Even though Nak <b>was </b>raised by a single mom, her mother loved her dearly and made a good living as a jade carver, so Nak grew up innocent and carefree.
When Nak reached adulthood, shended a steady job <b>as </b><b>a </b>teacher. On top of that, her good looks made her well–liked in the neighborhood.
Her husband, Frederick, had been her childhood sweetheart. He <b>was </b>tall, handsome, and had a promising career ahead of him.
They’d been married for years, and even though Nak couldn’t have children, Frederick still spoiled her and treated her like a treasure.
Nak’s adopted daughter, Anneliese, was smart and well–behaved, <i>too</i>.
That alone was enough to make people jealous. But then, to everyone’s surprise, after years of infertility, Nak managed to get pregnant with a baby boy at forty.
Back then, everyone in the neighborhood said Nak was the luckiest woman around, and everyone envied her.
Nak and Melody were close, which only made Melody the constant point ofparison.
Every time someone praised Nak for her luck, they’d bring up Melody just to put <b>her </b>down.
Melody’s husband was a loser who drank, gambled, and beat her. Melody didn’t have a proper job and spent her days cutting fish at the market<b>, </b>so she was always reeking of fish.
She had two kids, but her husband still looked down on her…
Melody couldn’t help but feel awful hearing those things. It was only natural for her to start resenting Nak.
Before, at least, Nak couldn’t have kids. Melody had a son and a daughter–at least she had that over Nak.
<i>But </i>when <i>Nak </i>got <i>pregnant</i><i>, </i><i>Melody </i>lost <i>it</i><i>. </i>
It <b><i>wasn’t </i></b><i>my </i><i>fault</i><i>! </i>
<b><i>Not </i></b><i>my </i><b><i>fault </i></b><i>at </i><i>all</i><i>! </i>
<b><i>Nak </i></b><i>just </i><i>had </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>pregnant </i><ite </i><i>in </i><i>life </i><i>and </i>show off<i>! </i>
Besides, Melody had just been so shocked by the news that Frederick had died. She felt she only ran to tell Nak because she meant well.
Nak’s husband had died, and there wasn’t even a body left.

Melody figured since Nak loved him so much, of course she’d want to know right away.

“Nak, something terrible happened! Frederick was killed in an explosion while trying to save someone. There’s nothing left of him! Go check on him!”
Melody didn’t feel it was wrong for her to tell Nak.
She was just telling the truth.
Nak stumbled out, and when her legs gave out, she fell down the stairs. In Melody’s opinion, that wasn’t her fault, either.
It had nothing to do with her at all.
She just saw Nak lying in a pool of blood and got scared. That was why she ran away.
<i>It </i>was <i>just </i><i>fate </i><i>that </i><i>Nak </i><i>and </i><i>her </i><i>unborn </i><i>child </i><i>died</i><i>! </i>
<i>Yeah</i>, it was <i>just </i><i>bad </i><i>luck</i>!
<i>Maybe </i><i>Nak </i><i>heard </i><i>her </i><i>husband </i><i>had </i><i>died </i><i>and </i>lost <i>the </i>will <i>to </i>live, <i>so </i><i>she </i><i>threw </i><i>herself </i>down <i>the </i><i>stairs</i>.
Melody keeps thinking that, and it starts to calm her down.
She kept telling herself that when she ran away from the scene, she’d checked all around–there was no one there!
There was no way Roretha could have seen her!
“No. No way…

Melody shook her head, panicking.
In the Banyans, Jonathan sat on the couch, still in the suit he’d worn to see Zacharias, looking cold and serious.
Zion stood nearby, ying an audio recording on his tablet.
“Mom, I’ll ask you one more time. Are you really not involved at all in Anneliese’s adoptive mother’s death?<b>” </b>
“<b>I </b>swear, Zacharias, I had nothing to do with it!”
“Alright. I’m leaving now. Didn’t you say you were going to see Lenora?”
“Yes, yes, I’m going right now.”
The recording ended there.

Zion looked disappointed, not having heard what he was hoping for.

“Turns out Melody’s pretty cautious–she wouldn’t even trust her own son. Too bad we couldn’t get her to confess on tape. If we had, we could y it for Mrs. Fullbuster’s grandmother.”
Jonathan had installed the bug in Zacharias‘ suit pocket during their fight in the private room.
Roretha never said she saw Melodying out of Anneliese’s building. She just saw Melody running home, looking panicked, about half an hour before Nak’s ident.
Roretha’s testimony wasn’t enough.
Jonathan brought up Roretha to try to get Zacharias to confront Melody, hoping she’d admit the truth.
But Melody turned out to be too cautious–not even her own son could get her to talk.
<i>Zacharias </i><i>really </i><i>is </i><i>a </i><i>failure </i><i>at </i><i>handling </i><i>things</i>.
<i>Too </i><i>bad</i><i>… </i>
<i>But </i><i>the </i><i>bug </i><i>is </i>still <i>on </i><i>Zacharias</i>. <i>There </i>is still <i>a </i><i>chance</i>.
“Take this recording to an expert and have it checked,” Jonathan told Zion.
Melody’s denials were clean–she hadn’t slipped up at all in the recording.
