"This all began thirteen years prior. A werewolf named Rosa escaped from Wolphinhel and fled to Houndsworth. Months later, she gave birth to Jutte and began life as normal humans. But eight years ago, Jutte was exposed by Louise. Causing for the mother and daughter to be tortured and burned to death. But Jutte survived and fled to the Wolphinhel village through the passage that connected the two villages. The corpse they thought was Jutte's was of a fox hiding in the clocktower at the time of the burning. She lived in the werewolf village but harbored hate there for that was the village that almost killed her mother. Hating both villages, she plotted revenge and sought to bring chaos to both" ______ explains yet again proving what he knows and is much more knowledgeable than expected...

"First, half a year back, she switched places with Louise. Nora returned to Houndsworth and took Louise and kept her in the underground cave." Jutte chimes in, after _______ says this. Stating that Louise didn't struggle, saying she had every right to do it. Supporting Jutte in her revenge. As Louise was sick of the village as she was.

"Worry not, Jutte. It was plenty believable for Louise not resisting. The cave was rather cozy for a prison. I may have even thought Louise brought up the plan instead."

"We thought of it together, we had a strange relationship. She and I" Jutte exclaims, looking almost solemn when speaking of Louise...

Ciel's gaze hardens as he listens to Jutte's words. He can't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her, understanding the pain of betrayal and abandonment.

"You're quite the actress, your murders started one year ago yes? Targeting only specific young girls. Harboring hate and fear in both villages. faking your loss in the end to make yourself disappear. Sadly, that plan was foiled by the Queen's watchdog. Needing someone to blame, you used Alma who had tasked herself with ridding Houndsworth of 'bad dogs' to also satiate her hunger for human flesh. Returning to Wolphinhel, and saving me from the river. Placing me in a difficult position, once I was to be interrogated you fled erased Louise's scent and killed her. Using your own blood, you made it seem like Nora was shot dead to confuse the werewolves, and shot the nearby tree. But why go through the trouble of doing that without putting me in the complete blame?"

"You served good tea, you were kind..." Jutte replied, as _______ sighed with a small smile "You reused the body, and used the way back to lead the villagers here. Wherein the two villages clashed."

"Is your deduction finished? You didn't reach the ending then. I'll be leaving this place, elder Regi. Vera, tell Kaya I'm sorry as well for dragging you two into this. Know that I loved you both" Jutte jumps off from the tower, back to her wolf form and disappearing into the night as the werewolf elder screams at her to return, lamenting on how the Kindsfhurer could have been theirs. But _______ knows all too well that Jutte would never return to either village that harmed her beloved mother. ________ rushes off, Ciel and Sebastian running with them as they go to the cave where Jutte most likely ran off to.

"Great job Finny" ______ praises Finnian who they told to stay put in the cave to catch Jutte. In which he most certainly did "Sorry sorry, I had a lapse in my deduction..."

"But I'm the culprit still.."

"Yes but- Your goal was not revenge... Right..?"

"..."

Ciel and Sebastian chase after Jutte, fueled by a mix of determination and curiosity. They arrive at the cave where Jutte has sought refuge, finding Finnian standing guard at the entrance. Ciel looks at Jutte, his eyes searching for any signs of remorse or understanding. "Miss Jutte, tell me... what do you seek? What is the reason for all your actions?"

Ciel's voice grows quiet, the darkness engulfing their figures. "There must be more to this than revenge. You had to have had another motive, some deeper reason that drove you down this path of destruction. We want to understand, we want to help."

Sebastian's eyes trail over the walls of the cave, his voice echoing with curiosity. "Indeed, Miss. We have witnessed your cunning, your intelligence. It is clear that you possess a power far beyond what an ordinary human can wield. Tell us, what is the truth behind all of this?"

Jutte lowers her head, her wolf ears drooping slightly as she speaks softly. "You're right... there is more." She takes a deep breath, her voice tinged with a mix of sorrow and determination. "Louise was my closest friend, my confidant, even when we were surrounded by darkness, she was always there for me. And I... I loved her."

Ciel's eyes widen in surprise, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and sympathy. "Loved her? But why..."

"I know it sounds absurd, but our relationship was complicated. We found solace in each other's arms, in each other's words. We understood the pain of our pasts, the injustices we faced. We wanted a way out, a way to bring change to our villages. But as time went on, Louise grew tired of the constant struggle. She wanted to break free from it all, even if it meant burning everything to the ground."

_______ kneels down to Jutte's level speaking softly, "You both knew of the troubles of the werewolves on your side, yes? You helped them escape, kidnapping girls of the same features in Houndsworth. Sacrificing one so the other could escape. just like you did with Louise who in the end, wished for the ultimate escape of death... You who was the Kindsfhurer knew the fate of werewolf females who'd been picked to be 'priestesses' like yourself. Used for breeding- Thus you took it upon yourself to free as many as you could from the same fate before you were 13."

"It is true that I killed those girls however, thus I will accept my punishment."

"No, let's just say the detectives made an incorrect deduction. And let's just say I sympathize with ladies in 'cages' like myself so letting you go would be best. Besides, we've yet to get to the actual demon hound." After ______ nods, Finnian lets Jutte go, the werewolf walking away as _______ asks where she'll go. Jutte replying with 'somewhere Louise would like' and thanking ______ once again for the tea they made. Hoping to one day learn to make some herself when they meet again.

"Hah... Suppose I'm not as smart of a detective as I claim huh? Letting the culprit escape like that...?" The (hair color) asks, a tad bitter but also not. As ______ feels this was a better decision than whatever other option they had...

Ciel watches Jutte walk away, a mix of conflicting emotions swirling within him. He turns to _______, his voice having just a hint of regret. "Sometimes, the truth is more complex than what our deductions make it out to be. In this case, it seems that Jutte's actions were driven by a combination of love, revenge, and a desire for freedom. While her methods were questionable, her motivations were rooted in a deep longing for change and escape from the chains that bound her." Ciel looks at ______ with a small smile, a tinge of relief in his eyes. "You did well. In this case, I believe it was the right decision. It's not our place to judge her actions."

Sebastian steps forward, his voice low and resonant. "Indeed. We all have our own stories, our own struggles. Miss Jutte's desire for freedom and her love for Louise led her down a path of vengeance, but it was ultimately the pain and loss that drove her. We may not agree with her methods, but we can empathize with her pain."

Ciel takes a moment to gather his thoughts, his eyes flickering with determination. Sebastian smirks, his expression impassive. "Besides, we mustn't forget our main objective. The demon hound that has been wreaking havoc on the villages. Our presence here was never solely about catching a human culprit. Now that we have narrowed down the true nature of the problem, it is time to confront the true enemy."

________'s eyes widen in realization, a spark of determination igniting within. "Oh shit, right. I'd almost forgot about that..!"
