Tied to the ground by chains, Arachnea looked at her captors defiantly. However, the fierce look in her eyes slowly subsided, giving place to a vacant gaze.
"Looks like the iron is taking effect, Schnee," commented the gray-haired boy responsible for Arachnea's restraints.
The girl in the dark veil simply nodded in acknowledgement as she watched the white-haired maid return to a more human form.
"Considering the state she is currently in, I doubt she will be able to give the required answers to my questions," she replied. "But the evidence here clearly suggests that Miss Vasilisa was attacked by Miss Arachnea during a discussion I was overseeing. What do you think, Aspirant Executioner Fenrir?"
"Do you really have to ask me this?" mumbled the boy, furrowing his eyebrows.
"My witness and Miss Vasilisa's should be enough, but having yours would be invaluable as well."
"... I do see traces of attack."
"Yes?"
"... And I restrained that Arachnea as she was attacking Vasilisa."
