Exam 5
[ 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.
Han is no longer here to watch over you. And yet at the desk, a beautiful vase of flowers sits by his name plate. It is Oswald who stands at that desk, though Vivienne watches him intently from the side of the room with a sharp gaze. But his eyes are frozen on those delicate flowers. With his knuckles white, he grips the desk as one, and then several more tears fall.
Vivienne waits, but he doesn't speak. So ultimately she's forced to do it herself. ]
...Professor Han was... a good man. It's truly unfortunate that he won't be able to finish the semester with you all I know... he would have wanted to. In... his absence, I will... do my best to support you in his place, the way he would have wanted to.
[It's hard for her too. This is... it's just sad. It's all just... sad. But they have to press forward.
Today we're here to find the person who is responsible for the death of Waver Velvet, the Apprentice of Magecraft.
...Take your time. The evidence you need is all here.
[ 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.

[ ...Osomatsu has a theory. And he really doesn't like it. ]
I... m-maybe W--
[ Even for all the stuff Mitarai has said, he's still Osomatsu fan and friend, even if things are currently on thin ice. So... ]
no subject
[ Go ahead, say it. ]
no subject
...Maybe Waver-kun was the one who tazed Mitarai. In self-defence.
[ He internally mutters an apology. ]
no subject
...I guess Choromatsu isn't the smart one after all! You're getting a lot better at lateral thinking after having to do this... so much more than you ever should have had to...
But there's just one problem with your theory.
no subject
[ Oso's still not that smart. ]
...Uh?

Still, he has an idea of the why. ]
...What if he thought -- he knew for sure he was dying?
Why bother calling for help if you know you'd be dead anyway?
no subject
...What he was holding onto at the end.
...Waver...
[SNIFFLE.]
no subject
It's... [Deep breath.] It's proof he was still at least a little conscious, but why... why would anyone...?
no subject
no subject
[... ]
I.. don't think he could have been saved after being injected with that.... and he probably knew that.
no subject
no subject
...Maybe he wasn't finished typing. [ Oso's voice is flat. ]
And like the others said, he probably wasn't thinking clearly.
