At midnight, Inspector Vale discovered a dead violinist beneath the opera house, clutching a crimson envelope freshly sealed with wax. Rain hammered the glass canopy overhead, while distant applause faded through corridors that should have been empty for hours by then. Vale noticed the victim's fingers were stained blue, matching the peculiar ink smeared across every page inside the crimson envelope. A single wet footprint led away from the body, disappearing beneath the locked door of the director's private office upstairs. The director, renowned for charming audiences, had vanished before the final curtain, leaving his silver cane beside the orchestra pit. When Vale opened the envelope, he found a list of four names, including his own, written there in invisible ink. Behind him, the theater doors creaked, and someone whispered, "You should never have returned," before the hallway lights went dark.
