Sabine hesitated before sitting down. She mimicked Meesei's cross-legged position, but sat leaning forward. Meesei's request made her realise that she was biasing the decision to speak about the matter all along.

She began slowly, looking ahead. "Something happened. When Fendros and Ahnasha were questioning the people they captured. Fendros told you about the man with his wife and daughter in the wagon." Meesei had been updated on the details of the investigation, but nothing as thorough as the techniques Fendros and Ahansha used. "They questioned those three together. I heard shouting from inside the cabin." Sabine shook her head slowly. "I expected that. But then the daughter screamed. There was a moment, and then Ahnasha told me to come in and heal the girl. She had a knife wound through her hand."

Sabine brought up her knees unconsciously. "Ahnasha was holding a knife at the time. I...I told Kaleeth afterwards and she thought it could have been an accident. I thought that was it and asked Fendros and Ahnasha later. Ahnasha said that she intentionally stabbed the girl in the hand to get her father to talk." Sabine was not upset as she explained, but her eyes were wide with anxiety. "The way Ahnasha and Fendros explained it, they did not want to cause permanent damage, and they did not. But...they were so indifferent. I did not know that Ahnasha would do something like that. And Fendros seemed okay with it. We never hurt innocent people. It felt like they did not care. And I..." Sabine stopped to take a breath. "I am confused and afraid. I do not know what to think about it."
