From over by the window where Rika was sitting, a sharp smashing sound is heard, immediately drawing the attention of all in the room. Jessica would exclaim, "Watch it, Battler!"
Looking over would reveal Battler picking up pieces of what appears to be a small blown glass ash tray. He flushes, and responds with as much volume but more generally to the room, "Sorry, my hand just slipped!" He leans down to begin picking up shattered pieces of glass, and George moves to help him.
It is shortly after this that another sound is heard across the room - the sharp scrap of a chair being pushed and someone rising. Eva is now standing straight-backed with a gun raised (but do note that it is held properly; her grip is trained, if you know how to tell) and pointed at your table. Should you turn around, you would see what she is so surprised about, which is that a letter that you do not recognize from seconds prior is now sitting atop the coffee table next to you.
Nanjo proclaims with surprise, "This is Kinzo's seal," while pointing at the red wax seal on the golden letter. At this point, everyone at the adult table has arisen from their seats.
Eva strides over, making pointed eye contact with all at the table to indicate that her firearm is aimed at them all collectively. She takes the letter herself, and then steps back before opening it.
She frowns, and then reads it out loud, in English. "Which one is the wolf among the sheep?"
At this point, Eva discusses with the adults that she suspects everyone at your table of potentially being a culprit. She is adamant, and they are disinclined to argue much - not that it seems like any of them disagree too intensely, anyway. She demands of them that the group of suspects be removed from the parlor and held somewhere where they can be confident they're not a threat to the rest of the family or household. After a quick vote, they all mostly agree - but George raises an objection.
George heads over to your table, grasps Shannon's hand, and walks over to the adults table. Eva has her gun in her hand, but it's not raised at George. Then ensues an argument between George and his mother about how he loves Shannon, is refusing to let her be held captive without him, and then after quite a bit of familial melodrama Eva concedes to George.
Your group, which, besides you, obviously, includes Rosa, Maria, Gohda, Nanjo, and, of course, Shannon, the subject of much, much debate, and, now, George, too, all head out, lead by Rosa, with a key from Krauss, to a room that is, indeed, known as the infamous, if not well protected, study of Kinzo.
You are currently walking toward the study. You simply arrive in the study if choose to do nothing else.
