[Ellie's P.O.V.]
Just the first four words out of Kirk's mouth were enough to shock me. Shouldn't a guy with his abilities be recuperating from his injuries and re-establishing his forces to stage a comeback? How did he suddenly die? And from what Kirk had said, he must have chosen to hang himself.
"Are you sure it was a suicide and not a homicide?" I had so many suspicions about this because I just knew that the truth about this matter wasn't that simple.
And as expected, Kirk shook his head. "I'm not sure either. We're still investigating because he was still wearing the same outfit as the one he wore during our battle. And we also found some scratches on his body, which were likely from when he was running away through the bushes."
I became even more confused. Since Nazan had chosen to escape, he definitely had the intention of making a comeback. Why would he suddenly commit suicide in his own home?
