FLAW: FORTY-EIGHT

MAICA POV

We were sitting in the living room with Trisha and Sky, watching a Netflix movie on our TV. Alex was not home, according to mom, and she didn't know where he went. Trisha also shared with us how she became interested in the girl found dead in the bathroom earlier. She told us about the gray halo she saw around that girl.

"About the gray halo, do you know what that means?" I asked Trisha, who was attentively watching the TV.

She shook her head. "I've searched the internet, but there's no definite answer. I found some information, but it's too irrelevant to the victim."

"What does it say?" Now, Sky was asking again.

"According to the so-called Aura Reader Expert, a gray halo symbolizes sleep deprivation."

"Irrelevant," I agreed.
