"Monaco! Monaco!" France kept yelling. He kept pushing open doors, searching for her.
He opened another door. "Mona- Oh, oops sorry!" France blushed as he closed the door.
"Monaco! Monaco! Where are you?"
As France passed by a door, he thought he heard a whimper. He paused and walked back. He opened the door. "Monaco?" he called softly.
A flying pillow met his face.
"Go away."
France walked in and saw Monaco huddled in a corner, quietly crying. He slowly sat down next to her.
After a few minutes, Monaco looked up. "Do you ever wish you could go back? Change something that you probably shouldn't have done?"
France looked back on his life. "...Yes."
Monaco shook her head. "I wish that I could go back, rip up all those love-letters and forget all about Romano. And warn all those people about what was going to happen at the ball..." After Monaco said this, she stood up.
"That's it!"
"What is?" asked France.
"We can go back and find out who killed Dominic and Colette!"
"How exactly?"
Monaco gave him a devilish look. "A seance of course!"
"You think you can do it?" Monaco asked.
Norway nodded. "Yeah, just gather everyone in a circle."
Soon, all the countries were sitting cross-legged, in a circle.
"What are we like doing this for?" Poland asked Monaco.
"By doing this seance, we can find out who murdered Dominic and Colette. Now, do everything Norway says!"
Norway sighed. "Everybody, hold each other's hands." They obeyed.
"Never let go until I say so. Now all of us say, 'Is there anybody there?'"
All of the countries started to chant. "Is there anybody there? Is there anybody there?"
The chandelier's lights went dark. Several people gasped.
"Don't worry," Norway said. "It just means the spirits have come. Now, the spirit is going to choose a host to communicate. Don't worry, it's just going to talk through you."
After a few minutes of waiting, Poland began to talk.
"Monsieurs, why am I here? It's so dark!"
Several people began to chuckle. The voice coming out of Poland's mouth, was a woman's.
Norway nodded to Monaco. She cleared her throat.
"Colette, cay you tell us what happened during the time of your murder?"
Poland nodded. His eyes seemed glazed over, and his face showed no expression.
Before Monaco could ask another question, Poland began to speak.
"Oh, it's just you. If this is about Dominic, I didn't kill him."
Hmmm, thought Monaco. It seems we're hearing what she said at the time of her death.
All of the countries' attentions we on Poland as he began to giggle.
"You know, I didn't realize it until you told me. Now I can see such a- Mr. Russia, what are you doing?! What- Help! Help!"
"I did not kill her!" yelled Russia, letting go of Prussia's hand.
The lights immediately turned on. Poland shook his head.
"Like what just happened?" he said groggily.
Monaco was silently, and intently thinking. She then snapped her fingers.
"I get it!"
She stood up and grabbed Russia's hand, taking him to the interrogation room. France hurried and followed.
Monaco threw Russia down on a chair and stared eagerly at him. "He's your son, isn't he? Dominic."
Russia looked surprised. "How did you know?"
"It explains how you tried to hide the fact that you knew him, he is an illegitimate son. Also it explains how he never got fired, even though he was so lazy. But how did Colette find out?"
"She overheard a conversation Dominic and I were having. I swore her to secrecy. But I didn't kill her! I promise!"
Monaco nodded. "Yes, there's no point... France! I want to examine Colette's body!"
Leaving a confused Russia behind, France and Monaco went up to the bedroom Colette's body was in. Monaco knelt by the body and carefully examined. She saw a speck of what seemed to be white putty smeared oh her neck.
"France, I think I know who killed Dominic and Colette."
