[One of the victims was the girl to whom Tomioka lent his shirt. He and Shinobu must both be feeling awful.
It's also not unusual for Pillars like them to show up with scratches and bruises. When Shinobu asks about the ruins, though, Mitsuri shoots Tomioka a look of surprise. Why there? He just couldn't make it back to the camp on time?]
[Oh, Tomioka. Mitsuri is even more relieved now to see him in one piece. But he should've left a more thorough exploration for another time when it was getting late!
At the mention of Anaido, she covers her lips with a hand.]
I didn't see anything or anyone on the way.
[By anyone, she means bodies. That's all she volunteers as she waits for Tomioka and Shinobu to continue.]
[ giyuu can see where that smile is going(?) no, he really can't but this isn't the time to be obtuse... not that he's being obtuse when he replies. ]
I wasn't able to find anything.
[ and when she mentions having found anaido...all he can think of is that annoying guy who followed him around and called him senpai and. hm. well, that's some food for thought that he'll have elsewhere. ]
...was he dead when you found him?
[ a bit of a rhetorical question, but who knows what the rules are. ]
[The disembodied voice announced a death prematurely. That shouldn't be shocking, yet it is—and disgusting. Just how horrified was Shinobu to find someone at death's door, unable to help?
If it had been her to find Anaido, Mitsuri doesn't think she could have taken it.
Does that mean the other individuals who were named are out there right now, suffering?]
[ later he'll find out that rachel and dimitri were there to see anaido die and... well, it won't be nice.
and while mitsuri doesn't say it outloud, giyuu will definitely comment on it. he doesn't know everyone on the list but one of them—he feels particularly bad for. ]
Should we go look for the others?
[ it's a question only because of time. there are three other bodies to find, right? would it be worth it by the time they found them? ]
[Although three bodies may sound like a lot (and they are three too many), the island takes hours to cover from one end to the other. This is going to be an all-day affair. Taking that into consideration, and her lack of familiarity with the victims, Mitsuri has no preference.]
Why don't we look for all of them? We might find someone unexpected first.
[ not that he's suggesting that they do because of how inefficient it would be for them to do that. especially given how they can't communicate via crow. ]
I don't have any one that's more important than the others.
[ even though he allowed marie to borrow his shirt the night of the storm it didn't mean that she is any more important than anyone else that they could find. though, he will hope that she is not in a terrible condition (laughs in trial). ]

[She misses her crow. She misses a lot of things, but inconvenience isn't going to stop her from helping. Tomioka and Shinobu are far more leaderly than she is, so Mitsuri nods with a quiet, affirmative hum.
It's a crying shame that, after all that effort, they come up with nothing.]

I was. [ and he's extraordinary thankful that rachel is not dead and ended up being with him. ] I wanted to do one more check about what I could find.
[ basically, he did not learn his lesson the first time and then, you know, fire happened. caves are bad. ruins are bad. where is not bad. ]

[ She's smiling because of Giyuu now and not because of the FOUR MURDERS. Well, still because of that but extra because of Giyuu.
Her smile says, was it worth almost dying by fire?
Tell her, Tomioka-san. Tell her. :) ]
I found Anaido-san.

[ Surprise! ]
But he died soon after. There was no saving him.

Yes. Is there anyone you want to look for first?
[ Even if it's too late by the time they're found, they deserve to be found. To be left is a sadder fate than any of them deserve.
Or most of them. ]
