Charles went home earlier than expected after Elaine’s passing. The complex seems to be in a frenzy about the news. Everyone is whispering about the event in the hallways. Meanwhile, Mom has been eyeing me, so I have retreated to my room to finish my homework when my phone goes off.

Oh, this one is interesting. It’s from the Traditionalist Times:

He’s not very smart, is he? Is he really even a detective? He just relies on brute strength and menace that might work for most things. But for breaking into a computer and solving riddles. How was this supposed to be the person who wanted to use the Pen themselves? What was he going to do, wave it around intimidatingly?

He has no goals of his own and he wants to take the Pen from me, that’s laughable. But it’s kind of fun to make him look even stupider, when a seventeen-year-old is smarter than a man in his mid-forties.

Don’t Forget

Judging from the articles the Traditionalist write about Florian. The way they slander him and try to tarnish his reputation. It’s a double-blind!
