"...Suicide? Gloria?"
Master Yanis's pace halted.
She turned around, her voice filled with disbelief as she asked.
"I had originally thought so. But now that you've mentioned it, I can be certain—at least when she was chatting with you, she had no thoughts of dying."
Sherlock said calmly.
Afterward, he shared the information they had just gathered from Cardinal Loki with Master Yanis.
"...Gloria was friends with Grey and Mercedes?"
Yanis murmured, "She has never mentioned this to me... And she was a backup Holy Maiden; I've never even met her."
"Because she was eliminated early, she didn't have time to study aesthetics with Lady Vanhua."
Aiwass explained, then inquired, "When did you meet her?"
"...Decades ago, or maybe a hundred years. I can't recall clearly. It was during my last return to the Holy Nation, when I was organizing my teacher's belongings."
