Lauren didn’t expect she would get her rank back but Kieran is supportive of her, telling Lauren she deserves it so much, and she is clearly taken aback by his words!
It’s interesting that Lauren looks so stunned by Kieran patting her arm. They’re long since past awkwardness about physical touch, so why now? Could it be that Lauren perhaps likes his touch a little more than she thought?
Moment of appreciation for the way you can hear Kieran’s teasing tone with ‘“oh– a detective’s badge~” and that sly smirk we love so much
However, we can’t be too mad, because despite Hermann lying about Lauren demonstrating excellent behavior over the past year, he genuinely commends her and promotes her!
She mentions how some of the Phantom Scythe’s ideas are well founded but just when it seems like we might get some answer about March, Hermann interrupts
It’s interesting to note March’s lie when he says he always looked up to Lauren’s parents for their strong sense of justice.
March is looking pretty sus with all these lies. His lies seem far too overt to be accidental, especially when the truths mixed in make a lot of sense. Could he be trying to tell Lauren something?
