Who is to profit from it?

Jim: Well, let's think about it... Fortunately, there aren't fifty of us. We can strike off you, me, Jack, Jenny and Bill – we have nothing to gain from it. The Underground is busy as it is, I assure you. Not ordinary members either. So it must be the Puppeteer's pupils. I doubt that Isami would do something like this, but Ryan, on the other hand… Hm. Remember the flame show? Do you think he was trying to get even with Alice? Although it might be easier to simply ask him.

Task: Go through the attic in the shadows mode.

Ryan is sitting in front of monitors with a glass of wine.

Jim: Hello. What do you think of Alice?

Ryan: She's a fool.

Jim is blinking, surprised. He comes closer. You notice several empty bottles on the floor.

Jim: Ryan?

Ryan: What?

Jim: Are these new?

The man closes his eyes, leans back in his chair.

Ryan: I have nothing to do.

Jim: Why don't you leave?

Ryan: Because he's here.

Ryan points towards the monitors, at the picture of the winter garden. Matt is sitting under one of the tubs with palm trees, and next to him is...

Jim: Alice?

Ryan: They are talking all the time. Seem to have gotten along well...

Jim: Are you listening to them?

Ryan: I have. They were reminiscing… Nonsense.

Jim: Ryan, who could have controlled the Followers?

Ryan: Why control them? She and John seem to be more than enough.

Jim: But someone has been doing it.

Ryan straightens up abruptly, winces. Sets the glass aside.

Ryan: Who?

Jim: That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Ryan: Not you, and not me...

Ryan turns to the monitors, presses a few keys.

Ryan: Damn. Get out, I need to adjust sound.

You completed Jim’s task. Your reputation among the Followers has increased by 1. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.

Jim: Apparently, it wasn't him. And he hurried to listen to her conversation with Matt. Is he suspecting him?
