✈️ Episode 7 – Skies and Shadows

✈️ Scene 1 – Alejandro Builds Lumera’s First Airport

Alejandro, standing with blueprints in hand, declares:

“It’s time Lumera connects to the world... by air.”

He clears a wide plot of land just north of Soluma Way and begins building with workers.

Airport Name:

"Aeropuerto de Luz" – Airport of Light

He also names the national airline:

"Air Lumera" – slogan: “Fly With Freedom”

Alejandro commissions the first small passenger plane, painted in blue and white with the Lumera flag on its tail.

☁️ Scene 2 – The Clouds Turn Dark

Just weeks after the airport’s announcement... tragedy hits.

🔪 Three citizens are found murdered mysteriously one night.

The small town is in shock. 5 people flee Lumera, terrified, reducing the population from 20 to 15.

Alejandro sits at his desk in the Office of Light, holding his head. He calls Carlos Mendes, the head of police.

🚬 Scene 3 – The Suspects Arrive

Carlos enters the office smoking nervously.

“We have 4 suspects. All had contact with the victims before they died.”

He lays down the list:

Jorge Díaz – a quiet man who argued with one of the victims

Elena Vargas – a nurse with strange night activity

Samuel Torres – newcomer, rarely speaks

Nico Ramos – young, erratic, and obsessed with knives

🕵️‍♀️ Scene 4 – A Woman Steps Forward

A local librarian, Luciana Bellarosa, walks into the police station confidently:

“I’ve been following everything. I believe I can help solve this.”

Though skeptical, Alejandro allows her to join the investigation.

🔍 Scene 5 – Investigating the Crime Scene

Luciana and Carlos visit each murder site. They collect:

Footprints in muddy soil

A broken wristwatch near one body

A silver thread from unique clothing

A note with part of a word: "sam—"

🧠 Scene 6 – The Deduction

Luciana calls a meeting in the Office of Light.

“It’s not about who hated them. It’s about who planned it.”

She lays out her findings:

The footprints match Samuel’s boots

The watch was gifted by one victim to Samuel

The thread matches a jacket only Samuel owns

The note most likely was the beginning of “Samuel”

She turns to Alejandro:

“Samuel Torres is the killer. It was all there... in the clues.”

🔒 Scene 7 – Justice in Lumera

Carlos arrests Samuel, who confesses after questioning. He had personal revenge motives.

Alejandro, heartbroken but relieved, announces:

“Justice has been served. We won’t let fear rule our nation.”

Luciana becomes Lumera’s first Official Investigator.

📊 Ending Stats:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Population: 15

🛫 Airport: Operational

🚨 Police: Respected more

👩‍⚖️ Luciana Bellarosa: Appointed Chief of Investigations

Alejandro closes the day saying:

“We flew into the sky... but found shadows below. Still, we rise.”
