*Part 3: Dead Writer*

*Scene 1: Unmasking the Truth (8:20)*

(The smoke clears, revealing the Mystery Shadow Group.)

_Edwin_: "Your plan? Running a criminal sanctuary?"

_Janeshwa_: "You're out of your mind! This is an orphanage!"

_Nitya_: "Wait, Janeshwa. We must ask, who is the girl?"

_Tito_: "Her true identity."

_Edwin_: "Viola, a citizen of Eleanor. But unlike us, saviors, she's a brutal serial killer."

_Clarke_: "Janeshwa, your idea would have led us to death."

_Edwin_: "Amy, Rahul, search the upper staircases and rooms. We can't rule out bombs."

*Scene 2: Outer Examination and Internal Concerns (8:35)*

(Edwin dispatches Robin for outer surveillance.)

_Edwin_: "Robin, check for any hidden dangers outside."

_Robin_: "Got it, sir."

(Amy and Rahul search the Home, while the staff discusses.)

_Tito_: "This changes everything. We can't trust anyone."

_Afrah_: "But why would Viola target us?"

_Nitya_: "Maybe our scriptwriting project is more sensitive than we thought."

_Janeshwa_: "I still can't believe we almost recruited a serial killer."

_Clarke_: (quietly) "This is what happens when we rush."

(Meanwhile, Edwin confers with Amy and Rahul.)

_Edwin_: "Any signs of Viola's accomplices?"

_Amy_: "None so far, sir."

_Rahul_: "But we found a hidden camera in the hallway."

_Edwin_: "Bag it as evidence."

(Robin returns, urgency in his voice.)

_Robin_: "Sir, I've found a dead body! Please arrive here!"

*Scene 3: Grisly Discovery (8:40)*

(The group and staff converge on a bushy spot.)

_Janeshwa_: (stunned) "Oh God..."

(A hand lies beneath Janeshwa's feet. The group discovers a naked, mutilated body.)

_Edwin_: (retrieving the ID card) "Sarah Joseph, university student."

_Clarke_: (collapsing) "NOOO! Sarah..."

_Edwin_: "Robin, pull him aside. It's not worth feeling now. She's gone."

_Rahul_: "This murder bears Viola's signature – the violet flower beside her head. And the body's partial decay suggests yesterday's murder."

_Janeshwa_: "Viola impersonated Sarah."

_Edwin_: "My team will track down Viola. Your priority, Janeshwa, remains finding a reliable scriptwriter."

_Janeshwa_: (resolute) "I'll proceed with caution. This project's importance just escalated."

As Clarke mourns, the group shares somber glances.

Their quest for truth and justice has only just begun.
