- Yes, I've been thinking about that too, - Vale said sadly. - But we don't really know how things would have turned out. If not now, then maybe later? We don't know who's behind this and what their motives are. Was the killer specifically targeting him, or was it just a coincidence? I hope they sort this out quickly, and then everything will become clear. For now, it's best to be careful and not wander around alone. Okay, I think it's time to go to the interrogation, or whatever they call it. To Duncan or Carvia?

— I don't think it makes a difference, - Toad said dejectedly.

- This weekend? - Nira thought for a moment, but then shook her head: - No, I didn't see him.

— Well, regarding your question, there are two possibilities. If "it" was done by some crazy person from the city or a thug with a bad hobby, then you are safe within the walls. But if the criminal is among you, the students, then things get much more complicated. The faculty and the city guard will do everything in their power to find the culprit and prevent a repeat of today's events, but I can only guarantee the safety of each student if I deploy several dozen soldiers for 24-hour surveillance of each of you, and that is not only difficult in itself, but also does not comply with the current laws of the kingdom, since all citizens have the right to privacy. Nevertheless, your concerns are completely justified, and no one will blame you if you decide to go home and hide. But if you run away from every danger, you may one day find yourself in a situation where there is nowhere left to run. - Realizing that he had started to grumble like an old man, Duncan finished his thought and returned to the main point. - In short, I heard you, go ahead.
