Case #9970407

Statement of Katherine Rivera, regarding the death of her sister Emily. Original statement given April 7th, 1997.

You.

I don’t know what exactly you did, but your people murdered my sister.

Your workplace is really rather interesting, Ms. Hall, and while I certainly wasn’t in opposition of the place before, after what your hunters did to my sister--all because of you--I think the place has earned my hatred. Emily trusted you, despite your opposing sides she liked you, even as the Beholding and the Blindness clashed, Emily still enjoyed your company. And you sent the dogs after her scent when you decided you were done with her.

Do you realize how horrible that is?

Emily hadn’t even done anything wrong. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in your investigations. Investigations into what? 

You’re secretive, for a beholder. Was this really about the ritual? I doubt it. Emily didn’t even have a part to play in that.

Never reach out to my family again.

FOLLOW-UP NOTES

... For a number of reasons, this statement is confusing. Honestly, it reads more like a break-up letter, but worse, somehow. I have... no idea what the context is, or what exactly Natalie Hall did, or who Katherine and Emily Rivera are.

It’s... interesting? I guess? The hunting department doesn’t hunt regular people, so whatever was going on here had to have been supernatural. If not, then. I don’t know.

I don’t know what the Beholding or Blindness are, but I feel like the Beholding may have come up before? I’m not sure--it just seems familiar. I’ll have to double check.

Otherwise, there’s not really anything else I can do with this statement. Maybe I’ll have Caesar or Felix look into the Rivera family.
