Handful of Sand Interlude 6

Hello, there. This is Selina here in the Narration Room. With this we conclude Handful of Sand. Hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed acting in it.

Then again, I had a kick-ass mysterious character. So of course, I enjoyed it.

As to any loose ends, there are clues here and there in the story to help you make a good enough guess to address them.

Like the reason why Selina protects Sandy, even though she isn't the heiress. For that, you have to know what Selina's job was. Detective Brunel mentioned that it was to protect the heiress.

Now remember that Nick thought he had found the heiress by observing Selina.

See how it all fits together?

Take a few moments to think about it. If you still can't get it, you're not suited for mercenary work. Get a desk job or something behind a counter.

Got it? No? Give up? Or do you want to check your answer?

If you have an answer that you think is good enough, then good. Regardless of whether your answer is right or wrong, you are capable of reasoning. Able to work with information to come up with answers is an important life skill. If you are uncertain, then you should think some more until you are.

Okay, here's the answer. Last chance to stop reading if you still wish to ponder about it some more.

Sandy was a decoy. The best way to protect the heiress was to divert attention elsewhere. Because of that, the heiress got to live a peaceful life up until the time she inherited her wealth.

It wasn't Selina's original intention, though. She just stumbled across it when Nick relentlessly assumed that Sandy was the heiress. With the real heiress so close, the best way to protect her was to encourage Nick's assumption.

The original tracers in Sandy's sneakers and puppy figurine were placed long before Nick came into the picture. When you have a friend as troublesome as Sandy is, you would want to keep an eye on her too. Naturally, when Nick found those tracers, he assumed that Sandy was the heiress.

And there you have it.

Are there any other loose ends?

Who is Selina? There are some clues here and there. Enough for you to guess that she is a...

Last chance to look away...

Okay, she's a kunoichi. She went a bit overboard when she first started since it was her first time in a public school. Training had been a large part of her life and had robbed her of public-schooling experience. So she was excited to finally get the chance to go to school.

Unfortunately, kunoichis specialize in doing things behind the scene. So we don't get to see much of what Selina does. Maybe next time we'll have a gung-ho soldier protect Sandy. That'll guarantee lots of explosions.

Did I miss any other loose ends? Well, you should be able to reason it out if I did.

Anyway, thanks for reading Handful of Sand. Hope you enjoyed it!
