The Amazing Empath Detective Kankri Vantas -First Case-

It was certainly a messy situation. The shoe, the broken glass, the wet floor. A few drops of blood here and there. And, to top it all off, a very discontent Kankri Vantas, observing its every detail.
"So? Wwhat d'ya think?", a low and evidently amused voice sounded behind him, reminding Kankri of the fact that he was very much not alone. "Think ya knoww wwhat wwent dowwn in here?". The man puffed on his cigarette like it was no one's business, not minding at all that they were still within school grounds.
"Surely you do not believe the rummors, do you, mister Ampora?", Kankri grunted his response with a roll of the eyes, "I have no such thing as 'psychic powers', so I can't truly know what happened in here by just looking at it".
"Oh, but you'vwe got a good head ovwer those firm shoulders o'yours", had he just chuckled?, "I don't think there's such a thing as superpowwers, but I knoww a smart enough guy could figure this out. And I'vwe been told you're one of the smartest ones 'round here".
Kankri shifted uncomfortably. He knew about Cronus Ampora's reputation alright, and he didn't want to be sucked in by his charms. He truly had a way with people, as arrogant as he obviously was, and that was probably the reason why he had been assigned with the task of recruiting the cancer for this school-age detectivesque ordeal.

A little context might be useful for what the rest of the story will present us with. Kankri Vantas was a slightly normal young man, attending his last year of high school. He had a father and a younger brother, with whom he didn't really have much of a healthy relationship, sadly. He was planning to major in Social Studies, and could not wait to leave the hell that had been high school buried deep behind in his past. He had no real friends, no relationships, no interest other than his blog and many social causes no one dared to ask him about, because of his tendency to babble about them for hours. Also, he was an empath.
'A what?', the reader must be wondering. It's pretty simple, actually; Kankri was able to know and even feel what others were feeling, by just standing close to them. Sometimes, when he was specially sensitive, he could even see images from the mind of a person he'd touch. This handy little ability of him had brought him many troubles in the past, and now, standing at the entrance of that classroom, he understood it had been too long since the last time that'd happened; he was long overdue.

"I'm afraid there isn't much I can do", Kankri lied with expertise, "but I don't really see the problem. Some students must have gotten into a fight here, there is not much of a mystery".
"So, you're tellin' me some students must hawve slipped inside the school at night, in the middle of their summer vwacation, only to have a fight and leave, managin' not to appear in the vwigilance's tape? Just because?", he could feel Ampora raising an eyebrow in that cocky way he had of telling you you were absolutely fucking wrong.
"Maybe", Kankri shrugged, "I really don't see the need to think to much about-"; his sentence was cut mid-way by his yelping. Cronus had placed a hand on his shoulder in what he had probably intended to be a serious attempt to talk to him. But it was right then that Kankri could not control his brain, and ended up getting into Ampora's.
He saw a younger Cronus yelling at him. No, it was someone else. His little brother, or cousin, maybe? His words seemed to be coming from far, far away, and he could barely hear anything over the persistent sound of rain this memory carried with it. Soon, it changed to the sight of a letter written entirely with letters that were obviously cut off from magazines and newspapers. He couldn't focus very well, because his sight was blurry, and there were tears pouring out of his eyes; angry tears of worry. He could see something about a ransom, but the vision changed before he could make sense of anything else. He was talking on the phone, and now he was looking at Kankri himself from the side, with mixed feelings of lust, and worry for someone else on the other hand.

When he opened his eyes, he was laying on the floor.

"VWANTAS!"
