Father is not pleased, but Mother seems calmer with that prospect. I will have Elliot in my room tonight. He says he will not sleep and will read, but I should feel better with him nearby, anyways, especially since he has no servant to protect him.
