Afraid I don't know who Zuko was close to, however, so the consideration hasn't gotten far from that point. Strife was from the same scenario, but beyond that...
I wouldn't think Cloud would go after him - not in his right mind. Frankly, it's equally possible someone thought it an acceptable target, as terrible as it sounds.
No, I don't believe so, either. But Kaeya would make for an acceptable target, unfortunate as it is to say - his hostage is safe, now, and he's already killed and gotten away with it.
Should the culprit be found, Diluc will likely wish to act. We haven't even spoken on it, but I know him, and I know what the two of them have been through.
But we will not let him kill them. The others, I'm not concerned about. They'll be more inclined towards finding the answer for both of our victims this week.
We do not need things to get out of hand with two deaths, no. [ his fingers curl around hers. ] I can't do much about it, in my state, even if I'm playing it off in public. But Yoo Joonghyuk and Kim Dokja will be on watch.
From experience, we know what grief can do when it becomes anger, and especially when it has a target.
I fear to say this, in case someone dear to me turns out to be involved. But there may be good reason to destroy both shadows, and save a hostage in the bargain. Killing someone at trial does suffice to secure a hostage's life.
Considering my last week, I understand. [ tiredly, but with annoyance at the situation. ] We can keep an eye on things throughout trial. It would be nice to say if killing someone kills the shadow, we could perhaps benefit from the idea, if we have that certainty.

Zuko. He had been possessed by the shadow, despite telling it no.

Then there is the possibility that someone targeted him on purpose.

A delayed conviction, but one nonetheless.

Only if we have certainty. Do you suspect someone close to you has been behaving strangely?
