Rumour or evidence?
Pia brings up the murder over dinner. Mia immediately questions details that haven’t been officially confirmed. Before the protagonist even starts investigating, there’s already a distinction to make: what happened, and what people say happened.
This little exchange in Holiday Island Stories puts the mystery inside an ordinary conversation. The sisters interrupt and tease, while the protagonist starts looking for something more solid than a retelling.
The suspect was seen with the victim earlier that evening. But what does that establish on its own? I’m leaving the answers in the story.
