Y-yes. There were multiple chemical fires in the cathedral, but they almost seemed more like distractions, since I couldn't find anything in them... um, and Ashlyn slipped on some small, hard things, before we found... one of the glitter balloons, and some cake.
But we didn't see any blood, or... either of their bodies.
...There were a bunch of those tank babies in a circle around them, holding teacups. Like they were having a tea party, with Yuffie and Vin in the middle.
[he says it slowly, like he's trying to remember which of their past murders had anything equally freaky set up]
Do you think that they were killed together, or that they might have... killed each other? I don't think that we've ever really had someone kill multiple people, have we?
It would have disturbed the setup, too, if that were happening.
...um, I don't know whether it meant anything, but after we were done investigating... w-well, firstly, she immediately wanted to hold my hand when we went in, and again right after we left, and then Ashlyn walked directly into a tree?

Lavi listens quietly, brow furrowing at the mention of chemical fires,]
Anis and I found them in the laboratory. They were both on the operating table next to each other.

It doesn't sound familiar, either.

[...]
There had to be someone else involved. There's no way Vin or Yuffie would have set that up and then tried to kill each other.
