Examining Dia's reaction, Reiku ignored her words of possible intimidation. His logical side told him that the woman wouldn't kill her own teamate, regardless of how she'd thought of that person. Besides, Amet would probably be on his side, though that might not be a guarantee...

''Say whatever you want to say. You know, you could just ask someone else...''

The man's thought process was suddenly interrupted by a memory of the earlier mentioning of a girl named Elizabeth Vor.

''Since when did Liz become a murderer? Sure, she has kleptomania but why?''

This caught Reiku off guard, since he knew the young woman fairly well back in his years at Beacon. From what he can remember, Liz's personality was the closest thing to his before Amy started warming up to him.

Liz was a shy, coffin-wielding weapons lover capable of holding out on her own. Being involved in a sparring session and a crucial mission with her, Reiku developed very subtle feelings towards the girl, only to be suppresed soon after his partner started showing the same emotions toward him. Still, the man couldn't help but question the current description of Liz over and over.

''What made Liz decide to do this? And why? What happened?''

Scenarios formed in Reiku's mind, his logical side trying to imagine what could've turned Liz into a killer. Soon after, however, haunting memories and dark flashbacks began entwining themselves with the scenarios, reminding the man of the last five years...the five years in which he would never escape from, no matter how hard he tried to run away from it.

Stop!

Just let it go, Reiku.

''Your mentor may be gone but she would never want to haunt you with her death. Just focus and plan for the worst right now.''

It was clichéd advice that would normally slap Reiku back to reality, but this time he wasn't there; the memories now cleared from his mind but he couldn't refrain from thinking about Liz...
