[b][color=lightblue]"There was a time for emotions, and it was as unnecessary then as it is now. Do you ask me to feel responsible for someone I didn't know? For events I could not have controlled?"[/color][/b] Alto said.

Alto was under the impression a police officer of all people would know when to set aside emotion.

[b][color=lightblue]"It was no simple murder, but neither was it a complex one either,"[/color][/b] Alto began. [b][color=lightblue]"Of course there were more conjectures to be drawn afterward. But none of them have significance or relevance."[/color][/b]

This wasn't a simple murder, and but it wasn't complex. There was only one real conclusion, but there were too many unknowns. This was no locked room murder in an isolated castle in a storm. Of the many hypotheses one could make, many would be less likely than another, but none of them were more likely than the other.

[b][color=lightblue]"Judging by your statements on 'effectiveness'... I would say you would know more about these attacks than I would."[/color][/b] Alto said suggestively. [b][color=lightblue]"We have said time and time again. St. Laurel's Academy bears his name only. I, as Student Council President, can attest to this with absolute certainty. That the attacker was one of our enemies is up for question. There are none of them who would act in such a manner in broad daylight, nor none of them who would have the open willingness to do such a thing."[/color][/b]

[b][color=lightblue]"Now if we're finished, I have much more immediate matters to attend to."[/color][/b]

[b][color=red]"Assistance? I don't think such a thing is necessary,"[/color][/b] Clara said.

She had confidence in her Student Committee, but even if they lost it wouldn't hinder her plans so much.

[b][color=red]"Act at your own discretion. There are enemies here, but they don't need to be yours or mine."[/color][/b]
