[Well the ride down was unsettling, but he's already been feeling a little bleak. They do have a job to do, however.]
I examined the body. Yuta and Dylan were in the room with me, and can confirm some of the observations, though neither of them got so... close as I did. I couldn't confirm time of death, but for what it's worth, it had not entirely cooled when I touched it.
Luz was killed by a single stab wound to the chest. There was no significant angle to the wound that I could see, which makes it likely that the culprit was of a similar height instead of significantly shorter or taller or is able to fly, or that Luz was lying down when originally stabbed. If it was someone who was significantly shorter or taller then there would probably be some kind of upward or downward angle to the wound.
It was not very large, and was likely made by a knife or scissors, or something with similar dimensions. Not a sword, or an axe.
She might have known what was happening. There was a gash on her arm which might be a defensive wound. Her fingertips and fingernails, however, had dirt on them, but no blood, so it is unlikely that she managed to scratch the culprit, unless she used some kind of tool, however the fact that her hands were dirty might mean she was using them to dig or bury something before she was killed.
The puddle of blood she was lying in seemed like the right size for someone of her size bleeding to death, so if she was moved from somewhere else it is probable that the knife was only removed after she was placed where she was found. There were no signs of significant movement or struggle. Despite this, she had blood on the soles of her shoes, which were... not being worn as might be expected. They seemed to be too loose, and disheveled.
