Her eyes locked onto the blade.
"I asked Eselin to retrieve the shower ledger from the girls' dormitory," I explained. "Your name was recorded around the time Jelda was murdered, just like you told me. At first, it cleared you."

She stared at me without blinking.
"It matched something else instead."
"I... I don't understand..."
