Here's some more in-depth info on Chapter 3 Scene 2:


 * First time Hanne's set foot in Toragay in a long while (Marx is discovered on September 19 and Elluka's there til about September 3, so this should be roughly two and a half weeks later).


 * The world police haven't released an official statement on Caspar's death; Hanne's here to help progress the investigation and continue her own research into the matter.


 * She decides to meet with Constable Ein Anchor first. She's figuring he'll know everything the police have gathered up til that point (though she also seems to expect him to hate her so it sounds like they have a history).


 * I THINK she expects him to be a "good boy" though too so he sounds young.


 * When she meets him at the police station, he (rudely) asks why she's bothering him and says he's busy. Hanne points out that doesn't seem to be the case since he's there and not at the investigation scene.


 * Ein explains that the case is losing momentum since it's a person of court rank (and from laziness). Elluka says something to the effect of this "This is the world police's official statement for the death of a Marquis? You guys are more incompetent than I thought.".


 * Ein gets a visibly hurt looks and says saying that won't help much. It was because of the Doctor's judgement on it.


 * Elluka: "No way, you believe Dr. Felix's testimony?" (roughly)


 * Ein says "of course" and they even allowed him to be examined there and that it seems to be a "respiratory failure due to choking"; however, they can't find a connection with tobacco, as it seems unlikely there'd be something abnormal occuring with tobacco leaves.


 * Regardless, their hand has been forced so they can't even say it's an accidental death, let alone murder (they have to accept the testimony).


 * Hanne asks if he thinks there's anything more going on and Ein shoots back "you think so" and she immediately points out his earlier words that "saying that won't do much", implying there's something he's unable to say.


 * Hanne has a lucky guess. Ein's brow wrinkles a bit and he checks to make sure no one else is around.


 * He brings up that although the Marquis is dead, he was a pretty (I think he says something to the effect of...) rotten person. Hanne mentions she knows he surrounded himself with misstresses and wasn't very well-behaved.


 * Ein states "not only that" but that he was also being quite spendy on the Blankenheim's wealth, and seemed to make a temporary recovery by marrying the Felix family's daughter and was even borrowing out of the Felix's fortune.


 * Hanne notes that "come to think of it" she didn't see a single servant or security member and asked if he couldn't even afford to hire people.


 * Ein adds that, according to the aristocracy that made exchanges (talked) with the Marquis that his financial standing suddenly went up(I think?) a few months ago. He seemed to be attracted to buying expensive imported goods from the New World.


 * Hanne points out that tobacco would be among those expensive imports and Ein says a single cigarette was close to a thousand Evus.


 * So there's no way the Marquis could've been able to buy these when he was facing such financial difficulties. But, Ein says there's a possibility the Marquis was using a means to earn money that no one knows about.


 * This was Hanne's lead on Caspar being part of the black market. And so, she asks if he found any clues to how Caspar was "earning money".


 * Ein says he didn't but that he did find something troublesome in the basement of the mansion. It seemed to have been used as a warehouse but the room was empty. No one considered the prospect of him selling off stuff for his personal gain.


 * Since the room was largely left untouched, he carefully searched the room again. Then, in a hole in the wall, he found a piece of paper that looked like it was a story book cover.


 * Hanne immediately asks if it was a Freesis Fairy Tale and has to promise she will pretend she never heard anything. Ein confirms there was no mistaking it was one of the "Loss List".


 * There was suspicion that the Marquis was involved in the behind the scenes/illegal distribution of Freesis Fairy Tales but no conclusive evidence yet.


 * Hanne asks why they haven't looked further into this and Ein remains silent for a while, staring at the wall with an angered look. He finally admits he was told not to look into it anymore by his boss, certain he was being pressured from somewhere.


 * When Hanne asks from where, Ein's answer is that it would be the Freesis Foundation and Hanne doesn't understand how that's possible.


 * Freesis Foundation is apparently pretty darn merciless when it comes to Yukina's copywrights (which a company in the umbrella publishes) and would be relentless in stopping such illegal distribution.


 * Ein doesn't have an answer for why but says it's impossible for the world police to get involved, hence why he's talking to her and Hanne catches on that he wants her to look into it for him.


 * Ein elaborates that people like are tied by the foundation's management, while she seems to be unbound by organizations.


 * For whatever reason, Hanne suddenly asks to hear (or tell?) a story and Ein's confused and she explains it doesn't have to be a big one (I think?) and asks about him getting the name from his grandfather apparently.


 * Ein explains that when he was a baby, his grandfather was abandoned at a Lucifenian church and then the sister at the church named him "Ein".


 * Then, it seems the constable's father respected his grandfather and so gave his son the name as well. And so, Ein wanted to be a respectable cop like his grandfather.


 * His grandfather was apparently the original/founding commissioner of the world police.


 * Hanne asks why the sister named the man Ein in the first place and Ein seemingly doesn't know but points out he heard the sister was of the same Netsuma clan as him and his grandfather.


 * Hanne then notes Sister Clarith, the founder of the Sisters of Clarith, had written a bit about Toragay in her autobiography. During the Lucfenian-Elphegort war, she had been captured there for a time as a prisoner of war.


 * The lords at the time had been the Felix earls, and one of the earl's soldiers had been her childhood friend with a name he should be familiar with: Ein. The sister had apparently taken the name she gave his grandfather from him (awwww.....).


 * The constable asks about what kind of person this "Ein" was. Hanne believes he was a courageous man. It was said he spotted the sister fleeing from Lucifenia and wrote that he lost his life protecting her.


 * Hanne says this means that the name he and his grandfather took up was that of a brave soldier of Toragay. Ein's pretty emotionally moved and nods a lot.


 * Hanne states how he and Toragay have such ties. The brave "soldier Ein" protected this land once; time passes, and another incident occurs. "Well Constable Ein..... are you condifent you can protect this land?" (****ing Elluka........)


 * Ein's pupils radiate as Hanne states it. Apparently, the hot-blooded youth really loves tales of hereos and Hanne usually persuads him with entwined stories of such people like "Leonhart Avadonia" (tales Hanne "knew all too well".... I wonder why)

So Caspar only married Margarita so he could still be living the high life. Scummier and scummier.

Also a small note, whenever I'm saying tobacco, it's 煙草 which can also just mean "cigarettes". Depends on how you want to use it.

This also seems to be the origin of Elluka's eventual conclusion that Bruno is connecte to Pere Noel. Makes me wonder if that's how we get that scene with Hanne seemingly in prison with Ein.

I'll finish the rest of this scene later.

Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go and use the feels room.
