Fanganronpa: Heaven Envy

Trial #2

(this ones a little long, buckle up)

-Chapter 2_Trial-

Orochi explained everything, even the notes he took while Akemi was gone.

"Something to note," He said, "Is that everything here was done with surgical precision so good that Osoro couldn't bleed out until they removed her eyes,"

"Did you ever find the eyes?" Hashido asked. Tatsuya looked at him, disgusted.

"You say that like the others would've kept 'em," He said. Hashido turned to him with an umbrella twirl and grinned creepily.

"Maybe they would've~," They said. The tall ginger cringed.

"No we didn't find the eyes," Daichi said, annoyed.

"Actually, I did," Koto's machine voice spoke, "In a trash can on the third floor, by Luci and Akemi's dorm," Everyone's eyes turned to Akemi, who put his hands up in defense.

"That's pretty damn suspicious," Usagi remarked.

"But I haven't been to the third floor since I woke up this morning! I was exploring all the others all day after breakfast," Akemi explained. Usagi glared.

"Oh yeah, we'll just believe the guy that 'passed out' ten minutes before we all got to the scene!" She said. Koto stopped her.

"Please refrain from making accusations you cannot back, Rito. I for one, do not believe Akemi could have committed this crime," The author did not look up, merely continued to type without letting the others suspicious gazes distract him, "Akemi has a phobia of blood, so I don't think he could have killed Osoro. It would have been far too long in the environment filled with blood for him to handle, and he most likely would have run out screaming before ever managing to kill her. Moreover, He's far shorter than Osoro was, so getting her onto that hook - which we can assume happened pre-mortem - would have been far too difficult, even if she was under the influence of any sort of drug,"

"Drugs? Why bring that up, Kotoba?" Touro asked. They were sweating. Koto looked at him.

"I think you know quite well, Watanabe. For you were the one who walked in on her using such drugs," Koto fired back. Touro swallowed hard.

"What are you talking about? My sister would never put anything harmful into her body," Ahaki said. The author nodded.

"I believe you completely, Ahaki. For these were not necessarily harmful," Akemi gasped, knowing what he meant.

"Koto, do you mean..."

"Indeed," He replied, "Care to explain the rest, Kurogan?" Everyone looked to Hashido, who was swaying childishly at their magnifying lense covered-podium. The small teen looked up and grinned.

"Sure thing Koto!" They giggled, "See, Osoro came to me at breakfast, 'cause she knew I had some of the good stuff. Turns out she did it on the outside but didn't have any for herself in here~. We did some in my and Haru's dorm~," Haru spoke up.

"That's why our room smells like skunk! You little shit!" Haru yelled at the kid.

"The substance in question, in case anyone is lost, is marijuana," Koto explained, earning some nods, "That being said, Akemi is still too short to have lifted her there, even if she was high,"

"Thanks, dude," Akemi said. The tall boy didn't look at him.

"Don't thank me yet, we're not done here,"
