Nikei Yomiuri: "Ms. Naegi... What on earth happened here?"

Alas, the body couldn't answer me, though the answer was obvious. A head was missing, and it didn't seem to be anywhere around here. I looked at Kyoko in confusion, and she looked back at me in horror.

Nikei Yomiuri: "Listen, I've dealt with a dismemberment case in my killing game, and it's useless to search for the head right now. We need to alert the others."

Kyoko Kirigiri: "I'll do that right away."

While she turned her attention to her handbook to message the others, I looked back at the body.

[CG: headless body BDA]

Komaru didn't seem to have any other fatal injuries, or injuries at all, besides the gibbeted head, but was that really the cause of death? Or perhaps is it hidden, like in Sonia's case? In any case, this killer must've been trying too hard for style points. This isn't good at all, but they must've at least left behind some evidence.

Soon, I can hear the others come running, no doubt having gotten Kyoko's message. I hear them skid to a halt behind me and go silent, and then I got pushed to the side.

Makoto Naegi: "N-No, Komaru!"

Makoto ran to the front of the group and stood before his sister's decapitated body. He fell to his knees and I could feel the despair emanating from him as his body trembled.

Shuichi Saihara: "Makoto, don't touch her body. I know this is hard for you...especially more than the rest of us, but we can't disrupt any crucial evidence."

Makoto Naegi: "I...I know..."

Kyoko silently kneeled down beside him and rubbed his back to comfort him. She whispered a few things that I couldn't hear, and Makoto wiped his tears and stood up again. 

Makoto Naegi: "Don't worry, Komaru. I'm going to avenge you...somehow."

Toko Fukawa: "Kyaaaaah! Komaru, what happened to you?!" 

Toko, who had just arrived, ran past us and to Komaru's body. She looked down at what remained of her friend, and even I was nervous to be around her with her fearful expression. After staring at her body while we all watched, Toko's body seemed to shake with rage.

Toko Fukawa: "Who...did...this? Which one of you bastards did this to Komaru?!"

None of us could answer her, she looked like she was too furious to listen to reason. It wasn't like we knew which one of us was the actual killer anyway, so I didn't bother to answer her. As long as she didn't try to hurt me, her wrath had to be put aside in order to investigate.
