## Events Of Zorro Island

### Grease Lightning

Aurora was flagged as a suspect when Ellis Mandelio and the player found out that Aurora was the one who had texted Ellis, as she seemed very shocked and very traumatised to have found Melody dead on the stage. She went on to explain that Melody had just gone off to call her mom and ask if she was there, and then Aurora had seen her body from a mile away. Aurora then told the detectives that everyone with a major role in the play had their own dressing room, and although she had quit, she had a key to Melody's, helping the detectives have a look around in there.

Aurora was spoken to again by Ellis and the player (this time in the presence of Alita) when she attempted to shave her hair off after locking herself in a dressing room. Aurora admitted that Melody had yelled at her the day before for no apparent reason, which led to a fierce confrontation between the pair, which led Melody to tell Aurora she couldn't do anything, *ever* to impress her parents, because she was a disappointment. Ellis seemed shocked by this, as Aurora promised that she didn't murder Melody, before leaving sadly.

Aurora was found to be innocent when Jonah Grimm was arrested for the murder, but was introduced formally by the player when Ellis attempted to introduce some of their friends.

### Dead Smart

Aurora was spoken to when her pink polaroid was found in a pool of blood at the botanical garden. Shocked by this, she insisted that she had dropped her camera way before the murder had occurred, as she admitted she was devastated to find that Jan was dead. She then went on to say that she hadn't really known Jan that long, but they were good friends and she thought he was hilarious. She then said that the sky had gained a star now that Jan had died, as she hoped he would rest in peace.

Aurora was spoken to again when a bouquet of flowers was found addressed to her from Jan in the alleyway. Aurora admitted that Jan had a thing for her for a while, but she had rejected him since she had a boyfriend. She then said that that was months ago, and he had bought her flowers because she had been put on the waiting list for the Young Artists program, which Ellis then told Aurora she had also gotten into. The pair briefly celebrated before Axelle and the player got Ellis back on topic, as they thanked Aurora and left.

Aurora was found to be innocent when Yves Moreau was arrested for the murder, but he later revealed that Aurora was a member of the Secret Society.
