Investigation 3-1: A Sea Of Doubts
"Ayano!" Mirabilis calls out to me. She then runs to me, purposefully avoiding looking at Naoko's body. The young girl grabs me by my arms since she is too short to reach my shoulders. "Who else is dead!?"
"...Kyoto..."
"We have to find out who did this! But...I have something else to do!" Mirabilis hurries out of the room, not noticing some of her rose petals fell out of her bag and onto the floor, and leaving me alone with Takayuki and Namita. Namita and I make eye contact and she signals me towards her. When I reach the two of them, there is a familiar beep.
"I'll make whoever did this pay," Takayuki murmurs under his breath. Upon further analysis, I see that his arms now have marks. The killer must have used something at the crime scene to make them stay on with Takayuki's lack of hands.
"Do you remember anything?" I ask him. Surely, I hope for answers, but, at this point, I highly doubt anything would be that easy. Takayuki stares at me as I seemed to forget his Forbidden Action. I would have to get Takara to translate him since he is the only one who can. After all, Takayuki might be the key to figuring out who killed both Kyoto and Naoko.
"Hm, let's just look at the clues Monokuma gave us." Namita then shows me and Takayuki her handbook.
Monokuma File #3
Victim-Naoko Kawabata, Ultimate Child Prodigy
Height-Five feet even
Weight-Ninety pounds
Chest Size-Only Takayuki and Mirabilis will get this information. ;)
Age-Fourteen
Blood Type-O+
Birthday-November Third
The victim is Naoko Kawabata.
The body was discovered in the old building.
The estimated time of death is 2:45 AM.
Naoko's cause of death is suffocation.
Before death, Naoko was tortured to the brink of despair. She has twenty-one stab wounds all over her arms, legs, and other parts of her body. Her neck is almost completely destroyed due to having an extreme amount of force applied to it a multitude of times.
Monokuma File #4
Victim-Kyoto Kamui, Ultimate Strategist
Height-Six feet, two inches
Weight-One hundred and ninety-five pounds
Chest Size-Why is this still here? You know what, I'm just gonna remove it from all further files.
Age-Sixteen
Blood Type-AB
Birthday-You guys should remember this. Literally, the last case was during his birthday party.
The victim is Kyoto Kamui
The body was discovered in the forest.
The estimated time of death is 8:34 AM.
Kyoto's cause of death was internal bleeding due to a gunshot wound.
He was shot in the stomach. Due to the killer not doing it correctly, this caused Kyoto's death to be more drawn out than most stomach gunshot wound victims.
Truth Bullet #2: Bullet Casings
In the forest, there are bullets that are hidden in the bushes that were discovered by Ayano Nishiki, Tsukiko Oda, and Takara Miyagi.
Truth Bullet #3: Torture Room
Naoko Kawabata and another potential victim, Takayuki Anno, were both found in a room that was turned into one for torture. Takayuki was handcuffed to one of the branches near the wall while Naoko was forced onto the table.
Truth Forest #4: Forest Trap
Inside the forest, there is a trap. Ayano Nishiki fell into it while she was investigating.
The trap was hidden underneath leaves. It is one of the caves on this island. The cave acts as a hole that is about eight feet tall. Escaping alone is near impossible but it can be done with more than one person or some rope.
Truth Bullet #5: Mixed Blood
Blood was found on the grounds of the cave. It is a mix of dry and wet blood. Some of the blood belongs to Kyoto, while the rest of it belongs to his killer.
"This seems like a case that will have a lot of clues," I note. Usually, when there are two deaths, there is more evidence, meaning that the killer is more easily found. Though the amount of evidence did not make the second case easier than the first. Whatever, even if there was no evidence, I would find Kyoto's killer.
"I will reveal who did this to Naoko," Takayuki proclaims. He has the same determination in his eyes. Both of our eyes meet, automatically knowing we have the same goal.
"Well, we should investigate this area thoroughly. The smallest clue can lead to the downfall of the killer," Namita says. She puts away her handbook and we all nod at each other.
"Alright." I begin to look around the room around the desks. Takayuki is the one that handles the body while Namita handles the sides of the room. Let's find the evidence Kyoto's killer left in this room.
Examining the desks, I could see that they are arranged differently than before. Some of them are tipped over as well. It is easy to tell that there was a fight here. Naoko must have tried to fight off her killer before being constrained, most likely because she was much smaller than the attacker. Assuming the attacker was somebody bigger than her is part of the course but that does not erase anybody anymore.
There is something near the door I notice. Picking it up, I notice it was the dandelion hair tie Naoko wore. It is soaked with blood although it is far away from the body. Nothing else but where Naoko and Takayuki were restrained had traces of visible blood yet this hair tie does.
"Namita! Look at this!" I exclaim. Takayuki is too busy collecting all of the evidence from Naoko's body. Namita, coming from the corner she was examining, comes up to me to see what I pointed out.
"Hm, that's weird." Namita looks at it further. We both try to find the secrets of the hair tie, yet Akemi and Hotaru making their way through the door breaks our concentration.
"God, whose the ass who did this?" Akemi questions us.
"It's probably one of the people who were awake." Hotaru's response makes sense to me. But a part of me knows that it cannot be that easy. There is something going on here and we cannot jump to the easiest conclusion.
"We cannot eliminate anything yet," I comment. "If I was the killer, I would want people to believe that. Though there may be a chance that Naoko died before we were all put out."
"Alright, Ayano, if you truly believe that, maybe you should talk to Satoshi." Akemi does not seem to believe me. That is weird, even though he is an ass, he is a smart ass. Does Akemi know something that I do not?
"...Fucker." Before any of us could question what Takayuki meant, he storms out of the room. I could see that he is trying his hardest to keep himself from crying.
"Takayuki?" I question. Namita, Hotaru, and Akemi are exchanging facts with each other. They are distracted so I quickly make my way out of there. If somebody can help Takayuki, it is me. That pain in your heart is the hardest thing to go through, right Kazuhiko and Kyoto? Minato could also help him but nobody knows where they are.
I see Takayuki run into the next room over and I follow him inside. He is surprised to see me there with him. Takayuki tries to run away again but I grab onto his shoulder. That act of kindness shocks Takayuki as he faces to turn towards me. His innocent, baby blues eyes stare into mine with so much emotion.
"You better listen to me, Takayuki, since this is taking time away from finding Kyoto and Naoko's killer," I tell him. He nods his head with his eyes fixated on my hand that has not moved now. "What is this about?"
"..." Takayuki bites his lip as he still tries to suppress his tears.
"I said listen to me, Takayuki Anno! You are the Ultimate Private Investigator, you can do this! You investigated Akita and Shinichi's deaths, you can do this!" I then slap his cheek. Takayuki feels the hit with his stump of a hand. Tears then fall from his eyes.
"...You overestimate me, Ayano..." Takayuki remarks. Then I slap him again, getting the same reaction.
"Aren't you the one who says pity is for the weak or something like that!? Would Naoko like seeing you like this? Would Akita? No! Now get your shit together and start helping us!" I demand. The boy with me is taken slightly aback by my behavior but I could see his eyes sparkle moments after. He certainly has an idea.
"...Hideyoshi! This is his memo..." Then Takayuki's action starts to beep red. Realizing what he has done, Takayuki's eyes begin to dilate. "Shit! We have to go to the Hospital NOW. Help me, Ayano! This is really bad but I'm bigger than Shinichi, it won't affect me as quickly as it did for him!"
"Alright, alright. We are going but you are going to explain what you know to me. I know that you know more than the rest of us do."
"Ok..." I then lift Takayuki in my arms. "What do you think you're doing!?"
"The side effects of the poison will make you slower than usual. We cannot afford to waste time," I answer him. He is a lot lighter than I thought he was by looking at him. Guess it helps that Monokuma has still not returned Takayuki's normal clothes. By this point, nobody cares what anybody else looks like, the matter of survival is way more important than appearances.
"How does everybody connect to this? Especially Akita," I ask him. We are now just outside the old building, running quickly to the Hospital. It is a good thing that the two buildings are not that far from each other.
"Everybody is connected to the Committee...I'm hundred percent sure that even an idiot could figure that out." Takayuki is still the jerk I know so that means we still have time to save him from the poison. I do not want to be the cause of another death.
"What about Personality Experiment #045?"
"How do you know that?!" Takayuki questions me.
"There are files about it on the second floor." So Takayuki knows about the experiments? Was he paid from one of his outside sources to investigate them further? Takayuki does sell his information to the highest bidder, but, if that was the case, did Akita know about its existence? She could have possibly but not have known about her connections to it.
I arrive near the entrance of the main building. Mirabilis is indeed working on the graves like she said she would. She must be a lot stronger than I thought she was to do it all by herself. Then I walk up the stairs and open up the door to the building.
"It's that bitch Kotori...and that fucking traitor Hideyoshi...and that shit-eating snake Kaneshiro." Before we can talk more, I arrive at the Hospital. Both Takayuki and I look at each other and nod our heads. We are not to let the others know about our secret information. But it disturbs me that Takayuki knows Kaneshiro's name. Is Kaneshiro truly a member of the True Despairs that Takayuki knows about? He has been tracking them down for longer than I have known him. He explained that it had to do with something concerning his father.
When I open the door, I realize that Miyuki is still inside tending to both Yasu and Kira. She notices us and the horrible state that Takayuki is in.
"What happened to Anno-san?" she asks me as the device in her hands beeps. There must be a lot more evidence than I have not seen. I place him in the closest cot that I can find.
"He activated his action," I reply. Now I look for all the medicine Takayuki told us about from before and found that they are now all in here. Monokuma must have returned them to their proper places after what happened with Shinichi.
"I'll tell you what to do, Miyuki. Now begin investigating Ayano! Report back here with what you find in an hour or so!" Takayuki commands. I can see that Kira is looking at him with guilt in her eyes.
"Alright." I am about to leave the room before Miyuki stops me. She then pulls out her handbook.
"It would be best if you are up to date on the information, Nishiki-san," Miyuki explains herself. "This will be my big contribution to your goal of solving the murders. I am sorry I was not able to protect any of the victims."
"You do not need to apologize, Miyuki."
"If you say so, Nishiki-san. Here is the evidence that the others have gathered."
Truth Bullet #6-Bloody Hair Tie
There is Naoko's hair tie in an area that otherwise has no blood. It is strangely far away from the body.
Truth Bullet #7: Despair
Somehow Naoko Kawabata fell into despair while she was dying. Kyoto Kamui, however, did not.
Truth Bullet #8: Earthquake Positions
No, Monokuma, the Truth Bullet header isn't supposed to look like that!
Truth Bullet #8-Earthquake Positions
There were earthquakes that transpired in the middle of the night.
Ayano Nishiki, Rosalina Folium, Tsukiko Oda, Namita Nakahashi, Miyuki Kobyashi, Hotaru Amemori, Akemi Nakatani, Mitsuru Banda, Kira Iwata, andTakara Miyagi were inside the main building.
Seven people consisting of Takayuki Anno, Minato Ueda, Naoko Kawabata, Kyoto Kamui, Hayato Akimoto, Satoshi Nakajima, and Yasu Matsuhita were somewhere else in the forest.
Mitsuru stayed behind with Kira Iwata while the others in the main building left to go to the old building, which was caused by Hayato Akimoto.
During this time, Naoko Kawabata and Takayuki Anno were both unconscious in the torture room. YasuMatsuhita and Satoshi went to a private room to chat. Kyoto Kamui and Minato Ueda were the only ones in the forest at that moment.
Truth Bullet #9-The Injured
Naoko Kawabata and Takayuki Anno were both knocked unconscious following a private discussion of theirs. Takayuki Anno was given more of the drug to make the effects last longer.
Hayato Akimoto was stabbed by somebody before trying to find other people for help.
Satoshi Nakajima and YasuMatsuhita were attacked by the same person. One of them was shot while the other stabbed.
Truth Bullet #10-Gunshots
During the night, three gunshots were heard.
Truth Bullet #11-Hideyoshi Yamazaki
Takayuki Anno notes that the murders follow the memo of serial killer, Hideyoshi Yamazaki.
The memo is simple. Strip a person down to their underwear and give them an ironic, brutal death. Most serial killers do not have a pattern, so this stands out.
Truth Bullet #12-Personality Experiment #045
Wklv lv wkh nhb wr wklv pbvwhub.
Before I can question myself about the meaning of the last bullet, I go out of the Hospital. This is not where I should be for this investigation. Once Takayuki feels better, I should ask him a lot of things. He still knows a lot more than he lets on.
Though there is one thing that haunts my mind other than the recent deaths of Kyoto and Naoko...Minato and Mitsuru are still missing? Where can those two be? I get Minato, but Mitsuru is another story. It makes no sense, especially considering her character.
I then run my way back to the old building. Although having more information about Personality Experiment #045 can possibly help this case, there is no time to search the library for a clue that Monokuma could have put in to mess with us. More time should be spent on finding whoever killed Kyoto and Naoko. Whoever they are, no matter their reason, I will make them pay.
Reaching the old building, the first person I make contact with is Akemi. I sigh at his presence. He is all alone and seems to be trying to find clues around the outside of the building.
"Akemi."
"Ayano." Akemi turns to face me once I make my presence clear. The both of us have a stare down.
"Aw, the two of you make up already! Seeing you like this is so cliche," Hotaru comments, popping out of nowhere like her usual self. She then disappears back into the building.
"I don't see how you could help, Akemi. I'm going to investigate on my own."
"Fine then, I will do the same thing!" Akemi goes back to what he was doing before. Considering he has been less than helpful in trials before, even with his talent and obviously big brain, I do not expect much from the fruits of his labor.
"Will you two stop acting like children? I can feel the pettiness from inside here! We have a murder to solve, you know." Hotaru comes back out again. It is weird to see her actually get annoyed at us. Her lowered brows tell me everything about what is going on inside her head.
"Then I'm going to go far away from Akemi. Far, far away." That is when I decided to go back into the forest. Finding clues for Kyoto's murder might be harder but I am most likely the only one searching the entire forest itself. Hopefully, I will not trigger any more traps.
I quickly find out that the forest has nothing for me to find. If somebody is going to find anything here, it would either be Takara or Minato. Though Takara is busy making sure people know where Kyoto is, while Minato is still nowhere to be found.
"Ayano!" Out of nowhere, I notice Minato come out. They are cover with bruises but no blood. Minato has certainly seen better days.
"M-Minato." I do not deny that I feel relief upon learning Minato is okay. They might be the person I relate to the most and the least. Minato is the one who understands my lost of Kyoto the most, after all, considering their feelings for Akita. It is weird to say you might become friends with somebody whose love interest was killed by your boyfriend.
"What's going on!? I heard guns and everything! And those announcements!" Minato begins to panic. I try to claim them down a little by gently placing one of my hands on their shoulder.
"Can't you check your handbook?" I ask them. Minato stares at me for a second before answering.
"Somebody stole my handbook," they answer me. Even though they are somewhat panicked, I do not believe Minato gets the full picture of what is going on here. They seem to be in their own little world that is ready to break once again. "What's going on?"
"Stole your handbook? Well, um...Naoko and...Kyoto are dead," I explain. "Hayato, Takayuki, Yasu, and Satoshi were all attacked. I guess the attacker got you too, huh?...Wait, did you see their face!?" I know I should not get excited, but having this lead makes me want to jump for joy. Then again, not even Hayato or Satoshi could see their face.
"No. Um, I got trapped right over there. Finally got myself out." Minato points to a tree. There is a broken piece of some sort of fabric tied onto it while the rest of the fabric is on the ground. Wait, fabric is not the right word. It is a net but it does not look professional in the least. "...It just broke."
"It's like some sort of badly made net," I comment. Whoever did this must be the same person who killed Kyoto. This bastard will pay for their badly made traps. They are clearly amateur yet people still keep falling for them. It would take a lot of convincing of the mind for somebody like Kyoto to even go near anything suspicious, let alone the forest in the middle of the night.
"We have to get back to the others, especially to tell them that you are alright. I know the way." To make sure Minato does not get lost again somehow, I hold onto their hand. We then make our way out of the forest together. It is good luck that I did not need to go that far. Just another thing now bothers me: why would the culprit go out of their way to steal Minato's handbook? It must have fallen out of their pocket while they were trapped in that net.
Finding myself out of the forest again, I travel with Minato to go to the old building. It would be a good idea to drop them off there, much better than leaving them in the forest again.
"Oh, Ayano, is back? How's my sweet, sweet Yuki~?" I see that Satoshi and Hayato have been permitted to go outside the Hospital.
"I think you saw her after me Satoshi," I answer. It is somewhat good to see that Satoshi has gone back to his old ways. Hayato is also the same Hayato. Both of their suits, however, are now completely ruined with no hope of repair.
"Aw, I hope she's alright! I can't get enough of her beautiful face!"
"Ueda-san...I did not expect to see you here. Are you injured like us?" Hayato asks with the same face he always has.
"Yes."
"Oh, may I ask you a favor? Can one of you show me their handbook?" Satoshi is the one who follows through with my request. It seems like Hayato had the desire to do it as well but was beaten to the punch.
"Now, if you do not mind me, I am going to start investigating more." Hayato then goes into the old building. Minato and I, being in the same situation, decide to look through the bullets together, but not before I ask something. Minato takes this time to catch up in the mystery.
"Satoshi, why were you and Yasu in that building in the first place?"
"Um...you remember...the secret thing. Well, Yasu wanted to talk to me about it so we went near the graves to not be disturbed. However, we heard the gunshot and hurried over to where we thought it was. I couldn't stand the feeling of somebody like my precious Yuki being hurt! And, then, you know, it happened." I hear a familiar beep, which means I must be getting somewhere.
"Okay." With that out of the way, I begin to examine the bullets. Please have something that clearly points to Kyoto's killer. That is wishful thinking but having an easier mystery would be lovely right now.
Truth Bullet #13-Takayuki's Account
Takayuki Anno and Naoko Kawabata decided to meet together alone to discuss a mystery they were unraveling. Naoko Kawabata had learned more details due to the help of Kyoto Kamui, who wanted to tell Ayano Nishiki the next day.
However, Takayuki Anno arrives early and has somebody drug him from behind using a massive amount of drugs. The next thing he knew is that he was handcuffed although he has no hands, and Naoko Kawabata was dead in front of him.
Truth Bullet #14-The Second Trap
Minato Ueda was found in the forest in a second trap. It is some sort of badly made net. Because of its poor quality, it snaps, letting Minato free.
Truth Bullet #15-Missing Handbook
Whoever set up the trap Minato was trapped in took their handbook. It fell out of their pocket and the culprit took it off of the ground. This does not go against school regulations.
Truth Bullet #16-Satoshi's Account
Satoshi Nakajima and YasuMatsuhita were also having a conversation near the graves when the gunshots went off. They went by themselves to find out who was responsible.
Something definitely seems off here. I do not believe Monokuma is using us like in the first trial, but he might be messing with the facts like in the second trial. Looking over everything now I can already tell this is going to be a complicated trial.
"Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...still have no idea! Must look for more clues for my darling Yuki! C'mon, Minato!" Satoshi exclaims. He grabs onto Minato and then hurries both of them inside the building. I sigh when I notice I am all alone again.
"Why must we keep running into each other?" Then I realize that Akemi is here as well. He must have been staying quiet during the whole conversation. His amount of stealth surprises me.
"Um...I am going to check on the people in the Hospital. Bye." That said, I leave the area once again. Who says the most important clues are close to the bodies anyway? Checking on Takayuki might give me new evidence. And everything is better than staying with Akemi. A part of me wishes he is Kyoto's killer but somehow I doubt that is the case. What a shame. Kyoto could still be here with Akemi dead instead and the world would be better off.
Seeing Mirabilis still working on the graves, now working on Naoko's, I decided to go up to her for a quick conversation. It is good to check everybody to see whether or not they have a new piece of evidence. And I will do anything to find who did this to Kyoto.
"Hello, Mirabilis, do you have anything to add to the investigation?" I question. Seeing me, Mirabilis stops digging Naoko's whole and looks up to me. She smiles.
"Nope, but I'm sure you guys got it covered! I shall be cheering for you all as a magical girl!" Mirabilis bows before returning back to what she was doing before. Seeing her hard work makes me smile yet my eyes lay on Kazuhiko's grave. There is still a deep hole inside of my heart.
"You truly are." My smile grows bigger. Mirabilis begins to blush but quickly returns back to normal. Her eyes, however, have a certain sadness in them that does not strike me as odd considering somebody she was close to just died as well. I could only imagine the pain of digging Kazuhiko or Kyoto's graves by myself. "Are you sure you want to do it alone?"
"I'm fine! It's part of my duty to do this! I shouldn't have been slacking off in the first place!" Mirabilis's tears are watery, but I know I am getting nowhere with her. It is best to figure out who caused Mirabilis to feel this way so I can help her feel better. Revenge is sometimes the best medicine, even if Mirabilis would never admit to something like that.
"Okay, if you say so," I say before heading off to finish my original objective. It would be helpful for there to be poison again for more of Mirabilis's assistance, but the killer must have learned from the last case. Poison is not the ideal weapon with this group of people. They must have remembered the hard time we were having in the first case and decided something more along those lines.
Now back in the Hospital, I see that Takayuki is alright but is resting on the cot. Kira and Yasu are both in the same situation. The only one with their eyes open is Kira. It might be helpful to ask for her opinion considering she did try to kill someone before.
"Nishiki-san, I can report that Anno-kun will feel better before the trial starts. I requested him to take a nap to regain all of his strength so he followed through. May I ask, however, why you are back here? Do you need my assistance on something?" Miyuki wonders. I then notice for the first time that Namita is also in the room but she was surprisingly quiet. Those two seem to spend a lot of time with each other.
"Oh, Ayano, I'm helping Miyuki! That's why I'm here!" Namita explains herself. She too must have just noticed me.
"Kira, may I ask you something?"
"Whatever," Kira responds. She is definitely a more broken girl now that I am spending more time with her. If her eyes were not covered in bandages, I would guess that they would look dead. "Just don't call me short, okay?"
"Hm, fine," I smile. Kira still has a sense of humor. A different one but one nevertheless. She is still in there but it will take her a long time to come out like I was after the ending of Kazuhiko's trial. "What do you think about this whole case?"
"Honestly, I've no idea. I'm pretty useless." I seem to have put Kira in a bad mood. That is not good, and she has no leads to Kyoto's killer. Oh, wait!
"What did Mitsuru do while she was here?" I continue on with my questioning. Mitsuru is still nowhere to be found. I hope that she is in a situation like Minato, but one cannot be too careful in this game.
"I told her I was hungry so she must have gone to get me something." That is a little something. There is a beep going around the room so it might be important information. Only if there was some other way to get more information. Maybe I should examine the crime scenes yet again to make sure I or any of the others have missed anything. Monokuma might give us the answers but we cannot depend on that demonic teddy bear. His answers only create more questions. And you're powerless to do anything. Kyoto deserves better than that. Honestly, Akita, Shinichi, Cassius, Naoko...and Kazuhiko deserve better than that.
"Um, why hasn't she come back yet?" Namita asks.
"I've no idea," Kira replies. There is definitely something fishy going on.
"I will go look for her. Namita and Ayano, you should return your focus to the investigation." Miyuki has her sword out immediately. I remember her having some sort of connection to Mitsuru but that is still a mystery to me.
"No, you're not going by yourself." Namita stares Miyuki intently in her eyes. The smaller of the two gives in, allowing Namita to come join her. But they do have a more dangerous task ahead than what I am trying to do.
"And I'll look over the Hospital~" Monokuma pops out of nowhere. "C'mon, I won't do anything. The killer isn't stupid enough to attack when they have already killed the maximum amount of people. Except if they are that idiot bartender guy."
"I'll be taking my leave." Not wanting to see Monokuma again, I hurry out of that room before Namita and Miyuki. Being anywhere near that bear makes my blood boil.
I make my way back to the old building. Although Naoko's body is certainly the more gruesome of the two, I will happily spend more time with it. Maybe the incident with Monokuma putting Kazuhiko's dead body makes me scared of him doing the same to Kyoto's.
In the room again, I see that Satoshi, Hayato, and Minato are the ones examining this room. They pay me no mind when I walk up to Naoko's body. I take a deep breath and start looking around. Takayuki might have done so before, but, since Naoko was someone close to him, and not to mention an almost naked girl that he most certainly had a crush on (Do you really think you can hide that from me?), he might not have looked in the more indecent areas. I remember him doing the same to Akita. Being a girl close to Takayuki seems like a death sentence.
"..." Making sure none of the boys or Minato are watching, I examine the areas of Naoko's body hidden underneath her underneath. The whole experience makes even someone like me want to vomit. I am lucky that Naoko's corpse is still fairly early in the decay cycle. "I'm sorry Naoko."
There is something that strikes me as odd, however. Naoko's clothes can be seen torn into pieces onto the floor but I do not remember seeing anything remotely like that for Kyoto. I must return back there once I feel ready for it and find out the truth about all of this.
I am disappointed to figure out that there is nothing. My legs feel so shaky that I fall. All that time and effort was wasted on something that did not even matter. This might be a good time to be somewhere that is not consumed with an overwhelming oppressive atmosphere.
Not wanting to be in the same room as where I accidentally caused Takayuki to trigger his action, I instead opt to go into the room right next to it. It is exactly the same but yet completely different. My gut has a strange feeling about this room.
Then I see something in the corner of the room, badly hidden by a blanket that was lazily thrown on top of it. The killer, however, might not have expected anybody to come into this room, but shouldn't one of the people checking the rooms notice this clearly suspicious pile? The pile that has handbooks. This must be where the missing ones have gone and why we were tricked into thinking everybody was in this building. They still work by the virtue that I see them all glow up and then beep at once, most likely because of my discovery.
"I have to tell the others!"
I then feel something press against my back. It feels cold. Then there is a deep pain erupting in my shoulder as I notice blood begin to spill out of it. Worse of all, though, I see that my action has been triggered...And then there is black.
Dun dun dun. Chapter three in general should be the chapter called 'The Fans Go Crazy.' Because, oh boy, I'm already imagining the reviews.
Sorry this took forever. Personal reasons. Guess who is ill? ME. Puhuhuhu. I'm way too stubborn to get something like illness to stop me from writing. And the same old family issues, but I got family issues all my life y'all.
And, yes, the next DiOS chapter is almost done as well. Writer's block again. DiOS, in general, will probably update less than FoD since this is the main project, but, once I finish chapter three and begin the first big edit of this story, DiOS will update a lot more (yes, FoD will still update while I edit the previous chapters, just not as often).
Reviews~
mayurie-I'm a sadist. And here's more of it! Please stop raising the death flags, there are only oh so many characters left. I need to make more Extras of Despair chapters. But oh my God, one thing I will say is that other than being gagged, the killer just chopped out Naoko's tongue. Let all these children rest in peace. R.I.P our precious Hufflepuff child.
ObieSenpai-Thanks! :D I love Kyoto so much but poor boy was too much of a cinnamon roll to last. Don't be a cinnamon roll, bad things happen. Well, Hideyoshi has because Hideyoshi is what we say is a creep. The killer goes to extremes for their OTP to become canon. Thanks so much. ^.^
AnonChan1-Kira cannot share because Monokuma is a dick. Even in the Neo World Program, Monokuma will be a dick. Mitsuru is still missing. Poor Takara throughout this story, poor any character. I am a bitch. ;) I like pulling on your heart strings. Ayano just goes through so much shit. Feed me with your TEARS. Akemi is more complex than Ayano takes him for. Monokuma now gives the students the files! This whole island could be described as a torture cell. FUCK FEED ME WITH YOUR TEARS!
(Guys, I think I'm gonna break AnonChan1 again)
ShadedLyht-Yes, feed me with your despair! Congrats! I will give you a hint, at least one of these is getting close to the truth. Now here's more suffering!
TheRoseShadow21-INDEED IT WAS
Scissor-Snipper-I kill all your best bois. Thanks. ^.^ Takayuki and Minato are both in bad conditions but, hey, they're not dead. Yes, that's totally the truth behind this case.
LostOne'sWeeping-Oh hey, Rachelle.
SanityRequiem-Oh hey, me.
mayurie-Yes, there's two of them. Run for the hills! RUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! RUN FOR BUNNY ISLAND!
cassiusfan-Guys, I think I broke cassiusfan again. I feed on your SUFFERINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
BIBOTOT-Yes, all the evil laughter! Especially since you're behind and I can openly evilly laugh about the events of this chapter! Puhuhuhu. Fall into despair like cassiusfan. Am I the only one who finds centipedes kinda cute? Then again, I'm the person who finds spiders cute, and then people look at me weird. Yasu wants to go to bunny island, kid. Akita knows more than she lets on in her narration, like Ayano did.
coolanonreviewer-Oh dear lord, chapter one. Guys, don't tell this anon what happens to Akita. She's perfectly fine. Perfectly fine. Oh my God, it is attack of the anons again. You have a good question guest reviewer. I honestly have no idea.
