“Are you...? Oh, my god, you’re serious.”[/color]

Rachel couldn’t sit up fast, her stomach still unsettled from this morning, only sinking further with the accusation. [color=mediumpurple]”I’m trying to proclaim my innocence because if I sit here quietly, it’s going to be, ‘oh, Rachel, you’re awfully quiet, what are you trying to hide? Why didn’t you tell us you were innocent before?’ You want to know why I think it’s Reika? Because the ones who act unhinged like her usually are. She’s made it clear to everyone here that she thinks she should be in charge in Federica’s absence. If she’s in charge of the investigation, she can conclude whatever the hell she wants, including that it’s not her even if it is. She’s always hated Alice, who better to get rid of for when she crowns herself queen?”[/color]

She threw herself back into her chair with a huff, shooting Leo a hard stare. [color=mediumpurple]”Good luck with your rat problem, [i]caro mio[/i].”[/color]
