Meanwhile, in a dorm room at Aethelgard University.
Joy Fischer and Luna Nash were curled up on the sofa, half-watching TV. The noisy background sound made the otherwise empty home feel a little less deserted.
They were both holding their phones, frowning as they stared at the time.
"It's almost the middle of the night. Why isn't Jane back yet?"
"Maybe the weather's bad and there's traffic?"
Luna Nash replied, sounding a little uncertain.
"I don't know how this whole thing is going to get resolved."
"Don't worry. No one can pin something on Julian Grant that he didn't do. But Susan Quinn's death is really strange. She had just left the university, and the next thing you know, she turns up dead. If you told me it wasn't a premeditated murder, I wouldn't believe you."
Luna Nash grumbled, her mouth full of pomelo.
"Her family did some really awful things, sure, but the law should be the one to punish them for that. How could someone just go and kill her in secret?"
