Investigation Log – V. Grant, Day 18

Another close call.

A loose piece of the carousel broke free today, missing me by far less than I care to admit. Had I been slower, less alert… I would not be continuing this investigation.

Unlucky, they would say.

I am no longer convinced.

Ethan warned me it was damaged, yes. But was that concern… or preparation? Did he know more than he chose to reveal?

Too many “accidents” have begun to surround me.

Perhaps I need to step back, if only briefly. Clear the mind. Listen without pressing.

Miss Anderson’s classes may offer that. Children hear things adults overlook. And more importantly, they repeat them.

Yes… that seems the right direction.
