"What's the difference between these two sections?"
Professor Wells studied the letter with a puzzled expression. Slowly, his brows furrowed as he noticed something
off.
"The first part talks about giving up, but there's still shesitation, sattachment to life. The second part,
though... it feels like a complete farewell."
"So?" Dean Larson asked, his frown deepening.
Sarah took over. "So, this wasn't written in one sitting. This suicide note was written in two different stages. The
real question is, why would she write it twice?"
Her voice grew heavier. "| suspect something happened to her afterward. Something that involved her mother."
"Is that just a theory?"
"For now, yes. But | intend to find out the truth."
Dean Larson nodded. Right now, though, the biggest issue was the situation at the school gates.
"Bring Tina's mother inside," he instructed.
Professor Wells nodded in agreement. They couldn't allow a grieving mother to remain at the gates, holding her
daughter's portrait and a protest banner.
A short while later, Professor Wells returned, looking defeated. "She refuses to cinside. She said you need to
go to her personally."
Adams University had never faced a scandal like this before.
In its long history, never had a student's death caused such an uproar.

If this situation wasn't handled properly, it wouldn't just damage the university-it would tarnish its hundred-year
reputation.
At the entrance, Mrs. Mendes knelt on the ground, her hair disheveled. Unlike her earlier outbursts, she no
longer screamed or wailed. Instead, she clutched Tina's black-and-white photo in silence, as if she had run out of
strength to cry.
Behind her, the bright red protest banner stood in stark contrast to the dull monochrof the portrait.
The clash between grief and public outrage made for a haunting image.
Above her head, the enormous Adams University sign loomed, glowing under the clear sky. The grand entrance
stood tall and imposing, almost pressing down on the frail, grieving woman.
Anyone passing by would feel a deep, instinctive pity for her.
The media hadn't left. Reporters remained stationed at the school gates, eager to capture any new development
as soon as it happened.
Professor Liu had been trying to reason with Mrs. Mendes for a long time, clearing his throat before speaking
again. "Mrs. Mendes, please calm down. Making a scene at the school gate like this is against the law, you know
that, right?"
Mrs. Mendes shot him a cold glare, her red, swollen eyes filled with resentment. "If it were your daughter who
died, could you stay calm? Adams University killed my child-that's the real crime! Instead of arresting her, you're
tellingI'm breaking the law?"
The crowd had grown larger, and many onlookers turned their eyes toward Professor Liu with hostility.
His tone softened. "Mrs. Mendes, the dean would like to speak with you. He wants to have a conversation about "
"This is how you show sincerity?" she interrupted, her voice rising with fury. "My daughter was a student at your
university! She went to a counseling session and then jumped to her death. And now you expectto just waltz
inside like everything is fine? Let's be clear, it was your school that killed my daughter!"
Her reddened eyes burned with anger as she looked around, fueling the outrage of the crowd.
As murmurs of discontent rippled through the onlookers, the university's entrance doors swung open, and Dean
Larson stepped out.
Professor Wells followed closely behind him. Sarah, however, had been asked to remain in the office.
Dean Larson's voice was calm but
firm. "Mrs. Mendes, if there is any
evidence that Miss Sanders iz, m
responsible, weaithdtolsrate it.
Howdver we have reviewed the
surveillance footage of her session
with Tina that evening, and there was
nothing inappropriate in their
conversation." The content is on

Mrs. Mendes turned her glare toward him. "And who are you?"
Professor Wells quickly stepped forward. "This is the dean of Adams University."
Before Mrs. Mendes could respond, the reporters quickly thrust their microphones toward Dean Larson.
"Dean Larson, what is your response to the allegations that your university's counselor caused a student's
death?"
"It's been reported that Miss Sanders
took over the ae offigs m
