Exam 3
[ Once again, 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.
Today Han is absent-- only Megumi is present at the front of the classroom. ]
Today you are responsible for finding the culprit responsible for the death of Maya Fey, the Apprentice Falsely Accused.
Your exam begins now.
[ 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. ]
Examination START.
no subject
[He stands up, trying to get a good look at 2D.]
Matsuno-san, what the hell did you do?!
no subject
[ ...Osomatsu doesn't respond to Rantaro. ]
[ Instead, he just gives a short, harsh, bitter laugh. ]
I just realized I had a crush on her.
[ Talk about the worst possible time to finally realize that. ]
no subject
[Rantaro groans.]
Matsuno-san, I don't think she'd want you to die for doing something that impulsive and stupid. If you really love her that much, back away from the culprit before you become a murderer yourself.
no subject
[ ...There's not much else for Osomatsu to say at this point. ]
[ He's still on his knees, not doing anything. ]
[ All of what little energy he has left leaves him and he buries his face in his hands. ]
[ He's not moving. You might need to possibly drag him away. ]
1/2
[Fine. Rantaro will just walk over and...
Put a hand on Osomatsu's shoulder.
It's not forceful, or harsh. Just a gentle gesture of comfort.
Rantaro can't do much else but look down at the floor.]
2/2
... Hey. We found your culprit. Now do you have any idea what happened to that magatama Fey-san had?
no subject
pull it out of his pocket
and put it on the floor
It's strangely clean for a murder to happen surrounding it.]
no subject
Akira has dibs on calling him an idiot for this so he's not saying anything, he's just gonna proverbially throw his hands in the air jfc ]
no subject
[He'll walk off for a moment
so Mitarai has a turn with the shoulderand take the magatama.]Thanks for taking care of it...
[He's got a good grip on this as he walks back, inspecting it for any holes he could thread rope through. Maya had this around her neck so...]
Matsuno-san?
no subject
[ He barely peeks through his fingers. ]
...?
no subject
You should have this.
[He's being earnest.]
no subject
[ ... ]
[ Osomatsu shakily takes the magatama from Rantaro's hands and cradles it close to his chest. ]
[ He can't stop trembling. ]
no subject
If you want, we could try to find some thread later and make it into a pendant. I don't know if the magatama's magic will work, but it's good to have the sentimental value... At least.
no subject
...Hmm.
[ Yeah... that sounds nice. ]
no subject
... Need a moment?
no subject
[ ...It kind of goes without saying, really. ]
no subject
Osomatsu, it must be... really confusing to be in this situation... You don't have to get over it now. It's the kind of thing that should bother anyone for a long time. But... you've always been our friend. I trust you more than anyone to not fight in the cruel plots this place forces us into. So... please just give yourself a break from this... Okay?
no subject
[ Osomatsu shakes his head in anguish. ]
...M-Maya-chan... [ His voice breaks. ]
no subject
[Mitarai just keeps patting him at an awkward slow pace.]
Yeah. It's... It must be so rough...
