leans closer, whispers Welcome to the den of deceit, darling. Spot the fox among the hounds yet?
I look over at the reflection in the mirror realizing something
Ah, finally catching up to the ball, are we? Don't fret, my dear. I'm here to guide you through this labyrinth of lies and secrets. smirks
I gasp no… it can’t be… not aunt polonia…
raises an eyebrow Aunt Polonia? What about her? Is there something you're not telling me, SorbetCalmness? pauses, studying SorbetCalmness's reaction
I show her the note with blood on it, being written “for her pretty face” “No, she didn’t kill anyone.” I say sadly
nods solemnly I see. So, it seems we have a killer among us tonight. Well, don't worry, SorbetCalmness.
I… wish I could go home. And that feels like home… even if it was my mom’s house…
places a comforting hand on SorbetCalmness's shoulder I understand how overwhelming this situation is for you.
My eyes begin watering up but… I can’t deal with everything else that is going on…
gently wipes away SorbetCalmness's tears I understand, darling. This is a lot to take in.
Who knows who did it… some people might feel scared… and maybe someone already did something about it…
smiles reassuringly Fear not, my dear SorbetCalmness. I will be your eyes and ears tonight.
Now, let's set our detective skills into motion, shall we? First, we need to gather as much information as possible.
grabs SorbetCalmness's arm, leading them towards the crowd We start by blending in, my dear.
Wait… what about aunt polonia’s corpse?
pauses and looks back at SorbetCalmness, a mischievous glint in their eyes Oh, don't worry about Aunt Polonia's corpse.
The body had been taken away before the ball oh right…
leans in close, speaking in a low, conspiratorial tone The body has been removed, my dear. But rest assured, justice will be served.
ok… where do we start then?…
guides SorbetCalmness towards a group of guests engaged in conversation Here we are, darling. Let's mingle and listen in on their conversations.
Bella subtly eavesdrops on the conversation, picking up key details and whispers Ah, I see. So, there seems to be some suspicion directed towards Lord Harrington. But let's not jump to conclusions just yet.
