“Yumi, do you have any idea why Noel would do such a thing? Do you think this is related to the murder?” Lilly gives me a concerned look. I shake my head. I don't think that is the case, or rather, I refuse to believe it is. “Making assumptions is dangerous, Lilly. We should avoid them as best we can.”
To link these two cases would be folly. I'll admit the timing of this case is unfortunate, but I do not believe Noel is the kind of person to stand in our way. He is someone I consider a friend. If he is indeed the culprit of this Fantasia incident, then I wish to know why.
A brief moment passes. It's about time we get back to work. We walk down the corridor from our office and hide behind a wall. The bar is in the basement of our household. From this vantage point we should be able to watch for movements without being detected.
I take my pocket-watch. There is a small time window for us to work with.
