sorry about your boyfriend. yeah we kept putting him in really awful situations and we also gave him Horig’s Virulent Plague. yeah he’s coughing up blood. we also killed the one doctor character so hopefully he recovers

Squinted at part 48's transcripts and came up with this layout of the castle:

It's super not to scale, and if there are any mistakes (very likely) I am sorry! There's also things like the order of the other 3 chambers and the kitchen/library layout that were not mentioned in the episode.

Read more has my jumble of clues found so far 🔍

## Friar

- Arthur saw him enter his chamber

- claims to have been asleep the entire time, woken up by the commotion

- still wearing his elaborately tied shoes

- Gerard says he saw the Friar leave the chamber at some point

## Barnabus

- went to the study with Evrard

- was not with Evrard when Langward died

- both he and Evrard found Gerard outside the hall to the chapel looking nervous

## Evrard

- did not reveal that Barnabus was not with him when Gerard died until the very end of the episode

- (does Not Care)

## Gerard

- followed Langward into the Chapel due to them both being part of the Order of the Fallen Star

- carrying a ring from the Order

- After speaking to Langward, left to wait at the end of the chamber hallway until both Arthur and the Friar had entered their rooms. This is when he saw the Friar leave again.

## Langward

- throat was sliced from the back on the chapel steps

- part of the Order of the Fallen Star

- missing his ring from the Order

“A grotesque tableu of agony” - Malevolent part 48

That scene in the church burned so brightly in mind, I had to draw it

RIP Langward, you were the only one who could have probably saved Arthur from the plague

This is a little different from my usual work, but it’s how it looked in my head, so I had to do it justice

And some alternative versions for you

I did already listen to the first part of this when I was on the patreon and all I can remember is thinking outside “oh yay detective time” was “man the ‘shipping Arthur with a group of men’ community is gonna love this one”. You’ve heard of the New York polycule now get ready for medieval England/france polycule. Also someone get this man a doctor

Arthur Lester stop having sexual tension with every man you meet challenge level IMPOSSIBLE

[nukuome]

I uh.. I like Barnabas a normal amount

[lastwheeze]

Something about Arthur learning to be suspicious of everyone and rely only on himself, then relearning how to trust people in Season 4, extending that trust even to Yorick, and then being thrown into a situation where everyone is out to backstab and potentially kill each other, but now he can combine these two important aspects and be whole as a detective once again, just like he used to be a long time ago.

[distorted-prince]

One of my favorite scenes from part 48

[mydirtyvalentine]

these latest episodes of malevolent have been wild but im so glad that amongst the chaos of reactions to part 48 that my entire dashboard agrees that gerard and langward were fucking

[g0g0at]

Barnabas: Oh, lighten up! It’s only death.

Arthur “has died twice” Lester: Ahaha yes! I was just dead last week!
