[And then Ven's hand was both burnt and impaled. Let's hope there wasn't any useful evidence hiding in his hands. That would have been rough (for everyone else not Alice).
But dead boys can't talk, so after Alice finishes impaling his palm with the fire poker, his corpse remains more or less in the position she desired. His eyes are closed and his mouth is shut, and while someone more poetic might feel the urge to ploddingly describe this scene, we'll just leave it as is. Dead boy kneeling, covered in blood, bruises and burns. Thank you, Alice and mystery killer.
To contribute to Alice's good time: It doesn't seem like anything's happening to her for disregarding the "don't investigate" command. Not that this count as investigating. Perhaps Abigail and her employers are enjoying the show? Who knows.]
