Pale's mind was distorted. Her body was weak and flimsy. Her energy was drained and she barely responded to people.
She was staying in the palace with her two Alices due to the Kings' request. They knew that she didn't murder Jimin or Namjoon, but they chose to keep her safe.
She was close to both of them. She worked with Jimin to choose the Alices that deserved to come to Wonderland, and she worked with Namjoon to coordinate the night of the bidding.
The kings were only making sure that she wouldn't be next on the murderer's list. Jin had his arms wrapped around her upper body and Jungkook hugged her waist as his legs wrapped around her legs.
The three were comfortably laying on the bed. Their emotions were in distress and parts of their body were tense, but they at least tried to be as comfortable as possible.
Jungkook buried his face into her stomach and warmed her up. Jin decided to follow after Jungkook and kissed Pale's forehead before burying his nose into her soft hair.
Her hair was soft but slightly tangled. On the night of the murder, Jin volunteered to wash Pale's hair for her. She was numb and quiet. It was almost as if she were mute, but he knew she was still capable of talking and hearing.
The bathroom at the palace was magnificent. There was so much room in the bathtub and Jin could have easily slipped in there with Pale. He wanted to so badly, but he knew he couldn't take advantage of someone so lost and fragile.
No one knew how long it would take for Pale to get rid of the image of Namjoon's body. It was bloody and the last thing she remembered hearing were her own hysterical cries. A scene like that could permanently scar someone for life. Everyone in Wonderland knew that Pale was emotionally unstable, but not in a murderous way. She was a sad being that loved the attention.
She had the attention of the kings and residents of Wonderland, but it wasn't in a good way. Everyone knew everyone. There was no telling who the murderer was.
