Confrontation.

It has now been a few days since shizuku's untimely death. Since then things have gotten even tougher for everyone. The night she died, shizuku was found by two trash men. The men called the police; and once there the cops made a quick conclusion. That whoever killed Rina also killed shizuku, the motive they didn't know. So that night on the local news; the police announced there search for a serial killer. It was one of those things that people will never forget. Parents figured that the killer was targeting students from nijigasaki, so huge amounts of girls were taken out of the school. The ones that stayed felt like this once fun all girls school; was turned to a prison.

Everyday the girls had to check in and be searched at the doors. Until someone was found, all club activities were disbanded. Once dismissal came; nervous students were followed home by police officers. The once fun and exciting time that was high school, was now just scary.

For one girl...she took this new death personally. Her name was shioriko mifune; and she was watching the news on that horrible night. Halfway through, the young leader had to stop watching and retreated to her room. Seeing this all made her feel sick to her stomach. As student council president, it was her job to make sure her fellow students were safe. Right now though, she felt like a failure. In fact she had for a while; with each death hurting her more and more. She knew she had to find this killer not just for her friends; but to honor her roll as student council president. The biggest problem that she was currently facing was who... who was the killer. This question kept her awake at night and haunted her dreams.

The girl had her suspicions, but not enough evidence to make a move on anyone. So she ultimately had to sit back and bide her time...as painful as that was. We now move forward to the present, and shioriko had been wanting to contact yuu and offer her condolences. The only thing that kept her from doing so was her nervousness. As she didn't know if it was the right time to call the girl. In the end though, as president she had to make sure her fellow student was okay. So she slowly pulled out her phone and dialed the number. After a few rings, a sad and somber voice greeted. "Hello". "Ummmm miss takasaki...this is shioriko mifune". "You know, from school", the girl said nervously.

"Oh hi, how are you doing", yuu said as nonchalantly as she could. "I'm doing good, but I actually wanted to ask about you". "Me?". "Yes I heard the unfortunate news, and I just wanted to check on you", shio stated. "That's sweet of you". "I guess I'm feeling okay for the most part". "I saw that you two had been pretty good friends lately", the fanged girl pointed out. "Yes she was a sweet girl", yuu smiled. "She just wanted a couple friends and to live her life". "It's just not right that someone would take that from her". "I agree... whoever's doing this needs to be found". "I hope they can do something soon", yuu sighed. "Things just feel...scary right now".

"Your definitely right about that". "But I believe law enforcement will bring someone to justice, we just have to have a little faith", the girl assured. A few moments into their conversation, shioriko began to ask about the night before shizuku's death. "So, I am to understand she was sleeping over at your place". "Yeah, and we were having a great time too". "If only I would've stopped her from leaving", yuu said in a regretful voice. "It wasn't your fault...no one could've known". "I know, wishful thinking". "I'm glad ayumu wasn't hurt though", the girl smiled. "Ayumu...she was there?". "Yeah, she was the one who walked shizuku home", yuu admitted. "She had to go to the grocery store though, so she wasn't with her the whole time".

Upon hearing this shioriko went completely quite. She had her suspicions about ayumu, but hearing this set off a red flag in her head. As she remembered that ayumu was also present at the time of setsuna's disappearance. But was all this just a coincidence, or did uehara know something. As shioriko continued to think to herself; yuu called out to her still on the line. "Ummm, prez...are you still there". "Oh yes, ummmm I have to go". "But why don't we have lunch together at school sometimes", shio offered. "Ok, that sounds good". After this shioriko quickly hung up the phone. She then began to piece everything together that she had heard. Ayumu had always been on her radar, but this just seemed to good to be true.
