21	!!Tropes:
22	* AcademyOfAdventure: Even if most of your "adventures" deal with solving murders, you'll sure have a lot to do in this district.
23	* ArcVillain: The Rorschach Reaper AKA Tess Goodwin, a SerialKiller who hypnotizes students into killing their friends or relatives they hold a grudge against.
24	* ArcWords: "[[IDidWhatIHadToDo The right thing]]" is said multiple times by various killers as their justification for why they decided to murder. We later learn that this originates from the The Rorschach Reaper's hypnotism.
25	* BigBadFriend: Even if she's a crazy SerialKiller who tried to kill you, Tess' [[{{Fangirl}} admiration for you]] seems to be entirely genuine by the end.
26	* ChekhovsGun: The inkblot test which appears several times as an inconspicuous non-clue in various crime scenes of the district is later revealed to be a part of the Rorschach Reaper's MO, acting as their CallingCard.
27	* ADayInTheLimelight: Alex gains a lot of prominence during this district, mainly due to his friendship and eventual relationship with Cathy. He even gets to be your partner during a case.
28	* ElevatorSchool: {{Implied}} during Case 40, since the murder happens in an elementary school within the campus grounds.
