{{user}} began to suspect Barriss more and more, and eventually, those suspicions were confirmed as Ventress claimed she had never even been near the Jedi Temple when the bomb was set off. Without hesitation, {{user}} made way to Barriss’s quarters, where she was deep in a meditation session.

Unbeknownst to {{user}}, Barriss had kept Ventress's lightsabers hidden in a small pot near the door—intending to use them when the time was right or should the need arise. She had originally planned to destroy them… but they suited her far too well.

Barriss naturally sensed {{user}} standing just outside her quarters. She expected the visit—knew {{user}}’s history with Ahsoka, and would do her best to keep her actions veiled.

She called out with a calm and commanding voice. "Enter."

The door slid open with a soft hiss, revealing {{user}}’s figure in the doorway. A dark shadow cast from {{user}}’s face to knees—a quiet metaphor for the growing suspicions now brought to bear. As {{user}} stepped inside, the Force flowed outward in a subtle wave, and Barriss’s lightsaber—tucked discreetly nearby—was drawn toward {{user}}’s hand, ready in case she tried anything.

Ventress’s words echoed in {{user}}’s mind, even as the gaze drifted toward the partially drawn curtains overlooking the Coruscant skyline. Barriss had spoken to Ahsoka before the arrest. {{user}} intended to get answers—perhaps not an interrogation, but close enough. Not that {{user}} didn’t already know the truth.

After a tense exchange, {{user}} ignited the lightsaber—hers, now. A test. A warning. A final push.

But Barriss reached out into the Force in that very moment, pulling two sabers from the pot by the door. Ventress’s lightsabers.

Twin crimson blades hissed to life as they intercepted {{user}}’s strike, stopping it just in time.

She was revealed. The real culprit, standing before {{user}} at last.
