Dear Musica,

I bet you weren't expecting a letter from your best friend a.k.a me, were you? I never thought I'd be writing you one either. Since this is the last you'll probably ever hear from me, I don't need to be reserved or formal.

I know who killed Melodia. You say it was me, because I loved you, but it wasn't. Believe me if you will! You're a stupid, brainless gut.

Well, the murderer has to have a motive. We all decided it wasn't outside work; it couldn't have been. Melodia wouldn't drink poisoned wine handed to her by a stranger! So; someone from the house.

It's kind of scary to believe. And hard.

Who were in the house that night? Me. You; although you had gone out for a walk for a while. Elie, Haru, Plue, Griff, Cattleya. Solacido, Shiba. Remi.

Which of these people have a motive?

I did. Do you? I don't think so, so I eliminate you. I eliminate you, Elie, Haru, Plue, Griff, Cattleya, Solacido and Shiba because none of them have motives. Which leaves me and Remi. I'm telling you I didn't do it; I know I didn't.

You're a stupid fool who can't see beyond a pretty face like Remi's, but hear this. If it wasn't me, then it had to be Remi. She's the only other person with a motive!

I just thought you should know.

While I'm at it, I may as well say goodbye. Have fun with Remi, and please please please tell the others I said good bye to them too. I'm going to miss them all. I don't really know where I'm going, but I think I'll just explore the world at random, like you guys did. Plus, I'm sick of "not knowing who I am" and "having no one to love". I'm going to try and jog my memory!

So I'm off to spin my fortunes.

Bye.

-Licia (and soon I'll have a last name here!)

It was a thankful but cold Musica that tumbled into the warmth of the house. Standing still in the dim hallway, he gratefully absorbed the heat of the house. He rubbed his hands together.

"On my way back I'm wearing my coat," he muttered to himself. "Now, where's my damn hand phone?" Musica entered the hall, only half hoping to see Licia there. But it was all dark.

Where the hell is everyone? Licia and Solacido were supposed to be staying home! The whole first floor was dark. As if nobody was home. Musica wonderingly went out to the staircase.

Odd. Even if Solacido had gone out, I thought Licia practically swore she meant to stay home! Musica shrugged. "She probably went to sleep early, and switched all the lights off forgetting that everyone else would be coming home. She'd do a smart thing like that."

Musica pressed down the light switch. Warm, yellow light flooded the stairs. But...is it safe for her to be alone? After what happened to Melodia? Musica shook his head, smiling weakly. He was being really paranoid now.

And anyway, I doubt the murderer would try and murder herself. It was a spiteful thought and he knew it. Whoever the murderer is...they could always return home like I did, and ...

Musica shook himself again. "The hell....I promised Remi I'd be back soon, and here I am worrying about her. Where is that hand -"

It was definitely a thud. In fact, it was a succession of thuds directly overhead. Musica scowled at the ceiling irritably. What the hell is she doing? Musica strode up the stairs scaling them three at a time.

Reaching Licia's door, which had a little furry teddy hanging on it, he pushed the door open. "What the hell are you doin-" He broke off.
