[Ainaserkewen]

Whatever I have done to raise suspicions or offend (especially you Eomer) I am truly sorry. Please, say what I must do to clear my name and consider it done.

I am consciously not letting my mind wander to any suspicion without logical cause. Everyone, as was said earlier, is taking very different roots to catch these killers, and I suppose I am not different. I have no clever theories or accusations such as the rest have. I don't know if I admire you for coming to such colourful and strong conclusions, or to feel frightened that someone's wayward glance will be drawn to me. However, I must chose mustn't I?

The first choice, as many said, was so difficult and without any real information like we found out our victim completely innocent and with barely a defence. I don't want to end up another victim with no cause. But this is the reason I voted so concisely. I had no reason, though I paid close attention to the arguments at hand, and chose according to my own mind's workings. I was wrong, and I am sorry.

Though I don't have any theories of my own to whom might be the killers, I do read carefully the theories of others. So far, though I don't want to "band together", as was referenced in an earlier word of mine, with him, the Barrow Wight has the coolest head for these things. Whether his cool head is that of a killer, I don't know, but his words sound as true as bells on a Sunday morning. I don't wish to vote yet, but I do respect your opinions, dear mason.

My time has run out. Do I vote for those who would soon have me hanging and buy into this reasoning? Or do I cower behind the decisions of those would know more about the world than I? I'm not old enough to make such decisions!
