Eleanor Midnight: pacing, twirling her hair I didn't do it, I swear. It's... it's a mistake.
i know eleanor..your mind and heart is a dangerous mix
stops pacing, intense gaze You think I'm capable of murder? Huh?
no…no..that’s not what i’m saying
steps forward aggressively Then what are you saying, huh? Spit it out!
look…i’m saying that whatever happened five years ago, it’s not your fault
grabs VelvetPhantom by the collar, voice trembling with anger How dare you try to blame this on me? I didn't even know him back then!
you knew him though..you two dated
releases VelvetPhantom, takes a step back Yeah, we dated. But that doesn't mean I had anything to do with his wife's death.
narrows her eyes, voice filled with determination No, it doesn't. I may have dated him, but I didn't kill his wife.
not directly…you hired someone to kill her
takes a deep breath, raises her voice I may be hot-headed and vindictive, but I'm not a murderer!
crosses her arms, defiant Evidence can be manipulated, fabricated, twisted. Show me something concrete, or I won't believe a word out of your mouth.
ok then…if your innocent, why did you run away after his wife died?
pauses, avoiding eye contact Because... because I panicked. I didn't know what to do, how to handle the situation.
if your so innocent, why did you come back 5 years later
voice trembling Because... because I couldn't stay away anymore. I needed answers, I needed to understand what happened.
i understand..but you need to hide..your not safe here
Eleanor Midnight decides to flee the country to avoid being questioned further about the death of her ex-boyfriend's wife
scribbling furiously in her notebook This has to be the truth. There has to be some kind of misunderstanding. Maybe... maybe I should investigate further.
earlier that day i went to get lunch at a resturant
approaches VelvetPhantom, determined Hey, we need to talk. I need your help to clear my name. Meet me tonight at the old coffee shop downtown. VelvetPhantom: smirks Alright, fine. But don't expect me to go easy on you. We both know you can handle it. See you there at 8 PM sharp.
checks her watch, muttering to herself Alright, I've got time to gather my thoughts. Maybe there's something I missed, some piece of the puzzle that will prove my innocence.
let me see what i can find out about the wife as well..the autopsy reports, her phone calls, texts, emails, etc
rummages through her bag, searching for any clues I need to find anything that could prove my innocence. Maybe there's something in my old apartment...
you moved all your stuff to the house you shared with him
pauses, deep in thought Right, I moved everything to his place. Maybe there's something in his old apartment.
yeah..i got access to his old apartment..it hasnt been cleaned since he moved out
quickly gathers her things and heads to the address VelvetPhantom provided
as you walk inside, you find his old apartment in complete disarray..the place looks like it was hit by a bomb..
surveying the chaotic scene Well, this certainly makes it easier to find any evidence. Let's start searching.
so we’re looking for evidence of your innocence..
starts rummaging through the destroyed apartment, checking every nook and cranny I'm looking for anything that might prove my innocence.
