Hanabishi swung the door to his house open without saying a word, the others quickly following behind him.

"Ah, Bishi! You're home! And you brought your friends-" Papitaro started, but it didn't take long for him to realize the looks on their faces. "Is.. everything alright?" He asked.

"No! Nothing's alright!" Hanabishi yelled, "Nora is dead and who knows who's next!?"

Papitaro was shocked. "Nora is... dead?"
 
  Toru walked over to Papitaro and patted him on the shoulder. "We assume it was the same villagers who killed Niina Fuwa..."

  "Where's Boron?" Seito asked.

Toru sighed, "He took Nora's body.. he's lying her somewhere to rest.."

  

  Up in the Kyushu Mountains, Boron carried Nora's body all the way up to the cave.. the same cave that him and Nora played in as kids. He grew up with Nora his whole life.. and now she was gone. Nora was 24 years old. Him and Nora were next door neighbors and grew very close, however Boron never showed how much he really cared for Nora. Even when she took care of him after his mom disappeared.. he still tended to push her away. This was one of the only times he showed his care for Nora... over her dead corpse.

  He laid her corpse down on the cold, hard ground, quivering as he removed the knife from her flesh.

  "...Who did this to you..." Boron whispered.

"Why... WHO DID THIS TO YOU DAMMIT?" His voice becoming a yell.

  "I'll find out who did this to you... I'll find them.. and I'll make them pay..."

Boron stood up, taking one last look at Nora before leaving the cave. He walked down the dirt path leading back to the village, thunder booming and rain beginning to fall from the sky. When he got back to the village, he stood outside of Hanabishi's house for a moment. He took a deep breath trying to compose himself before stepping inside.

  "Boron, you're back!" Seito said, giving him a comforting smile.

"You're soaking wet and cold, were you alright out there?" Toru asked. Boron shrugged and walked into the living room, leaving a trail of wet footprints behind him.

  "Are you okay..?" Keita asked. Boron just sat down on the couch and stared blankly at the wall. "I'll be fine..." He muttered.

  Everyone was deeply hurt by Nora's death, but no one as hurt as Boron. He just sat on the couch, staring into space. Everyone else, along with Papitaro and now Hanabishi's younger sister, Mariha, sat with him.

  "Nosuke and I need to head out to the school tomorrow." Papitaro said, breaking the silence. "We need to make sure it's secure if there are killers still on the loose.."

  Boron looked up upon hearing his dad's name. "Just... please don't let him get hurt.." Boron said, he couldn't bare to lose anyone else close to him. Papitaro smiled slightly, "I won't.." he replied.
