Flicker- Two Worlds Combine

Chapter 19: Haneen

''Alex... Are you the killer?''

As those words leave Trey's mouth, I am filled with an uneasy feeling. Do we have to execute someone all over again? Reza, Liling, Colleen, Spencer, Mike, Sabrina, Jacob, Joshua, Elizabeth, Adora, Omar, Madelyn, Mason, Chidi, and now Evaline are all dead because of our actions. I'm watching Indah quietly take a muffin out of her pocket, and  she's seeming actually joyful right now. Very nice.

So many of us have died, and it's getting pretty hard for poor Qasim to take. I'm glad Carlos hasn't died yet, because us two are the only ones keeping him happy. So many lives were taken by the murderer, or other circumstances as well... Vinny, Lara, Austin, Nave, Natalie, Cactus, Cash, Evan, Caleb, Danielle, Moire, Jo, Jordan, Evelyn, Peter, Seungho, Adam, Elaina, Dill, Bailey, Charlie, Amani, Regan and Rosalie. At this point it feels like I'm reminding people that I can't see about something.

''You... You bitch! Why am I the murderer? You can't prove shit!'' Alex sputters. Natalia just twirls her hair, probably annoyed with how Alex is acting. However, she usually acts the same, except she curses even more, and so far Alex hasn't told me to die for no reason yet... I really don't understand how Melodie can be so patient sometimes.

''Alex, this white shoelace could be yours. You also don't seem to care about these murders, as well as a few others, but we can talk about that later. You are a pretty damn notable suspect.'' Odette states. She's doing pretty good at this right now. Of course, she could just be the murderer and framing others. But I can't always doubt people. I gotta have some trust in others in this game.

Thomas and Thiago are in the back together, and I notice Thiago mutter something about a ''Deal those nights ago''. Whatever the hell that's about, I have no idea. Anyhoo...  I can still see that everyone is pretty mad right now. What could be going on now?

''What if it's Mateo? He got Omar killed, and his behavior changed drastically after the first night!'' Alex panicks. ''And how do we know Halona wasn't just trying to waste our time earlier by making that pitiful suggestion of theirs?'' Accusing everyone is quite rude...I could never trust him nowadays.

Miguel looks upset. ''Well, of course Mateo's acting different nowadays! Back then he didn't witness anybody getting executed or anything! Your reasoning upsets me very much, you terrible person!'' I'm beginning to wonder what else will happen now. Is this really it for Alex?

''Wait. You guys all need to chill. Alex is not the killer. There is a much bigger suspect, and that would be Cody. He fits a lot of evidence, and he isn't wearing his shoes today. I'd also like to note he had white shoelaces. He's even more suspicious.'' Lucas makes a game-changing claim. 

Nick is skeptical. ''What if you're just some sort of traitor trying to confuse us all, Lucas? And you match evidence too, so you could be the murderer who is just trying to play tricks on everybody!'' Now what in the hell is going on?

Aurora steps in. ''I-I know maybe you guys can't trust my opinion now that Rosalie's dead, but couldn't the black string we found in the kitchen be Nick's hoodie string? He's trying to cast doubt on Natalia and Lucas. He's a candidate for the manipulative murderer among us!'' This is really a split opinion by now. So many suspects for who this murderer is, but only one of our accusations is correct... I must choose wisely.

''Agreeable. Nick is definitely pretty suspicious as of right now. I'm still going to keep an eye on Annie and Jackson, just to be sure. I wouldn't want to lower my guard at the wrong time.'' Amethyst just looks down at the floor as she says that. I think they're feeling pretty down right now. Prasiddhi plays with her braid, while Benton goes off exploring.

Quinn scratches the back of their neck and awkwardly makes a suggestion. ''What about Cody? He still... Is a suspect. I mean, he barely avoided execution earlier, but now he matches even more evidence. I... Wouldn't want any more people gone, I mean, but... Just... Um... Saying.'' The one with the orange hair went back to talk to Albert, but soon he spoke up aswell.
