Ellie's sensitive werewolf nose caught a whiff of something unusual as they entered the bathroom. Her keen senses immediately detected the scent of blood, and her eyes quickly focused on the source—a pool of crimson liquid on the bathroom floor. There was no sign or trace of its source, but the sight alone sent shivers down her spine.
Miss Katherine, on the other hand, remained vigilant. She had no intention of putting Ellie in harm's way or becoming a subject of inquiry herself. The sight of the pool of blood was alarming, and it raised numerous questions about what had transpired in the bathroom.
Moreover, the identity of the person to whom the blood belonged was still a mystery. Miss Katherine knew they needed to exercise caution and not jump to conclusions. The situation was far from clear, and they couldn't afford to make hasty judgments.
