Kai stood beside the next door, waiting.
"Anything?"

She gave a shake of her head. "Just girlie shit. Lotions and face creams, hair products... It is actually really clean in here, compared to the rest of her house."
She shuddered slightly and closed the door, turning to look back at him.
"What exactly are you hoping to find here?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure. Just... something, anything to find out what bastards did this."
He said as he continued down the hallway.

Rie suddenly paused, glancing at the boy. She reached up to lightly brush her fingertip along her jaw.
"Um... see if you can find a Bible. Or something like it. Big, probably black religious looking book."

"What?"
He would ask turning to look at the girl. He wasn't sure what she meant...

She blinked.
"A... Bible?"

"...Uh..."
The fuck was a bible?! A tool? Clothing? Location? A weapon??
"Right..."
Then he would just keep walking!

She stared after him blankly for a moment. How could anyone living in an English speaking country NOT know what a Bible was? She reached up to juice a gentle tug at the ends of her black hair.
Giving a shake of her head, she turned back to continue looking through the bathroom supplies.
Kai found himself in the hallway with a couple of choices. What room called to him?

He opened the door on a bedroom! This was the only room in the house NOT covered by a thin layer of dust. In fact, it looked as if it had just been utilized that very morning. The comforter was a tangled mess on the bed, a pair of short pink PJ shorts was right by the bedside, and one of the drawers of her dresser still hung halfway open. The windows were blocked by blinds and curtains, the latter of which hung just an inch or so away from each other, giving a thin band of light that seemed to brighten the entire room.
It was, very simply, the stereotypical college-girl room, perhaps a little less messy. The walls were covered in posters; there was a desk piled high with textbooks, notebooks, and pens; both bedside tables had glasses of half-finished water on them; the mirror on top of the dresser was completely lined in small Poloroid pictures of the victim and her family and friends. There was even a cute little retro home phone on one side of the bed.
Ripley continued to search through the bathroom, giving Kai time to snoop!

There's... some kind of strange shrine in here."
Kai called out.

Shrine? Well, that sounded promising. Setting down the way-too-empty jar of face cream, Ripley stood up straight and stretched. She stared up at the ceiling and took a deep breath in, looking around at the bathroom one last time. Something about this entire situation did not sit well with her, but she couldn't put her finger on it, and she sure as fuck didn't plan to tell that to this stranger.
She wandered into the bedroom, fully expecting to see some sort of witchy witch craft table with the strange blankets, wide chalices, and nifty looking knives... but she saw, instead, what looked like a totally normal - if not a bit too clean - dorm room. And they weren't even IN a dorm. The girl really had a way of making you forget the kind of shithole she inhabited.
"Shrine, huh? You don't know what a Bible is, but you're gonna tell me you found... what exactly? Some kind of Satanic voodoo bullshit?"

Kai pointed at the pictures.
"Isn't that what serial killers do? Put photos of their victims on their walls and shit?"
He asked. Seriously.

Ripley turned to see what he was pointing at... and stared. There was a wall full of pictures and posters, but they were all... totally normal. Her brows furrowed and she turned back to him, trying to judge whether this guy was an idiot... or trying to joke with her. She tilted her head slowly to one side.
"Uh. I mean... I guess? But so do most people. Like..." She turned back to the pictures, specifically the ones that were obviously not famous people. "I'm pretty sure chickadee is actually IN most of these..."

Kai just blinked. Obviously confused.
"Why?"

"Why is she in them? Probably because these look like her friends. And her family again, see there?" Ripley bent slightly at the waist to lean over and examine each picture closely. Most of them seemed centered around the same group of kids, all about the same age. She glanced between the pictures.
"Or why do people hang them up?"

"The latter. What is the point?"
He didn't understand.

She fell into another lapse of silence. Holy crap, he was serious. Her eyes widened slightly.
"Happy thoughts? You know, good memories, fun times? You ever have fun, there, Kylo Ren?"

His face turned sour.
"My name is Kai. And last time I joined a group of people having 'fun' it was to stop them from beating a little girl to death. But they found it more fun to beat me and the girl together. So I killed them all."
His words still full of Anger and Sorrow as fresh as the day he witnessed the event.

Ripley stood there, blinking, as she stared at Kai. That... escalated quickly. She was such a private person, and so very used to other private people... That was the one thing the very rich and the very poor seemed to have in common. They were both a secretive, private people, preferring to make their lives look like something they weren't.
She tucked her hands back into the pockets of her trench coat, letting the oversized fabric hang loosely off her slender shoulders. "That's a little... TMI. Either that, or its supposed to be a euphemism. And if its THAT... then it felt short, my dude. Way short, actually."
Anger. Sorrow. Those were emotions she was used to dealing with. Just not so... blatantly.
