The group decides to interrogate Aerin Vess, to see if they can discover any connection between him and Jane. Believing ambushing him in his room is the best course of action, Eight poses as room service in order to gain entry. When they do, Eight is able to compel Vess to let the group in. Prostrate and under restraint, Vess becomes subject to the group’s questioning.

Francis begins the interrogation and Vess, in an attempt to redirect the questioning, implies that he and the inspector have more in common than Francis may like to admit. Rou then asks into the nature of why he is leaving town, to which Vess responds it is to procure wine for Francis. Eight becomes suspicious and turns their questioning to the inspector, who quickly waves this off. He indicates that the town guard serves the will of the nobility and as a member, he indirectly serves Vess’s master.

Despite their best efforts, the interrogation begins to go poorly as Vess seeds doubt in the group’s minds. Eight, in particular, seems to be taking it the hardest. However, it isn’t until he threatens Rou that Eight makes a swift end to the questioning.
