Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 2 Part 3

Hanako and I walked past the two toilets, which had nothing inside, and walked to the last shop on the fourth floor. This one was quite special, there wasn't a door leading straight into a shop, but rather a narrow hallway, which lead to a wooden door at the end. There was a piece of paper pasted onto it.

Hanako: What is this??

Ashlyn: Looks like something I'd find in a medieval castle.

Hanako: What's on the paper?

Ashlyn: I'll read it out. The Mastermind welcomes you, step right in.

Hanako: The Mastermind???

Ashlyn: Should we go in?

Hanako: Wouldn't hurt I guess...

We pushed open the wooden door and were met by a weird, stale sensation in the air. It made me get goosebumps.

Chloe: Ash?

Ashlyn: Sophie, Chloe, what're you guys here for?

Chloe: We just found this, what, Mastermind room?

Sophie: There's nothing in here though...

Chloe: Weird, maybe we should leav-

Suddenly there was a really loud noise, and something fell in the middle of the room.

Sophie: What the heck?

Chloe walked up to it.

Chloe: It's a dumbbell?

Ashlyn: Why would a dumbbell fall through the ceiling?

Sophie: Oh I don't know, maybe because there's a vent up there?

We looked up and noticed a vent at the same spot the dumbbell had fell from. It was open.

Hanako: Why would a dumbbell just fall from the vent like that?

Chloe: Is someone trying to kill us???

Hanako: Wait I think I know where this vent leads. Follow me.

We ran out of the room after Hanako, who lead us to the girl's bathroom. There was no one there. 

Hanako pointed to a vent in the wall.

Hanako: These two vents are the only two vents I've seen on this level so far, I'm almost a hundred percent positive they're connected. 

Ashlyn: But if they're on the same level, how did the dumbbell come in through the wall vent and fall from a ceiling vent?

Chloe: Maybe someone crawled through the vent and dropped it down?

Sophie: The only person small enough to fit into these vents is Randi. We should ask her if she was the one who dropped it down. 

Chloe: But Randi is in Yu Xuan's body...

Hanako: Maybe Yu Xuan was trying to murder one of us, so she made use of her current body and crawled through the vent to drop the dumbbell, and hoped that it would hit one of us on the head...

Ashlyn: I don't believe that Yu Xuan would kill someone with that motive.

Sophie: We'll just have to question her tomorrow. 

???: What're you guys doing?

It was Annan.

Chloe: Annan? Where's Hannan?

Annan: I don't know...

Chloe: How could you not know???

Annan: I left her.
