[Yelling at them and running in helps! The crows scatter and flap around, cawing at her like hey, what the fuck? We're eating here! We've got a whole buffet!
When she gets closer in... she can see this is the body of a younger girl, left lying in the field with a bloody hole in her chest. Marina is dead.]
[The crows haven't been feasting long, which is partly to preserve evidence, partly because I don't want to have to say what would be eaten if they had been. So. She's in okay condition.
The hole in her chest is large and deep-- enough so for her heart to be missing.]
[oh good, how fun. shoos the crows away faster and she's busy checking the body. her heart's missing, so aerith is setting marina down carefully to try and see if she can locate the missing heart in the field? or anything of interest. how did she even get out here, did someone just carry her and drop her? was she killed here?
mostly any signs of blood or a struggle out here is what she's looking for in addition to the missing organ.]
[She cannot locate it! Marina is completely... heartless. Sorry. Not sorry.
Aerith also doesn't see any signs of a struggle... at first. The longer she looks, though, Marina has wounds on her arms that look very much like she fought to defend herself... but ultimately, it seems that she failed. There's no sign of violence in this field, however, nor is there enough blood to suggest here is where she lost her heart.]
[vaguely wonders if the squishy thing the teen girls found is marina's heart. me, not aerith. aerith doesn't know shit. she is looking at marina's wounds, frowning deeply as she finds herself growing more frustrated. she's young? why kill a girl who would eventually become easier to overpower?
the field being empty aside from marina's corpse is...also not promising.
she's going to try and pick her up to take her back to karlach, actually. this feels like corps news. there's nothing on her body otherwise? nothing in her pockets or on her person that stands out?]
[She will notice one more thing, yes. Marina's face is tearstained, her hands a little raw from her struggle to fight for her life.
It isn't fair. She fought and fought to try to live, cried in frustration over it, and in the end, here she is: dumped in a field, alone, for someone to come across. What kind of person could have done that?]
[and the thing is what if nobody came? what if nobody bothered to break up the murder of crows, left her to be picked to the bone and go without notice? how could someone be that cruel?
up marina goes in her arms, even if aerith staggers a little because she's not used to lugging dead weight around. she's going to go find karlach, excuse her.]

ooooouuuuggggh bad. bad! this is a younger girl and she's very much not having it, flailing her hands to shoo the crows away and approaching.]
Marina? [can she get close enough to see what the hole looks like? how large is it?
also is her body all there or have the crows been feasting for a while :ben:]
