EXAM 2

[lockdownmods]

Exam 2.

[ Like last time, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Han is at the front of the classroom again, looking noticeably neutral about the entire setup. His laptop is closed behind him. ]

You know the drill. [his voice sounds soft, tight.]

Be careful with who you pick, as they'll be answering for their crime with their life.

Victim.






Suspects.



[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. ]

... I think that sounds like a good timeline of events.

[ ... Though - ]

What about if somewhere in there, Henry had an accomplice? [ Since it's been mentioned before. ] Someone who agreed to help him but turned on him when he didn't expect it?

[devotingly]

While I was the one that mentioned it, I think Henry would try to go with someone he knew more— perhaps one of those in the Entrance Exam?

[lovedanime]

If he particularly trusted that person, why not put them into his written plans from the beginning?

[devotingly]

...

[ well there’s something. waver stops in his tracks, thinking about it better. it’s not a solution he’s particularly pleased with, but— ]

Scratch the idea of an accomplice, then. If Henry was that desperate and the hallucinations were overwhelming him, then he might have confused anyone as the person he’s targetting. In other words, this person... may have killed in self defense.

I.... this is going to be terrible if that's the case.

[WHY.]

[machrophage]

It's going to be terrible either way, isn't it?

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... fair point.

[He sort of hopes you didn't do it Viral.]

[whatsmytalentagain]

Good question. Even if the person wasn't named, did he put any accomplice into his plans?

[buriedearth]

I don't think he'd necessarily pick someone he'd know more if he was feeling desperate.
