Neo just idly listened to Unknown's questions and observations regarding the corpse that was an aftermath of last night. One of those observations was an object she pointed out concealed in the midst of the gore. He looked towards it and immediately identified it as a knife or, at least, a bladed implement due to the way it was stuck on the remains of the victim. He was not able to differentiate its details because it was covered with blood, but he knew the reason why it was there, in the context of the demon.<br/><br/>Another observation Unknown made was the fact that the victim thought he was ready to take on the town's monster all by himself, until he was proven wrong. This only made them lose chance to tell him how disastrous it would be. Neo agreed with her on two reasons. First, the fact the the man dared to face it all by himself was, for him, a sign that personal reasons were a driving force for the victim to come up to this decision. Neo knew from experience that personal reasons can strongly influence someone to do something, even against all possible odds. The second reason why he agreed with her, however, was due to the fact that her guess was the same as his. Neo has hubris as unending as his immortal life, he knew such thing and it made him more proud of himself.<br/><br/>However, the police soon came and they began to silently and orderly disperse the curiously horrified population and forensically investigate the crime scene with due diligence. While most of the observers began to leave and move on with their lives, Rattus, Yukina and Morgan had finally arrived at the scene. Rattus heard Unknown's request to made a distracting move before the authorities significantly alter the crime scene itself.<br/><br/>Thus, Rattus said, "Neo, based from your initial observations, what do you recommend we do next?"<br/><br/>"C'mere fo' a sec." Neo addressed everyone, as he walked towards the mangled body. Yukina was trying hard to stomach seeing the cadaver, even if it made her squirm and tear up. The mental image of a corpse wasn't new to her, yet it never failed to make her feel scared.<br/><br/>Morgan then commented, "Keith, indeed. Poow young man. So pwoud, so boistewous, yet so bwash. May he find etewnal west."<br/><br/>"There ain't nuttin' we can do fo' him now." Neo said. "Dipshit went way ovah his head."<br/><br/>"W-why is his corpse torn apart, Neo-san?" Yukina asked, braving herself ineffectively. "How d-does the d-demon do it?"<br/><br/>"To keep shit simple, our royal sunnovabitch basically goes inside the person like ghosties woulda, but he ain't leavin' the same fuckin' way." Neo said. "He eats them innards while he's in da bod, then goes chest-burster on the poor motherfuckah, makin' most of the uppah torso go kablooey." He then points at the knife embedded at what remained of Keith Fogelberg's chest. "An' look at dat shit, old man. Look fuckin' familiar?"<br/><br/>Morgan went to take a close look at it, before the knife was finally removed from the remains by a forensic operative and slid into a clear evidence bag. Ironically, this only made him have a clearer look at the knife. "...It's an athame! He's cleawly twying to take on the demon by himself!"<br/><br/>"And he did this as a retribution for Kenneth's untimely demise, is that correct?" Rattus asked.<br/><br/>"Why, yes!" Morgan said. "Keith owes his knowledge in magic to his oldew b'othew a lot, Mistew von Engels. But I nevew would have thought that Keith will actually do it when he said that he'll banish the demon one day!"<br/><br/>"But what is an athame, ojii-san?" Yukina was curious.<br/><br/>"It's a special knife used fow channeling enewgies in magic, young lady." Morgan answered with authority befitting a magecraft user. "In cewemonies and wituals, it wep'esents fiwe, thus it is the most ideal tool fow casting flame-based spells. Keith using an athame against the demon tells us that he stwongly wants wevenge fow his b'othew!"<br/><br/>"And when da goddamn demon got inside 'is ass, he basically fucking stabbed himself to kill it." Neo said. "Well, even if dis isn't magefag shit, y'all kno' wat stabbin' yo' own ass gets ya'. So Keith got it."<br/><br/>"A desperation tactic of some sort, I presume." Rattus commented.<br/><br/>"Goddamn righ', it is." Neo agreed.
