The officer replied, "We've conducted a thorough inspection of your property. Based on the investigation, it appears the incident was purely accidental, caused by an electrical short circuit. We found no evidence of foul play or intentional damage."
Alaric listened closely to every word. Relief crept in upon hearing the explanation from the authorities. Still, there was a lingering unease inside him. Whether it was instinct or just the accumulation of recent strange events, he couldn't quite shake it off.

The officer smiled in response. "If you have any further concerns or questions, don't hesitate to return. Everything has been documented."
