From what you can see, all the lights in the opera house are turned on. Only when you enter and see the open doors that lead into the main theater, you can see that room's lights are currently turned off. It's very dark in there.

Like before, Rembrandt escorts everybody to the stage. In the dark you still can see the many blue-eyed things you may be getting used to. They're still very scared of Rembrandt, staying as far away from the assistant as possible. The stage is illuminated by the spotlights, the only light in this theater.

The Lady and Rembrandt are at their balcony. She stands up, addressing the group:

"This time we don't need any introductions, do we? Let's make this an interesting trial, just like last week. Give me a name! Who is the killer this time?"

Short and sweet. Will the Lady give you that offer later? Only time will tell.

Let the trial for the death of Lysithea von Ordelia begin.

[OOC NOTE: From the halfway point of the trial and onwards, you'll have the option to ask the masterminds for the chance to get a hint! Be warned, though: the price will involve some body horror for your character. Keep that in mind when deciding to use this option!]

If we assume the killer ripped it out, then it means there was something identifying them on that page. Maybe the notebook belonged to them or maybe they went with her for a previous test.

[reanbeans]

...And if they went with her on a previous test, it wouldn't be too strange to assume that they could've gone with her on this one as well.

[deadlygoals]

So she may have trusted them or didn't think anything would happen if it's the morning after.

[psychophant]

If that's the case, then why didn't they just take the notebook?

[inordertobelieve]

It's possible she simply discarded the paper herself earlier, for unrelated reasons, as unsatisfying as that is.

[psychophant]

Precisely, we can't rule out that possibility.

[deadlygoals]

I didn't discount that possibility.

Considering its contents, she might have wanted to leave that single page somewhere easy to find.
