Anna followed Horatio's lead as they went to the boy's room. She was skeptical that a blind child could give much actual evidence in any normal investigation, much less a child who had witnessed such traumas without even having a true comprehension of what had happened. Still, she knew it was her duty to exhaust every lead. The boy had a witness, after all. There was still a chance he could give some piece of information.

The problem was that Anna hadn't the slightest idea of how to approach the boy. She had never given the slightest interest towards children, even if she had heard plenty of preachers say it was a holy task to raise them into the Faith. Briefly glancing towards Horatio, Anna wondered if he would be better suited, but it was just as likely he would be even less suited after what he had been through.
