The mist lifts as I enter elegantly into the now ballroom that was transformed from a gym. 4 years ago a murder occurred in the hall at midnight. If only I had interfered she would still be alive. I guess it couldn't be helped. Years later, I reopen that case and I will bring justice to Jane.

"Renata Addison, it's like only yesterday I saw... You've gotten beautiful! Mostly likely to be writer, right?"

"Jake, I'm not a writer. But I did start following your account only recently. I see you're a judo master and you've gotten a bit more muscles"

He lets out an unconfirmed chuckle and slushes the drink around before glaring me straight in the eye. Was he there that night when she died? Shaking my head I only hear half of Jake says.

"You flatter me, Renata but I'm with that girl over there," he announces. If suspicions are correct, that must be his girlfriend. I need to clear this up.

Clearing my throat which is already clear, "Is she your-"

"No, it's my cousin from Germany and she only arrived last week. I'm assigned as her escort" he declares as he gulps the whiskey in one go. Guess that does it and I better get around to the other former students around here. A cousin from Germany, huh? Going to her and asking would make me... For Jake, it would mean that I'm just doing this to make him look bad. I'll get around to it soon enough.

"see you later, Jake and your German cousin"
