Tenny walked over to Marian while Juniper followed at a distance.

“I apologize for what happened to you.”

Marian smiled.

“It's over, no need to apologize. I'm doing a bit better every passing day.”

Tenny smiled back, looking down in hesitation. Sage's words once again went through her.

"You need a backbone for the occupation you're aiming for. If you can't even ask a basic question, guess this is the wrong place for you."

Tenny looked back up.

“I'm sorry to have to ask this. I know you spotted your attacker by his hoodie, but did you see his face?”

Marian's friends and her close friend, a blonde named Rebecca Fraine, looked at Tenny in a rage. Marian reassured them.

“It's fine, guys, it's fine. I went down to the precinct to give my story, and I picked him out of a lineup.”

“See? So leave her alone,” Rebecca snapped.

“But I couldn't select a guy. So I just went and gave my story. There were witnesses, though, who went to ID him after I left the lineup room. They were there when he rushed out. It's over now, isn't it?”

Marian's friends are completely caught by surprise, as well as Tenny and Juniper. Marian scanned all of their wary expressions.

“PLEASE tell me it's over.”

“Well, that's what I wanted to talk about. I want to know if you saw any distinguishing marks. Any bruises or tattoos?”

“His hand was grappling my mouth so hard, all I could do was look at it. The veins on his wrist were bulging. I thought blood had burst from it.”

Tenny grew curious.

“Why would you think that?"

Marian looked at Tenny in confusion.

“I mean, that's what it looked like. I thought two blood trails had connected at a point and spread out. Was it not blood?”

"What did the shape look like?” Tenny asked.

“Like… a 'y' or a ‘v'?"

Tenny looked to Juniper, a confirming expression on Tenny’s face. Juniper nodded, withdrawing her phone.

“I'll send a text to Mr. Glint to see if we can get the same lineup done once more. This is highly important,” Juniper said.

“Actually-” Tenny began.

Juniper, Marian, and the rest looked at Tenny, anticipating her answer.

Tenny looked around, walking closer to Juniper and leaning towards her ear.

“There may be a lead on campus,” Tenny whispered.

Juniper looked at Tenny in surprise.

“Currently?” she whispered back.

Tenny nodded as Juniper looked around. She looked at the girls.

“Thank you, girls, thank you, Marian, for your cooperation.”

Juniper waved to them, the girls waving back in confusion. Juniper grabbed Tenny lightly by the arm, walking the both of them over to the furthest building to the right.

They stopped walking, Juniper turning to Tenny. She held her phone up and opened the voice memo application. She hit record.

“Okay. We have to hurry before this case turns cold. Who did you see that matches the description?”

Tenny looked Juniper in the eyes, her own shaking. What she dreaded is about to surface again. Tenny looked away.

“Tenny... did he threaten you?"

Tenny shook her head. She sighed.

“It's just... I…"

Tenny sighed again, pushing her hair back. Juniper placed a hand on Tenny’s shoulder.

“Tenny. You have nothing to be afraid of. Me, Alistair Glint, GNW, the Fallow Police Department? We're all here to help. You can tell me.”

Tenny looked up at Juniper, trying to find ways to get the truth out without activating her ability.

“...My class... uh..."

Juniper waited patiently as Tenny tried to find a way to reveal her findings.

Tenny looked up at the darkening sky, the moon visible, even during the sunset. Juniper looked up as well to see what Tenny was looking at. Tenny sighed once more.

“I hope it doesn't rain…"

Juniper looked back down at Tenny, wondering why she was changing the subject.

“I find it soothing… but the thunderstorms can be distracting when I'm studying.”

“Tenny... are you alright?”

“Yeah, they can be distracting... and dangerous if it hits the wrong thing at the wrong time. We students have to be careful…"

“TENNY!” Juniper shouted.

Tenny jolted in her direction.

"What on earth are you going on about?”

Tenny looked at her with serious eyes.

“Lightning… on campus.”

“TENNY!” Chess yelled.

Chess came running down one of many paths of the campus center towards Tenny and Juniper.

“Chess?” Tenny said.

“Sage barricaded himself in his room. I don't know what else to do."

“What? Why?”

“He saw Mr. Wenge on our floor and didn't want anyone to know they were related. He locked the door, but once Mr. Wenge left, it's still…”

“You two go ahead, I'll try to relay your…  information to Mr. Glint,” Juniper said.

Tenny nodded as she followed Chess to the dormitory.

Juniper walked away, stopping the recording. She played their conversation back on speaker, and no one else was around her. Juniper listened carefully, trying to see if there were any hints in that seemingly pointless story. One of the sentences hit, a spark going off in her head.

She stopped in her tracks. Juniper took the phone off of speaker and lifted it to her ear, replaying certain parts over and over.

Her eyes looked up in bewilderment.

With the afternoon classes canceled due to Alistair's address to the school, many students were already in the dormitory. That little fact did not stop Chess from racing past the crowds.

Tenny tried to keep up with him, the two rushing up the staircase. Blake and Mark saw Tenny, not seeing her all day until now.

Chess pounded on Sage's door, Sage opening it. Sage looked both ways while Tenny was caught off guard by how fast he seemed to get over whatever anger he was harboring.

“You two, hurry in,” Sage said in a hushed tone.

The two entered as Chess closed the door. Tenny looked at him, then at Sage, full of nerves.

Sage put a finger to his mouth, signaling for them to be silent. He walked to his laptop.

“You two are the only ones I can trust. Any of those other students could be best friends with the suspect, for all we know. I found this.”

Sage pulled up a photo of the culprit being escorted by cops outside of the dormitory by one of the campus' security cameras.

“You see, to counteract any intention to assault in the University, security cameras were set up, but also outside the dormitory. I didn't think to access them until now."

“How are you accessing them?” Tenny asked.

“The Fallow Precinct has a site full of live camera feed for the entire district.”

Sage clicked from camera to camera.

“This is on the day of the assault. Get a look at this.”

Chess and Tenny looked over his shoulders as he fullscreened the footage.

“These cameras reset every week, so it's limited footage, to say the least. First, let's look at the footage of the suspect the cops apprehended.”

The video played of the suspect being forced towards the police cars, Sage pausing the video. The time on the footage is nine-eighteen pm. He went frame by frame until he found a still that he liked.

“There.”

The culprit's face was front and center. Still very blurry, but it's an image of him with his mouth open. He's almost on the border of tall, standing around five-five. His hair is dark, but it's hard to identify whether it's black or brown due to the greenish hue of the footage.

Chess and Tenny stared at the image, trying to study it, as Sage screencapped the still.

“Now, let's go back fifteen minutes.”

Sage typed in some information, the footage instantly transporting to a time stamp of nine-o-three. Tenny became all nerves, anticipating what she'd see.

After seconds of waiting go by, a hooded figure exited the dormitory, no cops in sight. He is running at the speed of light, Sage pausing the video. He rewinded it frame by frame, tapping the left key several times. He pressed the right key to forward a couple of frames, stopping. Sage took another screencap.

“There.”

This hooded figure is almost six feet tall, has a slimmer yet muscular build, and has dark hair. The body is almost like a different person.

“They're completely different,” Tenny said.

“They really did arrest the wrong guy,” Chess said.

Sage airdropped the screencaps onto his phone, Tenny looking at him.

“Hey, could you send that to me? I know someone at GNW who's also tackling this case of mistaken identity.” Tenny said.

“It'd better not be my uncle.”

Sage looked at Tenny, airdropping the files to her phone as well. They also decided to exchange contact information for all three of them.

Chess turned to Tenny.

"Sorry for misleading you earlier about Sage's condition. I had to, in case the culprit had any nosy associates on the campus.”

Tenny nodded, looking down at the screencaps.

“As long as no one catches on.”

She immediately e-mailed the photos to Juniper Na, along with a short message about Sage's discovery. Although it was Sage's find, Tenny left his name out of it just in case, for his safety.

Sage walked over to the door, slowly opening it, to make sure there were no eavesdroppers. Looking out, he saw a few students here and there chatting, laughing amongst themselves. He looked to Chess and Tenny.

“We're all good. I'll be showing this to the Headmaster tomorrow. Alright. It's dinner time. I need food now, but we can eat here. You guys want anything?”

Tenny shook her head, smiling.

“Let's order a pizza tonight. Everyone in my morning class kept talking about that pizza place on campus, ‘Yinny’s?'" Chess said.

“Are you reading my thoughts? I was just heading there! Alright, be back in a few after using my new twenty.”

Sage snickered, Chess smiling as he rolled his eyes. The door closed, Tenny getting up and sitting on the side of her bed. Chess sat down at Sage's desk, turning away from his laptop.

“He's strange, isn't he? One moment, he's aloof about this whole scandal. Next thing you know, he's Sherlock Holmes.”

Tenny smiled, putting her phone beside her.

“I did get that former impression of him. It seemed trivial to him at first.”

“That’s… well, I don't know if he'd like me saying this…”

Tenny looked at Chess.
