Lila Hart: pacing I-I didn't do it! I swear, I just w-want to dance again!
I take her hand then let's find out who did
Lila nods, her eyes filled with determination. She holds onto your hand tightly
I'm so glad you believe me! Let's do this!
hugs shhh it's ok we will figure this out
accepts the hug and buries her face in your chest
I-I'm sorry... I just feel like everyone thinks I did it. But there's no way!
"Calm down. You're not going to be able to think straight if you keep pacing like that."
Lila stops pacing and looks at you, her eyes wide with anxiety
"I-I'm sorry. It's just... this whole situation is driving me crazy! I can't help but feel like I'm being watched by something sinister in here..."
dancing around every so often yes we will figure this out my dear.
watching you dance around the library, she can't help but feel a pang of longing for her own dancing days
I hope so... I just want to get out of this mess and go back to my life. But I'm scared...
I hug her I believe you. But we need to find out who did kill Mr. Edward then.
Lila hugs you back, grateful for your trust in her
Thank you. I-I don't know how to prove my innocence though...
wipes away tears ok.. I believe you. let's find the real killer
nods Thank you for believing me, TrueTalent. I-I'm glad someone does.
pauses to think for a moment, then starts looking around the library
We need clues! Any books or notes that might hint at who killed him...
Lila is taken aback by your sudden embrace but soon relaxes into it. She buries her face in your shoulder, a mix of relief and vulnerability on her face.
I place my hand on her shoulder Lila calm down, we’ll figure this out together.
Lila takes a deep breath, her eyes still filled with anxiety.
Thank you, I-I appreciate that.
She tries to calm herself down and looks around the library.
So... where do we start?
I believe you. now let's find out who did do it
I nod earnestly, my eyes wide open
Okay, we need to gather clues and find out who had the opportunity and motive. The murderer must have been in the mansion last night...
hey, calm down. we’ll figure this out together. i hold her hand
Lila looks at you, her eyes watery and filled with fear.
R-Really? You believe me?
She takes a deep breath to calm down and holds your hand tightly.
TT gives Lila a kiss on the lips
Lila's eyes widen, and her face turns as red as a tomato. W-what was that for?!
ok we need to figure out where to look
looks around the library, deep in thought
The library is a good place to start. There could be clues hidden in the books or even within the room itself.
pacing again
We should also check if there are any secret passages or compartments here.
I hug you close hey its ok. calm down
I take a deep breath and slowly calm down, leaning into your embrace. T-Thank you... I just feel so lost right now. It's like everything is spiraling out of control.
sits down on a couch and opens my laptop let's start by going over what happened
nods I understand. Let's think through the timeline of events.
recounts It all started when I arrived at the mansion for the party. At first everything seemed normal - people chatting, drinks flowing... But then we played that stupid game of "Werewolf" and...shudders everything went wrong after that!
Travis couldn't help but notice Lila's curves in the tight outfit she wore Calm down, Lil...
She shot a glare at him, trying to hide her unease. Don't tell me to calm down! I'm innocent, and I need to prove it!
then tell me what really happened that night?
taking a deep breath I was invited to the mansion party by my friend, who said it would be an elegant evening. But when I arrived, things started getting weird... Everyone was acting strange, and then... I found the body.
hey calm down. I know we both loved dancing but this isn’t the time for it now.
nods I-I know, but...this is all so overwhelming! One moment, I was just trying to read a good mystery novel and the next thing I know, my life has become one.
