The story presses onward as you gather in this now familiar "courtroom" to deliberate the deaths of two more of your number. By now there's more space for everyone with the population dwindling down to twenty, and by this weekend's end it will dip ever further. But maybe in a time like this more space is needed, though one most always be mindful of the clock.

Adora and Norton Campbell are dead, and the price must be repaid.

Thing is, those cookies didn't have to come from one of us. Huaisang confirmed that there wasn't anything in the oven, though the scent was stronger in that area. So either the killer did a good job cleaning up after themselves...

...or those cookies came straight from the bakery.

This teaches us not to get too heated. I completely forgot about the bakery as an option despite the fact that I take cookies from there every other day.

I could verify if they are from the bakery or not if we had them here, but...

I think it was mentioned that the poison could've been put on top of the cookies, too. Even if they weren't from the bakery...

[mathodical]

... Didn't Yuri mention that bitter almonds lose their toxicity when cooked?

Or another way-- heated?

It would make sense to use cooled cookies rather than freshly baked, hot ones.

[vogelfrei]

So we are either looking at cookies taken from the bakery or cookies baked during our regular week, before the sleep spell.

Considering cookies don't perish quickly, this unfortunately gives us a window of time that reaches far further back than just Thursday night.

But if we could verify the cookies are from the bakery, that whole question is right out to begin with.

I also suggested they could have been baked in the house where the oven was on... I'm still not sure how plausible that is, but I don't know if it can be ruled out completely either.

[incompletely]

That is a good point, and all of this goes to show that we can't pin this merely on people who know how to bake. Adora wouldn't have cared if those cookies were cold or fresh. She would've eaten them either way.

...that is possible, yes. We have almond cookies in the bakery, right? But would we able to tell the difference?

[vogelfrei]

I think I would at least be able to recognize cookies from the bakery visually - I am not about to taste test and I am not too fond of almond too begin with, so it wouldn't help either.

[eternaljune]

That's true...taste testing those cookies would be a bad idea, probably.
