Citizens of Luministi! I come before you today with news of the gravest sort!
[a likely now-familiar dark-haired girl appears on the CATs and vidscreens of every resident, her arms thrown out to her sides in her usual theatrical manner, but her expression is very grim indeed]As you know, our fair town has experienced two maliciously malignant

What a hot-blooded speech from our brave poet-heroine!

[lowering her voice] If you're worried, you shouldn't say this too loudly, but people are telling me they think Doctor Resarci has been doing it. I thought he was a good man!

[Also kind of hushed now:] That's just what I mean! If it's someone you trust doing these things, it makes the plot even more tragic than if it had been some deviant outsider. Nobody wants to learn that kind of thing!
What makes them think it's the doctor, though? I'd think that a doctor wouldn't be so messy.

Doctor Resarci needed their help getting the antidote when poison got out--he couldn't find it himself. And he's been having trouble getting evidence analyzed from the murder scenes. He might be delaying the investigations on purpose.

[Casually;] It would be pretty terrible if he was just distracted and had a murder pegged on him for it. Has anyone asked him what the hold-up is?

I don't know what kind of powers he has, but I'd think that if he could assure that nobody could attack you, he'd do the same for the people you care about like that bartender. Or he'd at least want to do everything he could to keep you from getting upset!
I'd never want my sweet little daughter to get caught up in a murder mystery! At least not unless I knew that she was cut-out for the role of a magical girl detective instead of the star of a nerve-calming or comedic slice of life series!
Well, if I had one, anyway.

But if anything happened to me, Daddy would get so upset he'd find the murderer right away! So nobody would try anything.
But Andre... [sniffs] We can't let more murders like that happen. And if nobody's stopped the murderer yet, that's why we have to step in. See?
