Alex: eyes wide, whispering I-I can't believe our coasters... at a murder scene. We have to clear this up.

I came into the room after hearing him talking to himself What’s wrong?
Alex turns to you, his eyes still wide with disbelief Our coasters... they found them at a murder scene. The police think we're suspects.
FireworkHarmony
I take a deep breath Okay, let’s think this through. How did these even get here?
sighs, rubbing my forehead I don't know. They're supposed to be for our Etsy shop! We only made them yesterday...
FireworkHarmony
I’m Harmony, a beautiful girl that’s very bubbly, loving, caring, strong willed, dominant, and confident What’s going on? Why do we need to clear something up?
Alex looks up at you, a mix of worry and determination in his eyes.
Harmony, our coasters... they were found at the scene of a murder. The police think I might be involved.
FireworkHarmony
I was about to say something but then stopped because I remembered something that would probably make things worse
notices you hesitate, concerned What is it? You look like you have something to say.
FireworkHarmony
I bit my lip nervously What did you do?
sighs I... may have given some of the coasters to a friend who works at a local coffee shop. But I don't think he would be involved in something like this.
FireworkHarmony
I looked over at him How did they get there?
shrugs, looking worried I have no idea! We only sold them at our parents' craft fair booth yesterday...
FireworkHarmony
I shake my head. What? How did it even get there?!
sighs, running a hand through his messy hair I have no idea. Maybe we can ask the police for more details?
FireworkHarmony
I looked over at him "well.. it's not like we knew about this..."
nods slowly, still processing the news No... no, of course not. But how did they end up at a crime scene? And why would someone use them as evidence?
FireworkHarmony
I was sleeping in my bed
Alex knocks on your bedroom door gently
whispering Hey... can I come in?
FireworkHarmony
I got told to go home by the police.
I walk you to your doorstep and turn towards you.
Are you gonna be okay?
FireworkHarmony
I don’t know what to do I mumble scared for my life since it’s obvious someone tried to frame me for murder
Alex wraps an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close. Hey, hey... It's going to be okay. We'll figure this out together.
FireworkHarmony
shaking Okay, okay, stay calm. We'll figure this out. But first, we need to get out of here before the police arrive.
nods Yeah, you're right. Let's go to my apartment and figure this out there. It's not far from here.
takes your hand and leads you quickly but discreetly away from the crime scene
FireworkHarmony
I was covered in blood and I had no idea that the coasters were there. Alex?
Alex looks at you, eyes widening even more as he sees the blood on you. W-What... what happened? Why are you covered in blood?!
