ARIA WINTERS
Kael doesn't say anything when Celeste walks in. He just turns the laptop around and presses play.
Eleven seconds, that's all it is. But those eleven seconds show Celeste's face, clearly, crouched over something on the floor of the guest wing hallway, and the expression she's wearing in that footage is nothing like the sweet, composed face she's got on right now.
She watches it. The room is dead silent, we’re all waiting for what her reaction would be. She’s silent fro a while after watching the clip, then suddenly, she bursts out laughing. A soft, small and confused laugh like she's just heard something ridiculous.
"Where did you even get that?" she says. "That's clearly doctored. Look at the lighting, it's completely wrong for that hallway."
I stare at her.
Kael stares
