Ms. Lily is standing by the front table, her hands on her hips, her smile completely gone.
"Class," she says, her voice low. "I have a terrible announcement. The Valentine cupcakes are... gone."
You rush over. Where the silver platter was, it is now totally barren. No platter, no cupcakes. Not a single crumb. Not a smear of frosting.
You look around the room. Three things stand out:
- Desk Mess: Kevin's desk, which is already the messiest desk in the world, now has a tiny, dark red smear of frosting on the corner.
- Open Window: The window, which was definitely shut before recess, is now cracked open just a little bit.
- Quiet Suspect: Maya, who usually runs around, is sitting silently at her desk, staring down at her shoes.
Which clue do you investigate?
