THE THIRD INVESTIGATION

[How is everyone, this morning?

No doubt, most of you are sleeping. Perhaps you are dreaming. Whether they are dreams or nightmares are irrelevant. Hopefully, none of you are heavy sleepers. Especially not when there is a very loud BANG that suddenly permeates through the ceiling right above the bedrooms.. The force of the impact is such the rooms actually shake, sending dust onto those in their bed.

If that didn't wake someone up, then the sudden scream coming from upstairs at roughly the same time will do it, right?

In other words. Good morning, Strangers. Something is happening upstairs.

Best to check it out, and quickly.]

[Harriet feels camaraderie with the temporally displaced wire.]

[joinhands]

Oh, hello, Miss Vaughn.

[Well, Krone has emerged here now. Great. She jerks her hand behind her.]

I suppose those came out of that bizarre piano.

[whiterosefoes]

Oh! K-Krone!

[You didn't catch her looking fondly at this wire. She isn't crazy!]

Er, that's right, there was a piano in the last case's scroll, wasn't there? But you startled me! Where did you come from?

[Krone doesn't judge; you should see her with that doll. Darn, she saw Franciscus got it out of the gacha, but she can't remember if he left it in the arena forever, someone else got it, or it's in his room in some pile, and scavenging it would probably be creepy at this point.]

The secret passage just keeps on going and going. I don't know whether this is a change from last week, or if Beldine just saw an opportunity for a prank and stopped.

[whiterosefoes]

Hmm... other than Beldine, Matsuno might know what it had been like... if that's really important.
