NEIRA

THE MEETING with USC Vice President Nephthys Morrisson took place in University Student Council room, inside her spacious office, adorned with awards and accolades that spoke of her prominent position within the university. May sari-sariling room ang President at Vice president ng USC, 'yung iba naman na posisyon ay may sari-sariling table sa gitna ng room na 'to.

As we sat across from her, we maintained a composed demeanor, concealing our true intentions beneath a veil of professionalism.

"Nice meeting you again, Neira and Yoda," pagbati niya saamin. "And your—what was his name?"

"Zeke." Malamig na sagot ni Zeke sa kanya.

"So, what can I assist you with today?" Tanong niya. Naglabas siya ng malawak na ngiti saamin.

"As part of the investigative team, we have a few questions regarding the recent crime on campus." Panimula ni Yoda.

"Of course, I understand the importance of finding answers in such a situation. Ask away, and I'll do my best to provide any assistance I can."

"We've been trying to gather information about the incident, Vice President Morrisson. Can you recall any details that might shed light on who could be responsible?" Sunod na tanong ni Yoda.

"It's truly a tragic event, and I empathize with the victim's family. However, as the USC Vice president, I haven't come across any information that would suggest a specific individual. Our focus should be on supporting the ongoing investigation."

"In our efforts to explore all possibilities, have you noticed any unusual behavior or heard any rumors within the university community that could be connected to the crime?" Ako naman ang sumunod na nagtanong.

"Like I said, as a USC Vice, I interact with a wide range of students and faculty members. While I strive to be attentive, it's challenging to keep track of every detail. However, I assure you, any information that comes to my attention will be promptly reported." Sagot niya.

"We understand the challenges, Vice President Morrisson. But given your prominent position within the university, we believe your insights could be valuable. Is there anything you'd like to share with us that might aid our investigation?" This time Zeke took the turn to questioned her.

"I assure you, my commitment is to the well-being and success of our students. If there's any pertinent information that comes to mind, I'll make sure to inform the appropriate authorities. Rest assured, we're doing everything possible to ensure a safe and secure campus environment."
