The blow catches Malakhiri in the face, but nothing comes of it. They do not spit and curse from the pain, instead standing still... until...
>Throw a heavy ritual candle at knuckles
The throw is sudden, overly fluid.
I lay a curse upon you. No one likes you already, but they will see you for what you are, truly. A twisted husk, puppeted by wickedness, avarice, and obsessiveness. A guardian? Nay. You are a hoarder. A hoarder of a single item, but a hoarder nonetheless. I would hear no more of your incoherent words.
To Amy, Malakhiri speaks again, this time positively shrieking. It's a jarring shift from the hoarse whisper they used to curse Knuckles.
NO! THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING I CAN SAY THAT WOULD "PROVE" ANYTHING! I'M A MASON TRUE, AND THUS, I CANNOT VISIT PEOPLE TO DISCERN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU SEEK FROM ME! THERE IS NOTHING I CAN SAY TRUTHFULLY THAT WOULD PROVE I AM ANYTHING OTHER THAN A MASON! I AM THE OPTIMAL TARGET FOR SUCH CHICANERY AS KNUCKLES AND HIS CO-CONSPIRITORS ISSUE FORTH HERE, AND THEY KNOW THIS! I CANNOT SEE YOU PEOPLE AS YOU SEE OTHERS! I CANNOT TAKE ACTIONS TO PROTECT YOU, NOR CAN I PROVE A THING, BECAUSE EVERYTHING MY ROLE IN THIS STORY PROVIDES LIES WITH MITSUHA, AND HERS WITH MINE!
Malakhiri then turns to Chip and Ada, Ada specifically.
YOU. I HELPED YOU INVESTIGATE! I INVESTIGATED THE HAIR FOUND AT THE SCENE OF THE VERY FIRST MURDER! WHEN NO OTHER COULD DISCERN ITS ARTIFICIALLITY, I LIT A STRAND ABLAZE, PROVING IT TO BE TRUE HAIR!
