First someone gets killed and a crazy riot breaks loose. Now we're being accused of murder? You've got to be kidding me. I don't know that lady very well, but she must be out of her mind to think we would do something like that. I mean we're stuck here. If anything these houses know how to get us out of here

I have a nagging suspicion that Caesura herself is the killer. It makes sense, isn't it? She killed Siciliana, and then she rise to the leader position. The punchline to the joke is that she accused the Libretto, us, for the murder none of us commit, because she disliked our presence ever since the beginning. [ Pause, catching breath. ] What do you think?

Actually me too. I don't trust her. She acts as though just because we're outsiders that we did something to offend them.

I don't doubt it, but we don't have anything to pin it off on her though, that's the problem.

The outsiders part is what offends them the most. We don't belong here, Anise.

That's the missing piece we need, unfortunately. And there's no way we can obtain it.

Yeah, okay you're right. I know we don't, but it's not like we asked to be here either right?

Let's try to get some dirt on her. I'm serious. Of course, there's a way. We can't just say there isn't.

I don't like it either, but I'm afraid that we can't do much to change her mind.

Her accusation is likely meant to divide the Libretto by sowing suspicion among us rather than an actual charge based upon evidence. Whether that makes her more suspicious or not is yet to be determined.

Whatever the case may be, it's not a time to be wandering about on your own. We should band together until this mess is cleaned up.

I guess that means we have to keep an eye on her more often don't we, Colonel? But we don't know anything about that House either.

You're right as always Colonel. Sure, where should we meet up?

I'll be at the Lyre Bookhouse shortly. Can you meet me there?

[Voice | filtered]

[childishanise]

I'll be right over.

I can't believe this Caesura actually thinks the Libretto murdered Siciliana. I can't say that it's impossible, but it doesn't seem like any of us knew about it until the Harmony got louder and the riots started.

She seems more suspicious to me. It sounds like she wasn't happy with the way House Madrigal operated, and wanted to change it. What would we get from killing Siciliana?

Still, I guess we'd better meet up, Anise. It seems like Caesura might send soldiers after the Libretto if she can't get a scapegoat. Do you know anywhere in the city that we could meet?

I know right? But it's so like this place to do this. After all we're outsiders, aren't we? Why not keep their name clean and blame it on the outsiders that knew almost nothing? Then again, you're right Guy, it's not impossible that someone among us did it either.

As I have been told, probably temporary powers of the Maestro. Though, that woman, she might just be the one that did it for power. We don't know because we can't even look at the body.

We should. I have no doubt that she would do just that too. The Colonel said the Bookhouse? Think you can get there?

[Voice]

[seshiru]

The powers of the Maestro? So her claim isn't completely groundless, then. Still, I don't really like the idea of turning someone over to her, especially if there's no real evidence.

I haven't been to the Bookhouse, but I think I can find my way if I can find a map. The Tones wouldn't happen to have one, would they?
