Silence of a Deer

Chapter 4: Final Strike (Trial P2)

We all watched as Mime slowly walked over to his spot, clutching at his head, before pushing down his portrait and standing in his spot.

Mime: ...

Cuddles: Huh? Mime!? Where the hell have you been?

Mime: ...

Petunia: Y-Yeah! Also, what happened to your head? Are you okay?

Mime: ...

Flippy: Mime...

Flippy looks genuinely caught off-guard before he smiles again.

Flippy: Oh, such a fucking shame. Here I was hoping you also died as well.

Flippy: You should have done everyone a favor and stayed dead.

Mime looks up at Flippy, with a confused look on his face.

Cuddles: Yeah... You sorta missed a lot...

Cuddles: But, in a nutshell, Flippy has shown us that he's actually an insane sociopath who probably killed Flaky...

Petunia: Mime, what happened to you? Why is there a bandage on your head? Where have you been this entire time?

Mime: ...

Mime stumbles a little bit, looking dazed and confused as his eyes narrow.

Cuddles: Woah, Mime! Are you okay?

Mime: ...

He looks like he's on the verge of passing out...

Russell: Me doesn't think we're gonna get any answers out of him.

Handy: ...

Flippy: Okay, so, Mime is still alive, big whoop. You still don't have any proof to suggest I'm not the one who killed Flaky.

Flippy: You can't really be against the fact that I'm the most likely suspect to be the killer.

Flippy: Geez, Handy, do you have some secret crush on me? Is that why you're so adamant to prove I'm not the killer?

Flippy: Or could it be in fact that you're so painfully stupid and lack any critical thinking that you're trying to defend me?

Flippy: Haha, so fucking funny, seeing such an asshole like you trying make himself feel better by pretending to be a good person.

Flippy: Why do you even give a damn, Handy? You clearly didn't care about anyone else who died so why are you bothering to save the final few of us?

Flippy: Well, I guess you do want to survive which almost makes me wanna pity you. Trying so hard to make it through one more class trial until your eventual death.

Flippy: Do everyone a favor and give up and die, Handy.

Handy: ...

Handy: I don't care about whatever you have to say anymore, I know for a fact that you didn't kill Flaky and that you're lying to us.

Petunia: Even if I do think that it's possible Flippy is lying, there's also not a lot of points suggesting one way or the other.

Cuddles: Petunia, you're the one who heard them talking last night where Flaky's body was discovered, don't you know anything about what they talked about?

Petunia: Don't you think if I did, I would have shared it already? I didn't hear anything past a few words and they weren't anything suspicious.

Cuddles: Unless, you're lying to us or something.

Petunia: What-!? Hey! I am not! We already proved that I can't be the killer so why would I lie about important evidence?

Flippy: Ha! Look at this pointless fighting. See, Handy? There's nothing you can do to prove I didn't kill Flaky.
