[ After the investigation starts to settle down, Tenn finds himself wandering around aimlessly; his feet lead him to the fountain, where he kind of just sits on the edge of it and hides his face in his hands.
He knows there won't be much time until they'll be summoned to try and catch Riku and Gin's killer, but this is really too much for him to take. He suddenly feels so alone, so small compared to everyone else here. He really did feel like Riku made him stronger.
The realization that he'll have to go to bed alone, that there's one less person for him to make meals for in the morning, that the person he tried so hard to look out for is gone -- it starts to sink in. Tenn scrubs his fingers through his hair and tries to fight back tears. ]
[Sometime after the autopsy finishes, Yor returns to her room to get herself cleaned up properly and changed - it's her one nice dress that had gotten her through years of nothing else particularly fancy, and it just so happens to be more or less appropriately colored for mourning.
After that... well, it's a matter of finding the others and checking in with them, and lucky her, Tenn is easy enough to locate at the fountain. Steps still quiet despite the heels, she makes her way over to sit next to him.]
[Suga didn't have the strength for the investigation. He knows he should, he knows he owes it to Riku's killer, but after learning whose blood that likely was in the bakery... He just couldn't.
He sits on Tenn's other side, and reaches over to gently place a hand on his shoulder.]
[ If only the five of them could be here together like this. If only Riku didn't suffer such a cruel fate. Tenn looks at them before his eyes go back to his knees. ]
...I'm sorry. I -- as his brother... I should have paid more attention, trained more with him... Maybe he'd still be here, if I'd...
[ He doesn't sound convinced, but it's the only thing he can manage for a brief moment as more tears quietly fall from his eyes. ]
Please...help me find who did this to him. I don't know if the killer is the same as Ichimaru-san's -- but I -- I can't let whoever did this get away with it.
[ All he can do is nod, because he can't add to this particular topic since everything he feels has already been said.
But...there is one other thing he wants to say. ]
I... I trust you. All three of you. Let's work together to find Riku's killer. I know Riku cared about all of us. He would want us to stick together even when things are bad.
