NEIRA
I NEVER THOUGHT that our today's investigation would take us to the heart of the university's girl's dormitory. The air was filled with a mix of curiosity, apprehension, and whispers of speculation. Crystle and I, the dynamic duo—for today—of the Mystery Mavericks, stepped into the dormitory's main lounge, ready to delve into the mysterious death that had shaken the campus.
Buti nalang ka-close ko na si Crystle. Naging close kami ng sobra dahil naging roommate ko siya. Walang hiyaan na magaganap sa imbestigasyon at hindi magiging sagabal ang presensiya naming dalawa dahil komportable na kami sa isa't isa.
As we entered, a hush fell over the room. The girls looked at us with a mixture of curiosity and concern. The news of our arrival had clearly spread quickly, and they were eager for answers.
As we conversed, a figure slowly made her way towards us, drawing our attention. It was evident that she had weathered the passage of time, her graceful presence giving way to a remarkable woman in her late 60s or early 70s. With each step, she emanated an aura of wisdom and experience that only comes with the accumulation of years. This distinguished woman was none other than Mrs. Ramirez, the esteemed dormitory manager, renowned and beloved among residents for her caring nature and firm guidance. Her concerned expression mirrored her dedication to the safety and well-being of the community.
Approaching us, she spoke with a tone laced with both urgency and reassurance, inquiring, "Are you the special investigators that Detective Apollo has sent?"
"Kami nga po." Sagot ko naman.
"Hindi ba't ikaw si Neira? At ikaw naman si Crystle ng room 20?"
Tumango kami bilang sagot.
"Ano'ng ginagawa niyo rito?" Kunot noo niyang tanong. "Bakit kayo ang pinapunta ng detective na 'yon kaysa sa mga pulis?"
"They are different than normal people. They have an ability that no other student in this university can do."
Napatingin kami kung saan nanggaling ang boses.
We saw a young inspector standing beside us. Napakabata ng kanyang itsura, parang ka-edad lang namin. I think she's just in early twenties? Her chestnut brown hair fell in loose waves around her shoulders, framing her delicate features and highlighting the intensity in her hazel eyes. Her complexion was fair, with a hint of a sun-kissed glow that spoke of her active lifestyle. A scattering of freckles across her nose added a touch of youthful charm to her otherwise serious demeanor. There was a strength in her jawline, a subtle hint of determination that made it clear she wouldn't back down from a challenge.
