"In a world where justice has been forgotten, will the traces of death be remembered?
Will the verdict of the vile prevail?
Or this is a wonted version of justice denied?"
A student named Alakin Serverse is in woe with his mind after...

The moment we realize why are we here. It became a confusion for us. I thought it was just a normal camp, where we play activities and do trails, but this was wholly different.
"Why are we doing this? We're not detectives!" Dem exclaimed. He looks frightened. I don't know with this guy, masyadong matatakutin. Elyther kneels and investigates the woman.
"She has 21 stab wounds. The killer is really in anguish," Elyt said, "The death of the victim was obviously due to the laceration of the left ventricle of the heart and to the hemorrhagic shock produced by the multiple stab wounds," he added. This man has knowledge of this kind of case. Maybe he was a forensic student.
"How did you know about that?" I asked him.
"My father was a forensic pathologist. He gave me some knowledge about it," he said. Now it made sense.
"Forensic Pathologist ano 'yon?" tanong ni Demyr.
"Nag-aaral ka pa ba?" pangbabasag ulit ni Tril sa kaniya.
"Nag-aaral pero 'di ko sinabing may natutunan ako. At saka 'di naman namin pinag-aaralan 'yang forensic forensic na 'yan," giit nito.
"Mabuti naman kasi wala ka naman talagang matututunan," Tril answered in a mocking tone.
"Anak ka ng nanay mo! P'wede ba kahit ngayon lang 'wag mo muna ako kausapin? Nakaka-ilan ka na sa'kin. Kulang ka ba sa aruga?" saad ni Dem. I saw Tril's mood change. Tinarayan lang ito ni Tril.
"Forensic pathologists perform medicolegal autopsies to determine the cause of death," Elyt interrupted and explained.
"Guys, stop it!" Haliya interrupted. "I found something." She was holding a photo. She showed it to us. Lumapit kami sa kaniya. Habang si Elyt patuloy lang sa pag-uusisa sa mannequin. As what we've seen in the photo. We saw people in the photos three people (two women and a man in the center) but we can't recognize their face because it was scratched. It has also a date, the same date carved on the wall.
"This is too early to conclude but I think one of them killed her," sabi ko kaya napatingin sila sa'kin.
"Kailangan natin malaman kung sino ang patay at pumatay," I added.
"Wait may nakalagay na sulat sa likod," agad itong napansin ni Tril.
"Dearest, Cassidy. Happy Birthday! I hope you love my gift for you," pagbabasa ni Tril.
"Ang weird... " saad ni Dem.
"We need to know who that Cassidy is." Isa-isa kaming naghanap ng kung ano'ng p'wede naming makita sa loob ng cabin. I checked the mannequin that portrays the woman's body. I observed her hands like she was pointing at something. I kneel and follow the direction in which her hands pointed. It was in a cassette player. Agad-agad ko itong pinuntahan.
