Masane stared in horror as her once bubbly and friendly classmate, lie there... her eyes no longer sparkling with joy and enthusiasm.
How did this happen... again?
Alarm. Alarm. Alarm.
Dead body found in Changing Room. Found by Masane Kioyoko.
Report to the Changing Room immediately.
Masane stared, shocked, as the others rushed in.
"Masane, what..." Kochi stopped talking as her eyes lay on Kutsumi's corpse. "Oh dear..."
"Miss Kioyoko? What's going on?" Yumiyo plead for answers.
"Yumiyo, hon... Kutsumi has passed." Fuuko said the words no one wanted to acknowledge.
"Ku... Kutsumi?" Toshika's deep voice rang out as she stepped forward.
"Holy shit. This... this is insane, like actually insane." Rigen whispered.
Everyone watched as Toshika went over to her friend and hunched over her lifeless body. Toshika looked confused, angry, heartbroken, and shocked.
Just as the others surely did.
"She was my first feminine friend... all the others were... too afraid of me. But... not Kutsumi. She didn't fear me at all. She never feared anything, always so cheerful and uplifting. So, I have to ask..."
The others besides Masane and Yumiyo stepped back as Toshika snarled. "Who would have dared to hurt someone as kind as Kutsumi?"
"Woah hold the fists of fury over there! We gotta check out ol twinkle toes and solve her murder! After that you can slug and chug as you see fit!"
"YOU! This... this is all your fault!
"Easy isn't it?"
"What?"
"So easy to get angry and shift the blame from one to another but the sad truth is... you couldn't protect her."
"The hell you say?" Toshika rose to her full height, muscles bulging.
"Kenho couldn't save Kikuji, Masane couldn't save Yoshikawa or Raou, Yumiyo couldn't save Amy or vice versa... y'all can't save anything, not even yourselves. But hey it sure feels good to blame me right?"
Everyone was quiet after Shockbolt's spiel before he cracked a disturbing grin and tossed everyone a file.
"Let's get this shit storm started, shall we?!"
Victim: Kutsumi Arida
Cause of death: Drowning
Time of death: 7:38 p.m.
Place of death: Sauna
Place body was found: Changing Room
Victim was found laying face up in the changing room. Her hair had been pulled out, back of the neck bruised and dress soaked.
Information about the victim: Kutsumi's worst fear was being drowned, as she was bullied in school about the way she looked and nearly drowned from it.
Before coming to Hope's Peak Academy, she was working on a formula for scar cream. One that made scars nonexistent.
As Masane read over the file she felt herself stiffen with a horrible realization.
Kutsumi's worst fear that she was hallucinating was being drowned but in reality... it wasn't a hallucination at all.
She died by her worst fear.
