Pita would provide an eyewitness account of how the mage had died, but once again, that wouldn’t prove anything. It merely implied that a mage—who just happened to work for Mitsuhama—had died at the hands of a weird spirit, probably one that he had conjured up using the speli on the chip. The fellow hadn’t even had the courtesy to the outside the Mitsuhama offices. Instead, he’d been found in an alley behind the brokerage firm where his wife used to work. It was hardly the incriminating tie-in to Mitsuhama that they needed.
