Author Note:

Last minute killer predictions, anyone?

"What?..." I questioned aloud, having no idea what just happened.

"Is Pix... dead?" Hana stepped back from what she saw in horror.

"Nope," Prisha pushed her glasses up. "She's just napping during the class trial."

"We just witnessed a god damn death..." Leo muttered under his breath, ruffling his hair. "So much for getting out of here with some sanity left."

"It was a nice thought," I said, before turning to the frog. "So, what do we do?"

"You're all given thirty minutes to investigate, preferably the Island Restaurant, before the trial resumes." The frog told us. "Chromesuki and I need to confront our creator for some advice on how to judge this trial."

"How do we get back up?" Naomi questioned.

"The elevator," The frog pointed at an elevator behind his throne-like. "It's only used for emergencies, so this is best time to use it. You can go back and forth between here and the trial room to investigate until time runs out."

"I guess we should check out the body like we always do," I suggested to Prisha. "I wonder if there's a Chromesuki File?"

"Oh, there is," The cyanette showed me her ChromePhone.

Victim's Name: Pixie Wright

Victim's Talent: Fashion Designer

Victim's Age: 18

Victim's Height: 5'5

Victim's Weight: 130 lbs.

Victim's Time of Death: 1:57 pm

Victim's Cause of Death: Poisoning

Victim's Wounds: N/A

"Poison?" I looked up from Prisha's ChromePhone. "That's a new one."

"Eh. It makes sense." The cyanette shrugged. "Pix is probably dumb enough to drink poison, assuming she drank it accidentally."

"But how would that even happen in the first place?" I questioned. "Wasn't someone with her the entire investigation?"

"Murdering someone during the investigation is pretty smart on the killer's part." She wiped her glasses clean. "But it's also pretty fucking stupid."

"How so?" I asked, squatting down to looked over the fashion designer's body.

"Think about it," She adjusted her glasses. "Poison comes from the infirmary inside the Island Restaurant. Unless the killer happened to be carrying around poison, which seems unlikely since Nona's murder involved force, we could easily ask if anyone left their post during the investigation to determine who poisoned her."

"I guess that makes this case pretty easy, then?" I said aloud.

"No, it doesn't," Prisha corrected me. "The motive benefits two people. Since most people investigated in groups of two, it just makes giving someone an alibi easier."

"Oh," I sighed. "You want to go investigate the Island Restaurant before the trial starts back up?"

"Sure, why not?" She agreed.
