First Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nearly two weeks in the Haunted Mansion have passed. Parties were had, friends were made. In fact, maybe you've completely forgotten about the motive looming over all of you. However, as what might be dawn approaches the Mansion, you feel a strange feeling of dread as you wake up. Is it all in your head? There's only one way to find out.

[YAAAAAWN. Guess who slept through everything and just wandered into the kitchen looking for breakfast.]

Ohh, hey guys, are you getting food, too-

[Wait.]

Karolina, why are you on the floor?

[She eventually heads into the kitchen against her better judgement and--]

...She's not doing that because she wants to.

[... Anna is just staring and trying to comprehend this herself. It just. Not now.]

[Star is hurriedly trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes.]

Whaddya mean? Why is everybody just standing around? Why is her bracelet off?

[That's what all the sparklies mean, right?]

[She's...barely holding it in and...starts crying. Since of course Karolina is dead. Why wouldn't she be? Everyone goes away in the end. What have I become, my sweetest friend.

She's going to start crying any second but--]

Someone killed her...!

[Star.exe has encountered an error and needs to restart.

...

.......]

Don't. Don't say that.

[She knows Anna wouldn't joke about something like this, but she doesn't want to believe it, either. Everybody was friends! Nobody was going to hurt anyone else!]

[outsidethecircle]

I don't want to say it.

[She hates this. This is so mean. Why did Karolina have to be so cruel?]
