not to mention that it just seems bizarre that a woman would kill another for too many other reasons that an affair gone wrong- she coulda been killed i suppose for hitting on a boyfriend of the other woman, but it seems like others woudl have picked up on that- the fact that she was shot multiple times seems to indicate rage- maybe there is another explanation, but seems like a lover’s rage might be the answer- she may have been embarrassed about being a lesbian and not told her parents and friends like you suggest- perhaps fearing rejection by her family- but who knows- the woman who shot her knows, and isn’t talking i guess-
Flee youthful lusts which war against the soul. You can’t play with fire and not get burned. Thou shalt not lie. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Idiots with guns or any weapon is a no-no.
That should cover all the routine sound advice maxims that were broken. I would guess there is an algorithm that plugs in different factors which leads to physical harmful actions.
Great plot summary. Where is Stendal when he is needed, or even Capote.
