"I don't like you; you fooled me!"
Stomping down the halls with a huff is none other than Leah, some way ahead of the others trailing behind her. While most would be ecstatic that the killer has now been apprehended, she is filled with a begrudging anger that echos with her steps.
When the plan was set in place and the group sat in Ciel's room, she felt fine. But, when it was revealed to be Ran Mao under the blanket rather than her dear fiancé, she couldn't help but be pissed—to put it bluntly. No one knew what exactly Jeremy's plan was—fooled by a man she deems lesser than her? Insanity.
So, now rushing through the halls of Phantomhive Manor to Woodley's room—the group having been informed by Tanaka that Ciel and the others were hiding inside, Leah mumbles under her breath and makes clear jabs at Jeremy.
"Who do you think you are?" she seethes, keeping her gaze straight head. "I would hope nothing important because you are no one!"
Behind her, everyone else remains silent. At least Charles and Arthur do. Anna and even Ran Mao have been trying to calm the girl for the past few minutes, while Jeremy only serves to fuel Leah's anger every time he opens his mouth.
"I do apologize for upsetting you. That wasn't my intention," Jeremy shakes his head, though he fails to show any remorse. But who would?
Leah throws her head back but continues walking. "I do not care what your intention was!" her voice nearly raises to a yell.
Anna, brave enough to walk closer to her, carefully fiddles with discarded heels that Leah threw at Jeremy. "Mistress, perhaps you should take a moment to calm yourself?" she suggests, which causes Ran Mao to nod in agreement, occasionally glancing at any golden-rimmed paintings that they pass.
"Stay out of it, Anna!" Leah demands, speeding up when she catches Tanaka standing in the doorway to the room she's been looking for.
Further in the back, Arthur also follows along while Charles, Anna, Jeremy, and Ran Mao keep their pace. Watching her master enter, Anna takes a moment to mutter an apology on Leah's behalf, though she knows that she would protest if she were to hear this. Regardless, Anna immediately follows after her into the room.
"That man—" Leah starts almost immediately after walking in, her finger pointed towards the open door that almost makes it seem as though she's speaking about Tanaka. "That unfortunate-looking man should deem himself lucky I do not cut off his head!"
