In any event.
Betrayal truly was a… shady business.
As usual, this was of course, literally. Judas had been spending a lot more time indoors, and staying awake later and later at night, in order to better 'settle' into his new role - and it was clear that the drain on his health and wellbeing was taking its toll…
Even so.
As Judas read through the file for a while, the picture became increasingly clear.
This 'Special Investigation'… was primarily one based on… fear.
Apparently, Carmen Composéd was… good at what she did.
Too good.
Apparently, she was very Observant.
Too Observant.
And now, apparently… she was also getting… Curious…
Too Curious.
And so. At Last.
Before things got too… Fast, and too… Furious ✨👀🫢 as well…
Fatteus had been motivated - some might even say… 'driven' - to quell and dispel this potential 'threat', so that, in the words of the 'Special Investigation File', the "goals of the InterPolitzia" - [aka his own personal needs] could continue to be met!
At this point, we get a nice close-up of some of the scattered photos and text, which conveniently allows the esteemed readers - especially thanks to their recently unlocked "slow-mo replay function" - to follow along and gain more information and clues, as to what might happen next!?!?

"…Carmen Composéd, a young and promising candidate for "Breakout Investigator of the Year", has risen rapidly through the ranks…"
*An image of Carmen later saying "Thanks" and receiving her award - yet another accolade to her stellar Special Investigations track record…*
'What kind of… Secrets, did Fatteus want to keep hidden?
'That had caused him, seemingly unbidden, to consider Carmen a danger, a seemingly potential game changer?!'
