Stiles!

[Ok yeah, definitely a body part. She doesn't even bother going to the icebox, instead going up to sink and gently rubbing Stiles' back to comfort him.]

Ok, Stiles, I think you need to take a break. You're not going to be any good to anyone like this.

[humanic]

No.

[He shudders, wiping his mouth, eyes glassy but also burning with rage and determination.]

We keep investigating, got it? We turn this kitchen completely upside down. If they hid the head and the torso here, who knows what else they might have left? I don't want to have to come back here later, and I'm not letting this fucking bastard get away with this just because I did a sloppy job searching this place because I was too distracted by the body parts. That's probably exactly what they want. We can't let what happened with Annie happen here again. We won't.

...and if you could find me a mint while we're at it, that'd be awesome.

[allice]

...I don't think the 1920s had mints, but we'll see if we find any. [Alice had no intention of stopping investigating of course. She just worries Stiles might be pushing himself a little too hard is all.

I'm going to go look at what you found a little closer. ...We'll have to take it out eventually when the trial comes. [The thought of everyone having to bring the body back piece by piece is an excruciating idea to her.] Take a minute to collect yourself and search around. I doubt that she was killed here - the body was probably cut up elsewhere and then brought back here and only after did they cut up the torso in the middle of the room to make a scene.

[humanic]

Go ahead. Fair warning though, it's pretty gruesome. Ugh, I'm gonna have nightmares for life.

[He squares his shoulders and starts looking underneath all the surfaces, remembering Siren's trial.]

There's something weird about what's around her mouth too. It doesn't look like blood - at least not the kind of blood you'd expect from someone being gutted.

[allice]

[She gets to the opened ice box after he says "her" and grimaces. Belarus. She closes her eyes for a moment and takes a deep breath, before she begins to examine the body...well the head of the body. Eyes wide opened, probably surprised when killed much like Minatsuki. She pauses for a moment and then reaches out to the head inside with both hands and puts one hand under the jaw and another clenched around the nose, attempting to open up the mouth to see if she can find any of the pink fluid inside Belarus' mouth. It might be easier to just take the head out, but it may be safer to keep it frozen until the trial.]

[It looks like there is some blood in her mouth.]

[humanic]

[Surfaces checked, he next presses the button for the elevator and looks down the shaft, still having flashbacks to Siren's trial.]

What do you make of it?

[productions]

[There's nothing down the shaft.]
