EPILOGUE

You return to the house and make a

decision.

You know who the killer is, there’s no

doubt in your mind.

You take them back to the police station

and sit them down. You’re both silent for

a moment but the killer understands why

you’ve brought them here.

Curse sighs and finally speaks:

“Fine, yes, technically I did murder Aaron.

And by “technically”, I mean I’ve been

planning it for months. that spat

we had a few months ago about the Theme

Manager position? Yeah, it wasn’t a spat, I

was furious. Aaron doesn’t deserve to be

in charge of the themes but xey just

wouldn’t give it up! I just… couldn’t stop

thinking about it. It wasn’t so much the

position but the idea that Aaron could do it

better. Everyone knows that’s not true.

Did you know I was promoted a month after

becoming curator? They saw my potential

then, and it’s not fair that Aaron should have

something I don’t.

Planning it was the most fun. The waiting, the

anticipation. It was simple, really, I just waited

until Aaron was alone and stabbed xem in the

back. Then a few more times for good

measure. I cleaned the knife in the bathroom

and chucked it in the kitchen trash while

everyone was distracted by the body.

Frankly, I thought it went really well. Or

as well as murder can go, I suppose.

If you hadn’t been there, I would’ve gotten

away with it. My life would’ve been perfect,

then. Well, actually, I’ve always wanted to be

Agent…”

Curse is grinning.

Just like that, it’s over. You walk out

of the room.

CLUES

Here is a breakdown of

all the clues that pointed

to Curse and a small explanation

for each. Some of these were

way more obvious than others,

no one was meant to get all of them.

Some were, in all honesty, just for fun.

The dagger:

- It had a jade blade which was very

briefly mentioned in a poem on Curse’s

wall.

- The hyacinths on the hilt meant jealousy

(for the theme manager title)

- The colour of the hilt (gold) was meant

to be reminiscent of Curse’s colouring but

could also pretty easily point to Cora and

possibly Lae

- The black ribbon tied to the hilt

represented grief and mourning but it’s

also a common way to curse an object (get

it? Curse?)

- The dagger is also described to be clean

because it was cleaned by Curse in the

bathroom

The diary:

- Mentions of jealousy by Curse and envy

for the Theme manager position

The accusations:

- Curse claims to have been with Lae before

the murder but both of them had previously

claimed that they hadn’t interacted.

Aaron’s wall:

- Curse mentions the theme manager position.

The posts:

- The background of Day 2 is from “The

Martian Chronicles” by Ray Bradbury.

Curse had a quote in their bio from that

book. (Also just Curse’s favourite book)

- The background of Day 3 is yellow hyacinths

which represent jealousy.

Other:

- There was a hyacinth emoji in Curse’s bio

which referenced the ones on the dagger

- The quote in Curse’s bio is from a scene

where a character has just finished murdering

multiple men from their crew.

- Curse was given the Theme Manager title.

- A trail of blood from the kitchen proved that

the killer left the kitchen. Which meant it

couldn’t be Lae (who found the body).
