We never discussed went into much depth on this, but Beat was... already deceased, in a sense.

[She frowns.]

It's difficult to explain. The point is, I don't think he possessed his powers for fun or for sport. There was a reason he needed to be able to do the things he did.

[whoops nope now Kaoru is entirely lost. the rest of that will be addressed shortly, but first:]

...Ah, wait a moment, Miss Sto Helit. Mr. Beat was already dead before being killed?

[inthebones]

In a sense.

He had a status similar to a psychopomp - it explains the wings and the other abilities.

[souredsweet]

I do not understand what a psychopomp is, I'm afraid... But if he was already dead, would that have interfered with the autopsy report in any way?

[inthebones]

...I don't think so. Here, he counted as a normal human child with some extra abilities. He bled and died just the same as anyone else.

[souredsweet]

The wording of the cause of death just strikes me as strange... But I suppose Mr. Clyde's was written in a misleading way as well.

[inthebones]

...Well.

'Apparently died of a fatal wound' isn't exactly clear in any sense. Fatal wounds to his kidneys induced by poisons would still qualify.

[souredsweet]

The vagueness leads me to believe that there is something here we are not seeing...

[inthebones]

I can examine the body further in case anything was missed. Perhaps you can take a look at the blade wounds as well - to see how much force must have been applied to each one.

[souredsweet]

I can certainly do so if it would be allowed. As I am a suspect, it would be prudent for my word to be taken with a grain of salt.
