6. Ophelia

Ophelia struggles with insomnia and trauma from her parents' helicopter crash at Sorrowsong, while conducting secret research into the incident. She enlists Divya's help to access maintenance records and attempts to break into Carmichael's locked office, only to discover her dorm room has been entered and her bed deliberately made—a deliberate violation that suggests someone is watching her.

Ophelia has been tormented by Sofia throughout the week for perceived disloyalty to Vincenzo. She lies awake at night, devastated by the trauma of her parents' deaths in a Green Aviation helicopter crash near Sorrowsong and triggered by a staff shuttle taking off that evening. Unable to sleep, she researches Alex Corbeau-Green online, learning he is twenty-three, dropped out of Yale's architecture program four years ago, and has a suspiciously clean public image. She harbors a conviction that Alex's father, Cain Corbeau-Green, is responsible for her parents' deaths and seeks revenge. Desperate to find answers, Ophelia contacts Divya in the library and reveals the truth: her parents—a chef and gardener—died in the staff helicopter crash years ago. She shows Divya her final messages with her father, which include a cryptic warning to "stay away from Cain Green." Divya agrees to help her access maintenance logs and documentation from the week of the crash. Later, while exploring the castle at night, Ophelia attempts to access a hidden door behind a painting of Achlys in the chapel. Carmichael appears suddenly, startles her, and offers to let her inside his office, but his unsettling demeanor causes her to refuse and flee. When she returns to her dormitory room, she discovers it has been unlocked and her bed has been deliberately made—evidence that someone has entered her room and is monitoring her movements.
