William Gerardo is dead. That thought kept repeating in my head like a broken record that's been played too many times. I stood there just staring at his body for who know's how long just staring. Eventually movement came back to my body and I ran out of the library. I ran all the way to the kitchen in the cafeteria. I was breathing hard. not from running but from seeing another friend dead.
" Kouki, what's wrong? " Kagura said as she finished the last pancake.
I was about to speak when Monokuma appeared on a nearby monitor.
" A body has been discovered. After a certain amount of time, which you may use however you like, the Class Trial will begin. " Monokuma said.
" Where? " Kagura simply asked.
" The library. " I answered.
Kagura and I walked silently to the library. When we got there several people were already there. Megan, Katsu, Milo and Cleo were gathered around the body. Soon everyone else arrived.
" Dam it, another one has happened. " Ramos said.
" B-But why, sure William was kind of a jerk but who would want to kill him? " Megan asked.
" That is exactly what we're here to find out. " Kagura said.
" Sounds like you'll be needing this. " Monokuma said as he again popped out of nowhere.
" I give to you the Monokuma file #2, enjoy. " Monokuma said as he disappeared.
Our Ephones buzzed, indicating we've received the new file. I opened the notification, wanting to get this over with. The file read: Victim's name is William Gerardo, the Ultimate Songwriter. Time of death is 10:30 pm. Cause of death is a single sharp object. That's it, well at this point I'll take anything I can get. I looked aroun and it looked like everyone else had finished reading the file.
" I'll get started on the autopsy. " Cleo said.
" Please, allow me to assist. " Katsu said.
Cleo and Katsu walked over to the body and began to examine it.
" We should talk to them later, see what they've discovered. " Kagura said.
" Yeah, let's start looking around. " I said.
Monokuma file #2 has been added to the Truth bullets.
I checked around the library for anything unusual. I found nothing out of the ordinary, like no forced entry at all. Which tells me that the killer either hid in here before William came in or he trusted the killer or thought nothing of them when they entered. Either way I think I can rule out forced entry. Looking at the body and the amount of blood currently on the table I can say with certainty that the injury that caused that amount of blood to be spilt was at least administered here in this room.
Lack of forced entry has been added to the Truth bullets.
Theorized position of the Killer has been added to the Truth bullets.
Amount of Blood on the table has been added to the Truth bullets.
" Hey Cleo you done with the autopsy yet? " I asked.
" Yeah, I guess. I was able to confirm a lot of what the Monokuma file says except it forgot to mention that there are two injuries. One stab wound to the heart and the other is a slash wound across the neck. The problem is I can't tell which one killed him and which one was added after death. There appears to be no sign of struggle so I have to assume the killer took William by surprise. His death was instantaneous so no dying message. " Cleo said.
" Thank you Cleo, if you don't mind I'd like to take a closer look. " I said.
" Go ahead. " Cleo said.
I starting looking through William's body
" Sorry William but this is to find your killer. " I said.
I found nothing unusual until I got to his hands. They were clutched around something, but what I couldn't tell. I used all my strength to open his hand and a piece of paper fell out. I picked it up and read it. I have what you want...Come to...at...come alone. Sounds like somebody wanted somebody to come to the library at an unknown time and it appears to have ended in William's death. Then I noticed something, a spot in the blood spill that looks like it formed a star except the top point was curved in a circle fashion and the points on the rest of the star like shape were only slightly curved. Then i noticed a few drops on the table, almost as if something soaked up the blood and was carried away.
Cleo's autopsy has been added to the Truth bullets.
Mysterious letter has been added to the Truth bullets
" Hey Kouki, I'm finished here but I have a place I want to check out. Want to come along? " Kagura asked.
" Sure. " I said.
We traveled all the way to the kitchen. We walked up to a knife set hanging on the wall but something was off about it, a knife was missing.
" I noticed a knife was missing when I came here to make pancakes but I quickly forgot about it. However when I saw William's body I knew that the two were connected. You see what I see. " Kagura said.
" Yeah but which weapon was murder weapon and which wasn't. " I said.
" It's obvious which is the murder weapon. " Sayu said.
I turned around and saw Sayu standing in the doorway. This seems to be happening a lot I've noticed.
" Sayu, do you know who killed William? " I asked.
" I have a good guess. " Sayu answered.
" Would you like to share your opinion, it could be critical to the case. " I said.
" If I did that then you wouldn't be able to reach closure. " Sayu said.
" People's lives are on the line. " Kagura said.
" Which is why I'll share my opinion during the Class Trial no sooner or later. " Sayu said as she left.
Monokuma then appeared on a monitor.
" Soo have you had enough traumatic events for one evening. Well tooo bad cause we're about to start the Class Trail. You all know where to go. "
Missing knife has been added to the Truth bullets.
Minutes later we all stood in front of the crimson door. Slowly one by one we entered the door. Finally I remained outside the door, strengthening my nerves I entered. Prepared for a deadly Class Trial.
Author's notes
While I did not submit an OC to the Spera dig, I was still interested in it and I'm sad to see it go. I could just tell it was going to be good. Until next time.
Question: Who do you think the blackened is?
