The Summoning

The Summoning (Case #26) is the twenty-sixth case of the game.

Case Background
The victim was a Cooper High scholar named Simon Armstrong, who was found lying dead in his own blood with symbols (occult drawings of pentagrams) carved into his chest. The killer was Ophelia Lincoln, a high schooler and the friend of the victim.

Ophelia had a mental problem and suffered from lapse of memory. One night, while she was in a crypt helping Simon, she suddenly had a nightmare and saw all sorts of weird things. She was out of her mind and, as a result, she killed Simon without any thinking. Since Ophelia had no control over her actions due to her illness, she was ordered to stay 3 years in Grimsborough Psychiatric Hospital, at the end of which the court would reevaluate the sentence.
