Stevie was sat alone at the kitchen table, she wasn't in a mood to do anything after breakfast. S-she didn't care about Ray... His words didn't hurt her at all!

"Stevie?"

Stevie looked up slowly to see... Akira?

"Akira? What's wrong?" Stevie asked her, noticing her worried expression.

Akira sniffled before running to Stevie, enveloping her in a tight hug as she starter to cry. Stevie was taken aback slightly but rubbed the smaller girl's back.

"Aw... What's the matter? Is the motive making you upset?" Stevie asked softly.

Akira nodded, whimpering as she trembled in Stevie's arms. Stevie dreaded to think what Akira's secret was if it made her this upset.

"Your secret can't be that bad... Can it?" Stevie raised a brow.

"It is! If you knew- If they knew, everyone would hate me!" Akira sobbed.

Stevie held the small girl close to her chest as she began humming. She wasn't humming any specific tune, just bits and pieces that she remembered from her childhood.

It took some time, but soon Akira was fast asleep, curled up in Stevie's arms. Poor thing... What could she have done?

Stevie shook her head as she stood up, still carrying Akira. This is gonna look suspicious... Oh well! Stevie shrugged and walked out of the dining hall and began heading towards Akira's room then...

Stevie wasn't sure what happened but all of a sudden she was on the ground,  Akira was a short distance away. How... Jeff!?

"What have you done?' Jeff hissed, looking down at Stevie.

"W-what? I didn't do anything, she was just sleeping!" Stevie shook her head.

Jeff growled, their eyes full of rage... Why were they so angry? Was it... Akira? But why would Jeff care so much about-

"Jeffy, what did you do?" Akira was suddenly crouched by her side,"Did you hurt Stevie?"

"I... Thought she killed you." Jeff looked away.

"She was just trying to help me..." Akira walked over to Jeff,"Come on, let's talk."

Akira lead Jeff away and left Stevie alone once more. She looked down at her wrist, she'd landed on it funny when Jeff shoved her and it stung... She'd be fine.

"Stevie? What are you doing down there?"

Stevie turned to the sound of Jay's voice, seeing her stood with her arms crossed. Teri then emerged from Jay's room and Stevie smiled slightly.

"I'm fine, I just tripped." Stevie assured them, getting to her feet.

"Oh... Alright then." Jay shrugged, re-entering her room and pulling Teri in with her before she could speak.

Stevie sighed and began walking back to her room. A sad Scott passed her, followed by Scorpius.

"Scott, do you-"

"Not now, Stevie." Scorpius cut her off as Scott continued down the hall.

"But I'm his friend, I want to help.' Stevie told her.

"You can help by staying away." Scorpius sighed,"Look, I have nothing against you but... You're the one who gave Monoyagi the idea for a motive."

Before Stevie could say anything more, Scorpius hurried off and Stevie turned, running into her room and slamming the door.

They were upset with her... She didn't mean to do anything wrong. It wasn't her fault... Right?

Oh, it is all your fault. You suggested the motive and that's what pushed Crystal to kill. I guess that means you responsible for both of their deaths.

"I didn't want this to happen! Go away!" Stevie covered her ears,"I can't hear you!"

I'm in your head, stupid. That won't block me out. God, you really have nothing in that brain of yours. How did you survive that trial?

"I-"

Oh, that's right! Ray and Teri, they're the only reason you could make it through the trial. I bet they hate you too.

Stevie looked down. Ray... No, Teri definitely didn't hate her. They were best friends!

You really think she meant it? How naive are you?

Stevie curled up on the ground... She didn't like her thoughts, they scared her. She didn't want to be alone anymore.
