...is my brother safe?
TW: Death, violence, suicide, hallucinations, swearing, blood, s...
We all stood around the podiums again. Oddly enough, everyone's eyes were on Lydia
Milo Plains:
"...are we gonna address the elephant in the room?"
Anna Bones:
"We just started! Give us some time fire boy."
Thomas Dean:
"Would you mind me asking what you're referring to, Milo?"
Milo Plains:
"I'm talking about Lydia."
Lydia Jones:
"W-What?"
Nico Ular:
"Um... What Milo means is, you were clearly attacked. Meaning one way or another you were at the crime scene."
Phillip Cooper:
"But... Lydia's memories were tampered with. So even if she was at the scene she probably won't remember anything."
Anna Bones:
"Oooh! I think I know what happened!"
Selina Blithers:
"After what you did the other day, I don't think anyone will see your ideas as valid."
Anna Bones:
"Ironic, coming from a Blithers."
Selina Blithers:
"..."
Selina seemed annoyed. It was worrying but I'd have to put it aside
Joseph Gulls:
"Hey, we shouldn't be thinking like that. Everyone's ideas are worth listening to, even if they may be wrong."
Anna Bones:
"Exactly! So, here's how I think it went! Our killer lead Opal to the garden, then stabbed her with their sword! But Lydia witnessed the crime so the killer knocked her out!"
Phillip Cooper:
"That sounds pretty likely..."
Katherine Lisle:
"But... Why not just kill her?"
Selina Blithers:
"That's what I've been wondering. You lot probably wouldn't know this, but normally every third murder is a double murder, so there are two victims... Or two killers... But I'm pretty certain that was a one off."
Mathew Kimly:
"Maybe the killer thought she was dead?"
Lydia Jones:
"Wait... I don't think thats the case..."
Anna Bones:
"Huh?"
Lydia Jones:
"...we need to discuss."
- NON STOP DEBATE -
Phillip Cooper:
"Um Lydia... Are you sure you have anything we can use? You do have memory loss after all..."
Lydia Jones:
"...I'm certain."
Milo Plains:
"Well spit it out!"
Lydia Jones:
"The killer could've killed me without leaving bruises!"

Nico Ular:
"Lydia's right. The culprit had no reason to use force because they had the sword."
Phillip Cooper:
"But... what if Lydia defended herself? So the culprit ended up harming them without the sword..."
Nico Ular:
"That could be the case, but it's much more likely that the culprit would want to kill her immediately and stabbing would be easy."
Milo Plains:
"The killer would have to be an idiot not to notice that."
Thomas Dean:
"Aha! So by that logic, the killer intended to knock Lydia out."
Joseph Gulls:
"Hang on guys..."
Anna Bones:
"Hm?"
Joseph Gulls:
"Well... Let's think about this for a second. If we're right in assuming there was a struggle, then Opal had no weapon. Therefore she'd have to use her fists..."
Katherine Lisle:
"H-Huh? What are you getting at?"
Joseph Gulls:
"Well... If Opal used her fists, then the killer would most likely get a couple of bruises. Do you understand what I mean?"
