      The paper was full of Kelly's notes, and in the school magazine, there was a class photo of the class I was in. On some people's heads, it read "Found"; beside some of them, it read "Au-suet's good friend, but went to Australia". Anyhow, there were different comments for different people, and beside Au-suet's photo, she drew a big question mark, and it read "Big secret? Hurt?".
