The Murders
"I guess what he's saying, Justin, is that we can't tell if anyone or everyone is as we think they are--or as we want to think of them. We just need to be careful, even among people we don't--can't fathom being against us. I wouldn't get terribly offended if you were a bit more cautious around me if it would ensure your safety," Ernie said, more to Justin than to anyone else. It didn't or shouldn't take a genius to remind him or anyone of what such times were like.
"What you're saying happened to Bianca is certainly anomalous, so it would be a good idea to investigate this carefully. No one else that we know of has had visions of Pandora that first night, but we should try to find out whether anyone else experienced this. Thanks for relaying this to us from Lavender, Michael. It's not easy being the messenger of some unsavory news." He was still struggling with the news. Like Justin, he knew Bianca from Hogwarts and considered her the best sort of person. But he tried his best to be objective--he knew what he needed was more information, to piece together and come up with his own conclusions. "I can try investigating a bit further at work." He also considered when he would next have time to speak to Bianca.
