"We have 7 days to find the 'werewolf', or we all die?! This is insinuating that one of us did this!" Lily says, hysterically, "I would never kill Marls!" "We know." You say softly, standing up- "Look sitting around and panicking isn't going to help anyone. I'm going to look around- see if we missed anything." You say, walking off.

While you weren't lying about looking for clues, you also just needed a minute to understand just what is happening- Marlene, sweet wonderful, kind, caring Marlene, is dead. Who- why- would someone kill her? Now one of your own friends is the monster that killed her? You sit down against a tree, pressing your face into your knees. Not looking up until you hear the crunch of leaves, and look up, seeing Remus.
