She asks for the original, then asks who is missing from it.
In the room
Rafa brings a forwarded cancellation notice. Elena asks him to track the first source instead of collecting more reposts.

Find the first source you can verify and note one limitation.
Keep the limits in view
She can help plan a reporting check. She cannot confirm a fictional event from an unrelated real source.
