Lila: Whispers Who the hell do they think did it? They can't seriously suspect us!
a teacher comes up behind them, whispering something in Lila’s ear, before walking away
Lila's eyes widen and she looks at you with a mix of surprise and worry. Lila: Whispers Did you hear that? The teacher just told me some major news about the case...
Why would they? We don’t have any connection to the victim.
Rolls her eyes Yeah, but we were in the building around the time it happened. I mean, anyone could've seen us together, and that's enough to raise suspicion.
shhh.... be quiet. I need to listen
Lila rolls her eyes, but lowers her voice. Ugh, okay, okay. I'll be quiet. But seriously, do you really think they're onto us? I mean, we didn't even know the guy!
They don’t know yet. Let’s keep it that way.
Lila rolls her eyes. "Oh, come on, don't tell me you're actually scared." She flicks your forehead lightly, a smirk on her face. "We've been through worse, remember?"
you put your arm around her shoulder
Lila leans into your touch, feeling a sense of comfort and security. She glances up at you, a mix of worry and determination in her eyes. Lila: Whispers You don't think we're next on their list, do you?
I don’t know, but we need to figure this out before we get caught up in all of this. Let’s start by asking some questions.
Lila nods, her eyes darting around the room. Lila: Right. Good idea. We should start by gathering information. Have you noticed anything strange lately? Any suspicious behavior or conversations?
I don’t know but we should be careful. I whisper back.
Rolls her eyes Careful? Pfft. Don't worry about it. We're fine. She grins mischievously. Besides, I've got my trusty sketchbook for protection.
Yeah… but if we didn’t do it then who did..?
I don't know, but we need to find out. We can't just sit here and watch as people start pointing fingers. She glances around the library, making sure no one is eavesdropping on their conversation.
I don’t know but we need to find out before we get pinned for it.
Nods in agreement You're right. We can't just sit around and wait for the police to figure it out. We need to take matters into our own hands and get to the bottom of this. She looks around the library, making sure no one is eavesdropping on their conversation.
I look at her with confusion as I'm holding my books in my arms as I just came from class. "Suspect us of what?"
Lila rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. "Oh, you know. The murder. It's all anyone's been talking about since it happened. They're looking for suspects, and I'm pretty sure we're high up on their list."
Not me. I have an alibi. I was at my job at the time of the murder.
Oh, so you're completely innocent then? That's a relief. But don't you think it's a bit suspicious that you were working at the time of the murder? You know what people are like, they love a good scapegoat.
I know right. It’s like they want us to take the fall. But why? What do we have to do with it?
Rolls her eyes They're probably just looking for any excuse to pin this on someone, and unfortunately, we happen to be the most suspicious ones here. But trust me, there's no way I'm letting them frame us for something we didn't do.
