Atticus approached Joana and stood in front of her without saying anything. He remembered her demeanor well.

He expected complete silence, but surprisingly, the opposite happened. Joana inched closer to Atticus and asked what had been on everyone's mind,

Atticus shook his head. "No. What I said was the truth. Like the instructor said, there was no foul play. I did what I did because I could do it, that's all."

A loud scoff sounded from behind him.
