16 ultimate students went missing. Nobody knows what happened to them. It's rumoured there was a killing game, but there's been no confirmation from the police.
...is my brother safe?

We decide to head back to the garden. We saw Anna looking behind the shed where Lydia's body was.
There was a large amount of blue hair on the floor which most likely belonged to Lydia. There were also marks on the back of the shed wall. Milo looked at them "This is clearly where the struggle took place..."
I looked at him "Do you have any ideas on what happened?" I asked. He nodded "Well, I think our killer had a struggle with Opal, and then somewhere along the way Lydia ended up at the scene. Although this is just speculation, and nothing explains Lydia's memory loss."
Right...
I walked back to the front of the shed and saw Phillip asking Mary something. "Hey, Mary, how does the Body Discovery Announcement work? Like... How does it trigger?" He asked. Mary sighed "It's easy to tell who's researched and who hasn't in this group... Well, to answer your question, when three innocents find the body, the announcement is triggered." Phillip perked up at this "Ooh... So by that logic, me, Milo and Nico are innocent!"
"...if our killer played the game that way, then yes."
Phillip smiled, and headed over to me "Did you hear that? We're innocent! You should keep that in mind!" After a short silence, I asked "So... How's Lydia?"
Phillip hesitated "Bad. She doesn't remember anything..." He then pulled something out of her pocket

"...but this might be our explanation."
I looked at it "What's that? And where did you find it..?" I asked. "Lydia gave it to me." Phillip replied "She found it in her pocket and had no idea what it was. But.. I think I have an idea."
There was a pause, then Phillip continued "I've seen these before. Zoe used them for hypnotism. But these are a modern version and Zoe always does things old fashioned... Anway, this type was often used to make the one under their spell gain memory loss. Some versions of it are more extreme than others... But they normally show details like that on the back... Aha!"

"One sway, one hour. That means, if they swing it in front of your face once, you'll forget an hour."
The concept was interesting. But it didn't make the murder easier "But... Why remove her memory?"
Phillip paused "...I hate to be guilty of thinking this... But let's just say you can use this little contraption on yourself."
Huh?
He put the small thing back in his pocket and smiled "Anyway, should we move onto the shed?"
