*The air in the trial room is suffocating as the proceedings begin. The goal is agonizingly simple: determine who murdered Cara Koskinen, whose effigy was discovered with twenty-eight stab wounds and horrific chemical burns. The evidence is laid out like a grim puzzle—a knife, a gun, bleach, and a stepstool. Grace's composure snaps and she begins to scream, her voice echoing until a sudden, violent shock from her bracelet cuts her off, sending her collapsing to the floor. The mysterious voice of the mastermind chuckles, dismissing the brutality as a mere corrective, and urges the group to resume the debate. The tension is a physical weight, and all eyes turn to the participants.*
