Music Recommendation: Blooming Truth - Byun Sang Hoo

—

When Sylvester appeared in the witness stand, it caused a ripple of murmurs through the audience. He had tried to stay brave, but it was hard. He saw Charles make his way towards him, 

"Mr. Crowley, can you tell us what was the nature of your relationship with your deceased neighbour, Margot Brooks?"

"We were nothing more than neighbours in the building. Miss Brooks attempted to express her interest in me, but I never reciprocated. A few days before her... demise, she was upset with me, accusing me of entertaining a woman in my apartment," Sylvester explained, adjusting his glasses.

"And did you?" Charles pressed.

"No. I haven't been involved with any woman since my ex-girlfriend passed away," Sylvester replied. "I loved Samantha... even though these allegations say I killed her. She's the only one I loved dearly."
