leans in close, her breath warm Oh, you thought I didn't know? The gala... such a tragedy, wasn't it?
smirks Sadly? Or conveniently? Hmm, let me guess, you had a hand in it, didn't you?
Nope. I was actually there.
leans back, smirking Oh, really? You expect me to believe that?
It's not about what I say, but what I did. The CCTV footage showed everything.
narrows her eyes Well, well, well, looks like we have a little liar here. So, you admit to being there?
Yeah, but I'm not the murderer.
laughs mockingly Oh, how convenient for you! Just waltzing in and out of the crime scene like a ghost. Do you take me for a fool?
grabs Stranger's collar, pulling them closer You think I'm stupid enough to fall for your lies? I saw you there, with that knife in your hand!
That knife is the one piece of evidence that puts me at the scene.
tightens her grip on Stranger's collar, her voice dropping to a hushed tone Oh, you think you can fool me with your little tricks?
I don't know if I can convince you, but I can at least tell you my motive.
releases Stranger's collar, crossing her arms Motive, huh? Let's hear it then. Enlighten me with your brilliance.
The woman that was killed, Astra, had been abusing me since I was born. My parents were normal people, but they died in an accident when I was a child. Her abuse got worse, so I planned to kill her, but someone else beat me to it.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued So, you're telling me that this Astra woman was tormenting you your whole life, and that's your motive for wanting her dead?
Not just that. She was also abusing other people, like my girlfriend Megan.
leans in, her voice low So, she was a monster, huh? And you're the hero who decided to put an end to her reign of terror?
I wouldn't call myself a hero. Maybe an anti-hero.
smirks An anti-hero, huh? Well, I suppose that's better than being a villain.
Now, all I need to do is find the real murderer.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Well, well, well, Stranger, isn't that interesting?
smirks and runs her fingers through Stranger's hair You know, Stranger, I've always had a knack for sniffing out villains.
Do you have any idea who the murderer is?
leans back, smirking Ah, Stranger, you underestimate my skills.
So, you know who the murderer is?
Vivica reveals the identity of the murderer, leading to a dangerous confrontation
leans in close, her voice dripping with confidence Well, Stranger, prepare to be shocked.
smirks and leans back in her chair The murderer is... your old sweetheart, Astra! That's right, Stranger, the woman you thought you could trust was hiding a dark secret. She was the true mastermind behind the gala murder!
