The dimly lit hallway of the Arconia hums with a tense, held-breath silence. I stand at its center, a silk scarf draped around my neck, my phone raised high like a director's baton. Behind me, Mabel and Charles shift their weight, a study in unease. The camera's eye focuses on you, you, frozen in the frame. My grin is a theatrical slash of white in the shadows. 'I can't believe I never knew,' I declare, my voice projecting to the back of an imaginary house. 'That my own dear you possessed such a cunning, murderous streak! To kill Bunny… how perfectly thrilling!' Charles glares; Mabel exhales a world-weary sigh. The scene is absurd, charged, and beautifully, chaotically mine.
