[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

I get to be like phantom and make a long post to defend myself!

As the phantom has noted, with 5 votes left to cast it remained possible that other villagers would show up at the end of the Day to vote for Alcarillo (or even Kath or Glirdan, both of whom had 2 votes) so she could well have been voting to save a fellow Wolf.

I knew it would look strange as soon as I made it. I had thought it odd that so few people had voted when it was so far along, and I was waiting to see if anyone else materialized before I cast my vote. I could make neither head nor tail of anyone's actions over the course of the day, and I did, indeed, panic when I realized it was 7:29 and I still hadn't posted. I saw a dangerous tie, and I thought incorrectly that it would be the lesser of two evils to vote for the person who had never posted rather than Alcarillo, who I thought was just flying blind like the rest of us. I did (and do) believe that the wolves are active among us, but as to who they are, I'm clueless, since I am not one of them.

You'd learn nothing from my death (which seems rather likely) since I'm innocent. (And by saying this I have just made myself even more suspicious. Being quiet is suspicious, voting is suspicious, defending oneself is suspicious...What can a girl do?)

I would much rather kill somebody we find connected to Alcarillo and determine from their. Such as Azaelia.

I'm curious. What does my death prove, assuming (truthfully) that I am innocent? And how, exactly, am I connected to Alcarillo ?

*Snip*
Was she an innocent who felt it her duty to vote, and so she, not knowing in the least who to vote for, simply tacked on her vote to the favorite of the day?

Bingo. I panicked and did just that.
