The sad part is that it's entirely possible she'll get away with it. Pia wasn't exactly facing her when the push happened, and even if she was I wouldn't be surprised if she her memory of falling ends up fuzzy because of the shock. Honestly, I feel like the only way anyone finds out is if she is somehow guilted into confessing

Also, it was a deliberate storytelling choice only to imply what happened, and ms. Curtois has been set up to be an awful person in the narrative, so this to me feels like a "Peter who cried wolf" scenario, now don't get me wrong I think she does deserve to become accused, but as someone who has a hard time coping IRL with not being believed when I'm being truthful (one of the reasons I can't play games like Among Us) getting accused of something I didn't actually do despite it being perfectly rational that I could or would have done it, really triggers me, so that's where I'm coming from with this I suppose.

Not-so-fun fact: it's not uncommon for people who suffer physical trauma to lose their memory of the moments just before the trauma. So it might well be that Pia doesn't remember being pushed over the cliff -_-

Finally. It won’t be suspicious at all that you were standing frozen in shock in front of the cat food right before you gallantly reported the “accident.” Good luck, gremlin.

That little doggo, digging in its claws to stop slipping off her arms in the bottom left panel. Because old lady in state of shock forgot that she's carrying a dog.

"If it did happen, it wasn't my fault."
It's skipped a few steps, but the monster is still on track.

Told you she was gonna pull the "She fell" defense... Now, will it be believed?

Mme Courtois has gained one esteem point with that. She now stands at -98126 esteem points, which is very low, but more than -98127.
