“Yearbook photos?” Mal stopped walking, her mien growing sour again. “You- no, wait, you’re one of those true crime freaks, aren’t you?”

Image: Mal looking angry, her sharp front canines are bared and her ears are pulled back. She’s pointing an accusatory finger upwards. End description.

Mal and Cat stared at each-other with equal intensity. Phoebe couldn’t believe it; Mal hadn’t mentioned what high school she went to. Phoebe had no idea that it was the same one where his vision had taken place.

She hadn’t pressed him much about the investigation on the drive over. He was tired and talking about it only seemed to rile him up. Cat was usually over-eager to share his visions. Yuli running through the grass. A nightclub. A tender moment over breakfast, with a strange lover who was obviously not strange to the vision’s true owner. He’d even shown Phoebe a few of his deep sea visions featuring the headless Anima. But the murder of Bower? He’d kept his hands to himself.

Image: Three of Cat’s visions, each takes up a third of the image and they’re also blurring into each other. The first shows a grassy woodland with a black capped songbird sitting on a log. The Second shows a DJ’s turntable. The third shows Anima’s feet, floating in the water next to a group of tube worms and a rootlike structure. The first two visions are blurry, while the third is clear. End description.

Noting her gaze, Cat backed off slightly. “Yes. I suppose you could say that. I’ve been interested in the murders of James Bower and Nathan Garcia lately- some of the circumstances surrounding them are intriguing.”

“I know,” Mal said, “intrigue is all people like you ever care about. How much info do you have about me, if you’ve been looking through my yearbook photos? Do you spend a lot of time looking at pics of teen girls?”

“No! And I don’t know anything!” He threw his hands up. “I only recognized you from the yearbook, I promise. And I was only looking because I have reason to believe the killer was a student.”
