YEONGMIN KANG. document. / musings. / threads. / pinterest.

i. you were soft, once: with a gilded silhouette and the whole world in your hands — a bygone era you've since erased all traces of. you've washed your hands of your old self, but you worry your gait will betray you. ii. from prince to pariah, angel to soldier, an unexpected metamorphosis. every nerve sharpened like a knife. you're done with performing. iii. heavy was the crown you wore, so you cast it aside. do you know who you are without the weight? (by hyun ; 23 ; she/her) (for @princeuniversity)

⠀✦ PRINCE UNIVERSITY DOSSIER ✦

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀"Glory always leaves a stain."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I. BASICS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Full Name: Malia Aiyana Maskwa

✧ Nicknames / Aliases: Mal, Maskwa, “The Crown”

✧ Age: 26

✧ Pronouns / Gender Identity: She/Her — Cisgender Woman

✧ Sexuality: Bisexual

✧ Academic Year / Program: Grad Student – Master’s in Biology (with psych roots)

✧ College within Prince: Roosevelt College

✧ Field(s) of Study: Biology (Master’s), Psychology & Biology (Undergrad)

✧ Languages Spoken: English, French, Cree (conversational)

✧ Extracurriculars: Prince Television, Prince Honor Society

✧ Face Claim: Khadijha Red Thunder

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

II. PERSONALITY & PRESENCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Vibe Check / First Impressions:

All poise, polish, and perfume. A woman who never raises her voice, but always gets her way. Professors love her, students fear her, and no one forgets her.

✧ Aesthetic Notes:

→ lashes curled sharp enough to slice open an ego

→ gold hoops and silk scarf tied at her throat like a noose she loosened herself

→ vanilla & jasmine perfume layered over the clean smell of formaldehyde

→ vintage lab coats cinched at the waist, Cartier stacked to the knuckle

→ notebooks that look like spellbooks, organized with surgical precision

✧ Core Personality Traits:

– strategic · poised · perceptive · territorial · controlling · loyal (selectively)

– perfectionist tendencies masked by charm

– takes betrayal personally and holds it privately

✧ Signature Scent: Vanilla orchid, aged paper, skin-warm musk

✧ Vice / Weakness: Control. She doesn’t trust anyone else to lead.

✧ Ambition / Driving Goal: To publish groundbreaking research and enter a power circle that transcends academia. She wants to rule — not follow.

✧ What keeps them up at night? That no matter how perfect she plays it, someone will still dig deep enough to unravel her.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

III. REPUTATION & LEGACY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Campus Reputation:

The whisper in the library. The girl whose recommendation letter will get you into any PhD program — if she likes you. She's terrifyingly competent and unfazed by anything. You want her on your side, but she rarely picks a side that isn’t hers.

✧ Whispers and Rumors:

→ “She gave Penelope the crown, and maybe she took it back.”

→ “She corrected a tenured professor mid-lecture and was right.”

→ “I heard she got into three Ivy League PhD programs and turned them down.”

✧ Family Background / Wealth Origin:

Malia is third-generation wealth, her family’s fortune built on biomedical research. Her grandfather developed patented treatments still used in oncology labs today. The Maskwas own labs across North America and fund scholarships, but they’ve also been the subject of hush-hush ethics scandals swept under the rug. Their name appears on the BioSciences wing — and in biotech investor lawsuits.

✧ Net Worth / Status:

Generational wealth — old science money with a polished face and a pristine endowment

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

IV. RELATIONSHIP WITH PENELOPE CABOT-SINCLAIR

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Nature of Their Relationship:

Malia was Penelope’s TA in multiple psych classes. Their relationship grew beyond academia. Malia didn’t “make” Penelope, but she molded her. She saw her as a successor, someone to carry the title of Prince It Girl with elegance and edge. Their bond was tight, but competitive — intimate in a way that defied labels.

✧ Duration of Relationship:

Since Penelope’s freshman year — four years of admiration, challenge, subtle manipulation, and private conversations in locked offices.

✧ Key Memories or Moments:

→ Penelope called her “professor” in private, just to piss her off.

→ Malia once edited a letter of recommendation for Penelope and called it her “final exam.”

→ Their last conversation was a text from Penelope saying: “Do you ever miss who you were before all this?” — Malia never replied.

✧ Last Known Contact Before Her Death:

Malia texted Penelope around midnight about a research draft. No response. She claims she knocked on her door the next day — and was met with sirens.

✧ Unspoken Feelings / Regrets:

Malia would never admit she loved her — not romantically, not even platonically — but she *claimed* Penelope. And no one else had the right to take her away.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

V. INVESTIGATION NOTES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ FBI Interviewed?:

Yes — twice. Once alone, once in front of her academic advisor.

✧ Alibi for Midsummer Night (11pm–2am):

She claims to have been on a science department bar crawl, though no one remembers seeing her after 12:30. She says she was texting Penelope at midnight. Her phone data confirms it — but doesn’t place her at the time of death.

✧ Connection to the Ten of Pentacles:

Confirmed member, legacy member. She denies involvement in the initiation ritual that night, but others claim she was present. The society’s loyalty code prevents direct accusations — for now.

✧ Public vs Private Reaction to Penelope’s Death:

Public: Composed, mournful, respectful. She gave a statement at the vigil.

Private: Detached. Precise. Keeps a copy of Penelope’s psych thesis on her nightstand.

✧ What Are They Hiding?:

Something happened between them the week Penelope died. Whether it was a fight, a betrayal, or a shared secret — she’s protecting it with everything she has.

"She wasn’t the first It Girl. I just let her borrow the crown."

he used to live for music. now he’s not sure he knows how to breathe without it.

faceclaim: joe keery age: 22 pronouns: he/they (non-binary) sexuality: gay zodiac: aquarius major: music composition current location: prince university, new jersey vibe: cardigan slipping off one shoulder, ink-stained fingers, grief tucked behind a half-smile and a melody that never quite finishes aesthetic: broken metronomes, coffee gone cold at 3am, piano strings fraying under pressure, grief in a major key, love notes never sent, legs bouncing beneath the practice room bench alignment: neutral good (trying so hard to stay afloat) theme song: “i know the end” by phoebe bridgers love language: late-night rambling, letting you hear the songs he never plays for anyone, showing up even when he’s falling apart mbti: infp — idealistic, sensitive, emotionally intense, barely held together by duct tape and sheet music

strengths:

musical genius, intuitive and self-taught beyond what school ever gave him

deeply empathetic — reads people through their silences

fiercely loyal to his sister, even when things got complicated

captivating, electric presence once he’s performing — or falling in love

weaknesses:

self-sabotages constantly and overthinks everything

throws himself into love too fast, then disappears into his work

hasn’t touched a piano since penelope’s death — terrified he never will again

emotionally overwhelmed but refuses to talk about it unless he’s cracking a joke

appearance:

dark curls that never quite stay put, half-buttoned shirts, mismatched socks

old cardigans and jeans worn thin from pacing

ink on his fingers, piano calluses he keeps running his thumb over like phantom pain

under-eye circles that say “i didn’t sleep again, don’t ask”

habits:

taps rhythms on any surface — desks, knees, his own ribs

chews the ends of pencils or the neck of his hoodie drawstrings

loses track of time in every sense of the word

hoards voice memos of melodies he can’t finish

backstory:

born minutes after his twin sister penelope on a snowy february morning in manhattan. the two were inseparable from the start — a matched set of chaos and charisma.

diagnosed with adhd young, russell found solace in music. started playing piano at age six. by age ten, he was performing concertos from memory. by twelve, he’d played carnegie hall.

he was the quiet one — awkward, eccentric, constantly bullied — until high school, when he finally started growing into himself. still weird, still restless, but magnetic.

penelope was always his anchor. his sunshine. his better half. they balanced each other — until they didn’t. after she caught him making out with her ex-boyfriend at a party, their once-unbreakable bond frayed. they stopped talking for a while. he never stopped feeling guilty.

they had just started to reconnect when she died. murdered on campus. no warning, no answers. just silence where she used to be.

since her death, russell hasn’t touched a piano. the one thing that always saved him now feels like a betrayal. he’s stuck in stasis — grieving, unraveling, and trying to figure out who he is without her.

everyone expects him to return to music eventually. what they don’t know is that he’s not sure he wants to. or if he even can.

personality:

russell is all tangled nerves and soft chaos. he’s brilliant, yes — a prodigy, even — but he’s also a complete mess. there’s a constant buzz in him, like a song trying to escape, and it used to be beautiful. now it just hurts. he’s sarcastic, wildly charming, and kind of allergic to stillness. he feels everything too much — love, grief, guilt — and while he jokes to keep things light, there’s a heaviness underneath it all that he doesn’t know how to talk about. he wants to be okay. he just doesn’t know what okay looks like without penelope in the world. he’s not angry, not really. just… lost. and scared that the thing that used to define him — music — might have died with her.

DETAILS

FAMILY

mother:  elisabet  averny  nee  carrick,  alive.       father:  laurence  averny,  alive.       siblings:  two  older,  one  sister  (  30  )  and  one  brother  (  33  ).        pets:  none.

BACKGROUND

trigger  warning  for:  unplanned  pregnancy,  parental  neglect,  family  disappearance,  mention of indigenous  disappearance,  drug  mentions

they  say  prince  university  only  takes  in  three  types  of  people:  the  brilliant,  the  connected,  and  the  haunted.  cressida  averny  is  all  three  —  depending  on  the  time  of  day,  depending  on  who's  asking.  she  was  never  supposed  to  be  born,  not  really.  not  when  theavernys  already  had  their  heir,  their  spare,  and  their  perfect  story.  she  was  the  last  one  ━━  a  flicker,  a  hesitation  in  the  narrative.  unplanned,  uninvited,  and  quietly  left  to  fill  in  the  silence  between  conversations.

she  learned  early  to  walk  like  furniture  in  a  home  of  glass,  to  nod  and  to  smile  and  to  vanish.  the  sort  of  kid  who  knew  better  than  to  interrupt,  who  memorized  silence  like  scripture.  their  world  was  already  constructed  ━━  arctic  boardrooms  and  winter  estates,  silk  walls  and  sharp  knives  disguised  as  dinner  conversation.  there  was  no  space  left  for  softness,  so  she  learned  how  to  live  without  it.

each  spring,  they  migrated  north.  not  back  to  their  jersey  high-rise  or  manhattan  penthouse,  but  to  where  her  parents  began  ━━  north,  further  north,  into  the  territory  that  nurtured  them  before  wealth  did.  the  air  was  crisper.  colder.  cleaner.  and  there  was  her  grandmother,  waiting  with  cedar  smoke  in  her  hair  and  stories  woven  into  her  voice.

her  grandmother  was  warm  eyes  and  soft  laughter,  and  smelled  of  ice  and  smoke  and  unwritten  stories.  it  was  she  who  taught  cressida  how  to  weave  meaning  into  hair,  how  to  talk  without  talking.  they  created  together  ━━  bone  necklaces,  windwords,  silences  that  felt  like  home.  cressida  loved  her  the  way  you  love  a  fire  in  the  darkness:  unquestionably.

and  then,  one  spring,  she  was  gone.  no  footprints.  no  scream.  no  grave.  just  an  empty  chair  by  the  window,  and  a  memory  that  refused  to  melt.  cressida  was  seventeen  and  by  twenty-two,  she  still  searches  every  face  in  a  crowd  as  if  it  could  be  hers.  she's  studying  criminology  now.  not  because  she  believes  in  justice  ━━  but  because  not  knowing  is  a  wound  that  never  scabs.  she  wants  to  know  how  people  disappear,  how  truths  unravel,  how  silence  becomes  a  weapon.  it's  not  about  closure.  it's  about  control.

her  life  is  divided  into  thirds:  the  girl  she  was  at  home,  the  ghost  she  became  within  her  parents'  orbit,  and  the  student  she  pretends  to  be  in  new  jersey.  she's  a  legacy  acceptance.  a  known  quantity  in  elite  society  and  secret  societies  —  her  father's  name  etched  in  the  library  wing,  her  mother's  on  the  donor  hall  wall.  her  acceptance  was  a  formality.  so  was  her  invitation  to  the  society  under  the  bell  tower.  she  wears  designer  like  armor  ━━  slip  dresses  under  wool  jumpers,  bone-carved  earrings  with  valentino  coats.  hair  braided  the  way  her  grandmother  taught  her.

she's  nearest  to  the  ghosts.  the  girls  who  disappear.  the  ones  nobody  remembers  to  search  for.  the  cases  that  don't  make  the  news.  she  doesn't  weep  when  she  reads  them.  just  inscribes  their  names  in  the  margins.  they  say  she's  brilliant  but  brittle,  that  she  drinks  too  much  when  the  moon  is  wrong  and  that  she  always  leaves  the  party  early,  but  never  unnoticed,  not  with  penelope  in  her  arm  for  the  last  nine  months  before  her  name  is  included  in  the  margins  of  cressida's  notebooks.

HEADCANONS

her  mother  is  the  ceo  of  a  multinational  natural  resource  consulting  firm  and  her  father  is  the  founder  of  a  climate-tech  company  now  valued  in  the  billions.

cressida  and  penelope  have  been  officially  together  for  nine  months.  cressida  was  and  is  well  aware  that  penelope  was  not  the  most  loyal  and  she  told  herself  she  was  okay  with  it  (  she  wasn't,  but  penelope  made  her  feel  far  too  good  )  and  that,  at  the  end  of  the  day,  penelope  came  to  her  for  what  really  mattered  and  that's  what  cressida  hangs  onto.

⋆˚࿔  [  cha  eunwoo,  cis  male,  he/him  ]  hey,  i  think  i  just  ran  into  JUDE  SEO  at  SECRET  LIBRARY  !  you  mean  the  TWENTY  SIX  year  old  GRAD  STUDENT  studying  MEDICINE  known  for  their  LEVI’S  ,  DRESSED  UP  OR  DOWN  WITH  TOO  MANY  LAYERS  ON  TOP  ,  PAIRED  WITH  UNRELENTING  DARK  CIRCLES  around  MONTGOMERY  COLLEGE  ?  according  to  the  records,  they  are  recognized  for  their  involvement  in  CAMPUS  RADIO  and  TUTORING  CLUB.  word  goes  that  they  are  part  of  the  𝖳𝖤𝖭  𝖮𝖥  𝖯𝖤𝖭𝖳𝖠𝖢𝖫𝖤𝖲,  but  no  way  that  they're  tangled  in  that  web  of  secrecy  ⏤  i  mean  their  vibes  are  way  to  similar  to  PEETA  MELLARK  and  BEN  WYATT  to  be  in  a  secret  society,  right  ?  whatever,  their  admissions  application  to  prince  reminds  me  of  a  coffee  thermos  with  faded  stickers  from  simpler  times,  study  guides  abandoned  with  half  eaten  breakfasts,  the  smell  of  rain  before  it  pours  but  not  bothering  to  open  an  umbrella,  or  maybe  that's  the  reputation  they're  trying  to  cultivate.  while,  JUDE  claims  not  to  be  involved  with  that  one  student's  murder,  the  FBI's  still  got  their  eye  on  them  ⸻  let's  hope  they  can  afford  a  good  attorney.  good  luck  with  the  new  academic  year,  and  don't  get  into  too  much  trouble  this  semester  .ᐟ

just a fair warning i haven't joined a rp or written in like 2-3 years ... here she comes world please be kind to her 🙏 i didn't proofread this either sorry because i have fomo and have to leave the house so cheers i am sorry and love you all.

here's his pinterest too

statistics:

full name: jude seongmin seo. nicknames: maybe judey to his mom and maybe closest friends. age: twenty six . birthday: march 24, 1999. chart: pisces sun / cancer moon / capricorn rising (off pure vibes this is probs so wrong). place of birth: manhattan, new york. gender: cis male. pronouns: he / him. sexuality: bisexual. height: 6'0. piercings: none. would probs get an earring while drunk tho. tattoos: something on his right shoulder. major: medicine / med school. year: third year (took a one year gap after his undergraduate degree in biology to do volunteer doctor work overseas). occupation: medical student (on break from rotation), will probably go into emergency medicine. hobbies: playing piano (classically trained), cooking (he's not very good), listening to music, staying awake for 54+ hours at a time to feel something,

backstory

born and raised in manhattan, only child that was set to high standards. both of his parents were doctors, his mother in surgery and his father in anesthesiology. before jude could walk, his parents were fighting about what specialty he would go into. while he isn't unhappy with it, jude's life was planned out for him with little room for argument. he has his own place a little outside of manhattan he still goes back to as an escape.

his childhood was simple enough with nothing too out of the blue. his parents were affluent but never flaunted it, leading to little hardship. however, it was busy, like his parents, with jude receiving more support from nannies who carted him from school to tutoring to other extra curricular activities like cross country.

got his undergrad also from prince in biology as he is both a legacy to the university and to the ten. i don't think he's too crazy about the ten, honestly, it's just something he does and he moreso likes the community aspect of it.

as he started his undergrad, jude slowly started to explore activities he actually cares about, not just ones that were planned for him. he's probably been in every non-athletic club at some point, even if it was for three days (kind of like rachel berry in that one glee ep iykyk) as he figured out things he could call his own, eventually landing on college radio and tutoring. he enjoys being a figure helps and wishes for others to succeed, and he often hosts a late night/early morning music/talk show depending on his med school rotation (he's currently off rotation).

personality

parallel 1: peeta mellark (the hunger games trilogy) – generally very kindhearted, loyal, amiable, good with people, appears brave even if he really isn't. love the phrase on the hunger games wiki that says "he is gentle, but not a pushover." will keep you on your toes though (if it weren't for the baby) and isn't shy, often doesn't take his perception of himself too deeply. maybe a little naive at times?

parallel 2: ben wyatt (parks & recreation) – a bit blunt, logical, takes his work seriously, critical thinker, responsible, able to gauge situations well. will stare into an imaginary camera if you say dumb shit. kind of silly and might make a fool of himself at times because of it (no ice town yet thank god).

the type to: easily remember faces and names, order your favorite takeout or bring you coffee without question if you're down (will remember your preferred place and order), give good advice, run on little to no sleep but function perfectly, crack jokes that probably won't land, offer to clean up after a party or will help pay for people who will, hold grudges, lowkey commit medical malpractice in order to do the right thing, hear people gossiping and subtly move closer to listen in even if he has no connection to them, and keep every movie stub, restaurant punch card, and lost button in a small box just because he wants to remember the good things in life

connection to penelope

maybe not her #1 hater but probably in the top 12.

they were family friends because their mothers did their medical residencies together, bringing both the seos and cabots together for dinners after conventions and invites to each other’s annual holiday parties.

jude honestly never liked her, but at the wish of his mother, always had to fake a friendship. every time the pair interacted it was with gritted teeth and forced smiles.

started disliking her even more as they both attended prince, considering how she was the university's closest thing to an it girl and his fellow med students were always too impressed he knew the cabots since they were an established family in the field. jude also just didn't care for her ability to get away with most everything and thought she was super fake lol

dealt with his hatred by talking mad shit to people he trusted enough, but if he was drunk and she was in the room he would def let you in on it.

feels very neutral about her murder honestly he's like okay yeah this sucks but consider how annoyed i am of her.

wanted connections

friends ofc. friend groups... ride or die... unlikely friends...

maybe even friends who had a falling out... and jude loves to talk smack so let's get the rumor mill going or smth lmfao

other friends of penelope that he has one sided beef with just bc he doesn't like her

gonna be real idk if jude is the type to have time for romance atm but i would still love romance based plots, especially an ex that ended on horrible terms and they just hate each other <3

also would love a one-sided romance of some sort.

maybe they went out on two dates and they decided to kick it as friends and are now attached at the hip.

gut romantic wrenching hate plots of where they really love each other but things just can’t work out for one way or another.

i feel like jude is the emergency contact for at least two people. he's not a dad friend specifically ... but he's just reliable. like if u decide to do drunk back flips off a dumpster and injure yourself, you already know you're showing up to jude's door first kinda vibe lmfao

neighbors in montgomery!

since he's in the tutoring club, basically anyone he would tutor. i imagine he def helps out with biology and anatomy but if we have to make it relevant let's make it relevant. he could proofread your papers if he put his mind to it!

give me smth like sleepless in seattle esque ... i imagine jude has an irregular show on prince's college radio station, specifically late into the night. maybe your muse calls in every once in a while to request songs or he just takes stories to yap about or something and at least jude has no idea who the other person is but he is kind of obsessed with them in one way or another. maybe the one-sided romance? oh???

plots before prince? maybe people he knew during his undergrad? other childhood friends? or family friends? i am open to a lot and lowkey would be pretty flexible to things location wise as long as it's in the general area of ny/nj. if you have wanted connections for the past come at me!!!!

barbara is not easily defined. she is beautiful, intelligent, aristocratic, and perceptive, yet prone to calculated moments of cruelty and manipulation, which she strives to hide beneath a façade of gentility and academic & social success. her personality is marked by a desire for freedom and power, a fear of social scandal (which does lead to her being painted as boring or a stick-in-the-mud by the General Publique), and a tendency towards boredom and destructive behaviour.

her mother is the eldest daughter of an english earl and his american equestrian wife (herself hailing from a media empire family). her side is wealthy with a capital W, primarily from the revenue earned by their estates and assets, as well as the typically horrific manners by which generational wealth is passed down. the de polignac's, however, have that shabby chic nobility vibe going for them, aided by the whole french thing. her paternal great (x5) grandmother was besties with marie antoinette; she has what the tiktok old money girlies wish they had.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

II. PERSONALITY & PRESENCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Vibe Check / First Impressions

All swagger, all charm — the kind of guy who can sell you a lie with a wink and make you thank him for it. A flirt with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. Most people either want him or want him gone.

✧ Aesthetic Notes:

→ Tom Ford sunglasses hung on his collar like armor

✧ What keeps them up at night? The idea that no matter how loud he is, someone else’s legacy will always speak louder

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

III. REPUTATION & LEGACY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Campus Reputation:

The golden boy with bad timing. Your favorite campus crush until he opens his mouth. Known for scandalous hookups, almost fights at parties, and his viral radio segments. Professors claim he has “natural leadership potential.” Everyone else says he’s all talk.

✧ Whispers and Rumors:

→ “He cheated on Penelope, like everyone knows that.”

→ “He’s only in the Ten because of his mom’s connections.”

→ “He used to cry before soccer games. Now he just breaks things.”

✧ Family Background / Wealth Origin:

Grayson is the product of generational oil wealth and new money fame.

→ His mother is an heiress to a Southern oil fortune but reinvented herself as the CEO of a luxury fashion empire (Kingsley Label).

→ His father is a former pro athlete turned fitness mogul, founder of a luxury gym chain with franchises in major U.S. cities and Dubai.

→ Together, they are Prince’s power couple royalty — and Grayson lives in their shadow.

✧ Net Worth / Status:

→ Generational Wealth + New Money

→ His trust fund has its own financial advisor

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

IV. RELATIONSHIP WITH PENELOPE CABOT-SINCLAIR

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ Nature of Their Relationship:

Penelope was his first love, his high school sweetheart, the golden girl to his reckless prince. Their romance was picture-perfect on the outside and fire-and-ice behind closed doors. They broke up either right before or during freshman year at Prince. The reason? A betrayal no one has confirmed — but everyone assumes was Grayson.

✧ Duration of Relationship:

Together for almost two years in high school. Separated before or early into their freshman year at Prince. The breakup was messy, public, and gossiped about endlessly.

✧ Key Memories or Moments:

→ Homecoming crowns. Matching corsages. First I-love-yous whispered in the back of his dad’s G-Wagon.

→ Screaming fights in dorm hallways. Late-night texts that went unanswered.

→ He still keeps a photo of them — folded in his wallet, behind his fake ID.

✧ Last Known Contact Before Her Death:

Grayson wanted to talk to Penelope that night. Said he “just wanted to catch up,” maybe see if they could be friends. He went looking for her at the lake — her favorite quiet spot. But when she didn’t show, he left… after getting a text from a girl he was hooking up with.

→ “Look, I showed up. That’s more than most exes would do.”

✧ Unspoken Feelings / Regrets:

He never told her he was sorry. He never told her he loved her one last time. And he might never admit that losing her hit him harder than he lets on.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

V. INVESTIGATION NOTES

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✧ FBI Interviewed?:

Yes — once formally, once “casually” in his suite. He’s charming enough to stay out of handcuffs… for now.

✧ Alibi for Midsummer Night (11pm–2am):

He says he was “bar-hopping, flirting, being unforgettable.” Gray admits to going to Nassau Lake around 12:30 AM to find Penelope, then leaving after getting a hookup text. Claims to have texts and snaps to back it up.

✧ Connection to the Ten of Pentacles:

→ Current Member

→ Inducted early thanks to family influence, charm, and athletic prestige. He’s loyal — but often reckless. Some of the Ten see him as a liability.

✧ Public vs Private Reaction to Penelope’s Death:

Publicly? He says it’s a tragedy and the media should back off.

Privately? He hasn’t slept well in weeks. Avoids the lake like it’s cursed.

✧ What Are They Hiding?:

There was a voicemail Penelope left him a week before she died. He deleted it before the FBI got to it. And there’s a part of him — ugly and guilt-wracked — that thinks he should’ve stayed at the lake that night.
