As Maya drove to her parentsโ house, she reflected on her meeting with Toni. So, Tulsi had been doing research. This seemed to be a clue. Maybe she had found the story of the widow Thulasiโs murder or Achaleโs story in the archivesโhow easily the names came to mind; it was almost as if she really knew them well! In a way, she did; they had been on her mind quite often since sheโd been to the flat. Was Tulsiโs murder somehow connected to the story and Thulasiโs death in Middle Time? Toni had seemed reluctant to discuss the dance dramaโs script. Had Tulsi reproduced something she had found in her research? Some instinct had warned her not to mention the book. Had Tulsi been killed because she had stumbled upon something? What bearing could a centuriesโ old story have on modern secrets?
