(Detective’s room. Night. Thunder rumbles outside. He sits at his desk, the dim lamp casting a warm glow over files, photos, and scribbled notes.)

Staring at Elior’s letter)
You were too precise, Elior.
Too calculated to just… give up.

He opens the official autopsy report, flipping pages fast. Stops at one line. His eyes narrow.)

(highlighting a line)
“Found with sleeping pills. No signs of struggle.”
But the dosage was double the lethal amount?
(He stands. Grabs his coat.)
aeryn sulvian (mc)(RO)
That’s not suicide.
That’s staged.
(Cut to: Hospital Records Room. Midnight. The detective enters quietly, flashing his ID at the sleepy guard.)
aeryn sulvian (mc)(RO)
I need case access.
Death certificate—Elior Daren.
(Records Room. He pulls out the file. Inside: photos, time of death, and… a coroner’s note.)

"Body found in the hospital chapel. Wrist bruises present, inconsistent with overdose-only death. Not reported to authorities—family insisted on private burial."
aeryn sulvian (mc)(RO)
Reads, eyes wide)
Wrist bruises.
Covered up.
Why wasn’t this mentioned before?
(He flips to a copy of Elior’s will. Finds a scribbled line at the bottom.)
Elior’s handwriting:
"If anything happens to me—don’t trust himr."
aeryn sulvian (mc)(RO)
(whispers)
Him?
You knew something.
You were scared.
(Flashback flashes briefly—Elior standing alone in the hospital chapel, hiding a paper in the Bible’s pages. His hands shake. He looks over his shoulder. Footsteps echo behind him.)

You talk too much.
Back to present. Detective slams the file shut.)
aeryn sulvian (mc)(RO)
I need to find who signed the burial release.
And I need to talk to Caelan’s husband.
(He dials a number.)
aeryn sulvian (mc)(RO)
Yeah. It’s me.
Pull the hospital’s visitor logs—Chapel wing.
Three weeks after Caelan’s wedding.
