"Do you know what to do?" Cecilia asks. "Not exactly."
"I want you to gather information: know the whos, the whats, the wheres and the whys of why did this murder happened. It's that simple, really. Interrogate and investigate." "I will see what I can do. But how about you?" "I'll just stay with the body for...further investigation."

You start roaming around the living room until you hear something full of shouts and screams on the other room, probably from the room next to the living room where everyone played the games that night. It was getting loud as you reach it and you take a peek.

"How could you be so careless?!" The redhead cries.

"Careless? What do you expect me to do? Be serious and be out of character?" You heard a familiar voice reply-It was definitely that girl who looks a highschool student.

"I know you dislike her but you can't be like that in a time like this. Our friend died." The redhead tries to calm herself down. "You can't be not serious."

"WHAT do you want me to do?!"
"I WANT YOU TO CARE!" After she said it with all her might, The redhead catches her breath.

"Just because I'm not such a crybaby doesn't mean I don't care." Rosia changes her move from attacking to defending. "I was only telling the truth."

"Come talk to me later after you think what you have done."

Scarlia left the room, out of rage.

She sighs, "I'm sorry you had to hear that. I... just want to talk to her but then she snapped at me." "It's fine...I would have done the same. I can't believe she's such a jerk." "She always is. But that's just because she's a teaser. A teaser's language is to tease people because they don't know how to communicate or to hide something." "Wow...! Just from what you said, you could write a book." "It's..what I do. I'm Scarlia Magia also known as Scarlet Law. Because I love justice so much." "Oh... you're that famous writer. I heard you haven't wrote for a long time." She nods her head. "You got a plan to write more?" "I have...but not the courage to do so. Added by my grief from this incident, I might say...I couldn't write anymore.. She's the reason why I write these books..Before we run a theatre. But that's another story. See you later." You nod as you notice your chat with her lets her get off some steam. Even just a little.
Then she flees.

You let yourself in to the other room. Walking through the darkness of the area, no flickering lights around.

"Scarlie, I told yo- Oh, It's you. You must be helping that "detective"." Rosia emphasize on the word 'detective'. It was clear that she doesn't like the authority figure. "Well, I couldn't blame you. You have no choice. That Cecilia might be a detective but I don't trust her one bit. Besides, You saw the maid's reaction. Why would she even call the detective for?"Rosia said from childish to serious. You are convinced that the detective is indeed suspicious. "Fine..."
She force herself to say. "I'll help you. I'll tell you what happened to our dear actress." Rosia joined her hands together and formed a sinister smile, staring at your orbs--This is not gonna end well.

Rosia went on, mocking Shelia. "Oh! Look at me! My name is Shelia Akashiya now. Forget all of my friends and only think of myself and my money. Oh! I need to pay the maid and the chef to be my friends and everyone else so they can love me. You love me? Ahahaha! Too bad, I'm soo greedy." She manages to sound like Shelia that it gives you the feeling to be scared. Even just a little.

"Glug glug glug! Finally being tipsy on my own party that I invite everyone because I'm bored." Which you thought it might be valid.

"I'm gonna upon my stairs. My house looks like a castle. Love me more on how great I am. Ahhh, I'm falling! Ahh, I'm dead." She finished with a dramatic hand motion that shows Shelia fell.

"Woah...How can you do that? Are you also an actress?"
"Depends if I am needed. I'm the manager of the theatre. But that's an another story." Weird, Scarlia also said that.
"That's not what I want you tell though." "It's my alibi, isn't it? On how I wasn't part of the murder?" You nod.
"As you can remember or not.. I am as tipsy as you that night because I don't remember what happened back then." You believe what she said.

"Thank you for your cooperation, I guess." "Sounds like a true detective." She smiles. "See you soon." "Yeah.."

You leave outside the room and walk next to the dining room.
