Vinzent Mayer “What were you doing shortly before all of this was going down? Maybe if we… Ask people what they were doing before, we might have a better idea of where we were at that time?”
Whatever funk Asuka was in, that statement seemed to snap her out of it from where she was standing. The look of anger was a surprise though.
“Hey! Why are you asking Haruka like that!? She’s too cool to do something shitty like this.” What a wonderful defense. “Besides, she was hanging out with me, because we’re both awesome, obviously.” That’s a much better defense. “We were giving the Creature pets for being so fluffy! Because, like, super fluffy!” The way Asuka’s hostility melts away makes her look much more her age, perhaps even younger, eyes sparkling.
Without any hostility, she bounds over to Vinzent, leaning in to loudly whisper: “The Creature eats coconuts whole, it’s so cute!!!”
Of course, the fact they’re at a murder scene can’t escape Asuka’s notice for too long, however, and she quickly reverts back to normal, a grimace on her face as she stares at the corpse.
Can Asuka try to put her foot in the footprint, or is it too faded from that? Is a size comparison possible?
