Once the group returned to the cottage, they left Lean in Mordred’s care while everyone else took over a room. Occupying it were Huey, Cecilia, and Jade, who had met up with them on the way back. Oscar and Dante hadn’t returned yet.

When Gilbert rejoined them, all three were uncharacteristically quiet. After looking at each of their faces in turn, he sat down in a chair. “After Lean, we found the security guards. They were all just unconscious. Their memories of getting knocked out are fuzzy, and they didn’t see whoever did it.”

“So you’re saying we don’t know who did that to Lean,” Jade commented.

“Yes, essentially,” Gilbert agreed with a nod. Then he went on. “All we can do now is ask Lean what happened, but considering trained guards can’t remember anything, the chances she will are fairly—”

“We don’t need to do that, do we?” interrupted Huey, breaking his silence up until that point. He lifted his head and stared straight at Cecilia. “Isn’t it obvious that she did it?”

“What? Me?” Cecilia squeaked, caught off guard by this turn of events. The other two looked equally surprised, eyes wide with bewilderment.

“But why would she do it?” asked Jade, utterly perplexed.

“I mean, it has to be her, right? Otherwise, how would she have guessed exactly where Lean was? There were tons of other sketchy-looking areas out in that direction! And she didn’t even need to hide Lean in a cave anyway. She could’ve just left her in the woods.”

“I—I…”

“Back when she told us she knew where Lean had been taken, I was so frantic that I just believed her. But when I thought more about it, I realized how suspicious it was. How could she possibly have guessed Lean’s exact location?”

Cecilia instinctively shrank away.

“And you just conveniently happened to not be around when she disappeared. You could’ve led her away without anyone suspecting a thing. And since you were staying in the same room, all you had to do was leave the window open.”

“Um.”

“Whatever you have to say for yourself, go ahead and say it!”

Cecilia’s eyes darted all around. She was completely rattled.

Things were headed in a bad direction. An awful one. This happened time and time again in the game. It was good that Oscar wasn’t here, too, because if he was, all the criteria for her death sentence would be checked off.

I—I need to think of an excuse! Anything!

But what could she say for herself? It was memories of her past life that had led her to guess Lean was in the grotto. Even if she did confess to that, though, he definitely wouldn’t accept it. In all likelihood, he wouldn’t even believe her.

But the longer I go without saying anything, the more suspicious it looks! I have to blurt something out!

“Um, so actually—”

The instant she piped up, the door to the room opened, and the person she least wanted to see walked in.

“We’re back,” said Oscar.

“It’s done!” Dante sighed.

Cecilia inhaled sharply. What do I do now?

Now all the elements for her execution had fallen into place.
