Investigation Go!

Everything was muffled out for a while.
Around 10 minutes later, everybody had arrived. Some were crying. I could hear Saki sobbing into Tsukasa's shoulder as he left out some soft sobs as well.

I felt a hand on my back. It was cold. So very very cold. As if somebody picked up a corpse and moved it around. It was cold and so threatening, like it wanted nothing to do with me.

The sensation mixed with the current feelings from Shizuku's death was too much and I jolted away from the touch and turned around.

"Oh..! Hoshino.. are you alright? Well probably not considering your reaction.. you were staring from quite some time.. I don't think you should've been left like that.." A gentle voice, an understanding voice. Nothing remotely close to the touch I felt.

It was Asahina. She gave me the softest smile with worried eyebrows and offered her hand to me so I could get off the floor.

I'm an idiot. I forgot all about the feeling mere seconds ago.

"Asahina.. I'm sorry.. I just..don't-" I felt tears reaching my eyes. "Shh it's okay. Hinomori and I.... We did archery together.. this makes me wanna cry even though I didn't know her that well. You knew her through Kiritani right?"

Haruka? I knew Shizuku way longer than that.

I glanced at Shiho. She seems.. stuck? She hasn't moved.
Which reminds me, Shiho didn't want people knowing they were related, which is why Asahina thinks that.. Considering she's.. dead now. I'll keep their secret.

"Hoshino?" Asahina's voice asks. "O-oh! Sorry.. I... yes we met through Haruka.." I tell her, avoiding all eye contact. "This is horrible... she was amazing.. why would anyone do such a thing?" She commented and all I could do was nod.

She proceeded to grab my shoulders and force eye contact. "We need to stay strong for her, okay?" Her eyes were so sincere... I think.

"Thank you Asahina.. I should go.. check on Honami." I tell her before making my departure.

I find her huddled with Saki and Tsukasa crying.
"Honami are y-"

"What is taking you people so long! You have a timer until the class trial you know! Get investigating!!" That wretched voice, ironically one that I loved so much before. It disgusts me to my very core.

Mikukuma popped up again and let out a huge sigh. "I may as well get you all started. This is a Monokuma File!" He says showing another tablet looking thing.

"A what?" Questions Aoyagi.

"Let me speak Toya! Now... since none of you losers actually have an Ultimate in anything involving Investigation.. I guess I'll have to give you some information that may or may not help! Oh but nothing that will point you to the blackened of course! Fufu. Here.. these 23 are all yours! Ahh. I'm so generous.." he says before bidding farewell and leaving.

"Tch there's NO WAY in HELL I'm trusting anything given to me by that thing!" Akito says, earning an eye roll from Ena, even though she seems to agree.

"I think we should..atleast look... we can tell if something doesn't add up..right?" Shiraishi adds on. "We have nothing useful now other than the dead body.. so uhm yeah." Narumi says.

The discussion continues but I tune it out and look at the digital file in my hand.
Will this really help? I question as a turn it on.

Shizuku Hinomori. DEAD
It says straight up being the first thing I see. I know it's true but seeing it over and over still.. bothers me horribly.

The first page is basic information about her. Height, Weight, Measurements, Blood Type.

[The Victim's Body was discovered in one of the dorms on the second floor.]
[Estimated Time Of Death is 7:23pm]
[The victim was subjected to blunt force trauma to the front of the skull and glass shards pierced into the neck. The cause of death isn't determined between the two. No other injuries were detected.]
