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.]

[She looks up.]

Yes...?

[At least she's saying words now.]

[there's that...

he tries to smile at her, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes]

You okay? Wanna get some air? [or clean up before the trial]

[hexposition]

[She understands that it doesn't. She can't even force the smile, although it looks almost like she tries for a second.]

...Y-yes, that's... probably a good idea. I should... probably get changed...

[relieable]

[great. he'll get Emma out of the library so that the others can continue looking around. he stands up, offering her his hand]

Yeah, might be a good idea.

[hexposition]

[She shakes her head no. She's shaky, but she gets herself to her feet.]

You... I don't need to get more blood on you. Thank you, though.

[relieable]

[AH. right. her hands are.......

well, he will just tuck his own hands into his pockets and nod to her. then they will get out of the library for now]
