The Shared Cup Incident
- Victim
- Jonah Reed
- Window
- 18:40-19:20
- Details
- during the community office's evening work period.
Jonah Reed, the community organiser, was found seriously harmed at the small office suite during the evening work period. By morning, neighbours were trading worried guesses, and the centre's usual bustle had gone quiet. You know what happened to Jonah. You do not yet know how, or who was there when it happened.
The victim
Jonah Reed organised the neighbourhood centre and knew how to make a crowded room feel welcoming. He was patient with people who needed help, but he expected the centre to keep honest records. You can guess that did not make him popular with everyone.
