The note itself was brief, hastily written, addressed to no one by name. Only a set of instructions, vague enough to seem deniable at a glance, but unmistakably clear once laid beside everything else Eleanore already knew. The murder was conducted by Eleanore Sinclair. Make sure the name sticks before anyone starts asking real questions.
There was no signature. There didn't need to be. The handwriting matched, precisely, the scrawled notes on Adena's tea party planning lists scattered across the desk behind her.
Eleanore stood there for a long moment, the paper trembling faintly in her hand, the full weight of it settling in slow, cold layers. Before she could fully process it, the familiar shimmer of a notification panel bloomed into the air in front of her.
