INVESTIGATION

A bell rings throughout the salon and the town." Ding Dong, Ding Dong".
"A body has been discovered!" He shakes his martini glass in his hand. "After a certain amount of time, which you may use however you like, a class trial will begin!"
I'm... I don't know. Stunned, shocked, hurt, I'm not sure. My stomach hurts and my skin's prickling an unbelievable amount... It's everywhere, there's blood everywhere. I hear Darkness and Candi scream and shout "What the hell" and "What happened". However, I don't hear Skye's voice. Given her reaction yesterday afternoon to me approaching her, I'm... Worried.
I turn to face the group and finally get a glimpse at their expressions. Candi's face is pale with widened eyes, Darkness's hands are pulling on her ponytails as she's sweating profusely... Skye... Skye's face is drenched with tears, yet she's silent. Her mouth is open with no words coming out, she's trembling so badly that I can see it.
Before I call out for her, she slowly walks past me and up to Erza's body. I turn around again and watch as she falls to her knees beside Erza. She moves Erza's hair out of her face and tucks it behind her ear. Erza's already pale in the face.
"Erza," Skye whispers, holding her shoulder and shaking Erza. "Get up, get the hell up. It's a joke, please. It's a joke... It's a joke."
I approach Skye silently, swallowing, "Skye... Skye, she's-"
Skye shakes her head. "No, no she isn't it... She isn't. Erza, get up!"
No matter how much I try to convince myself to pull her away before she does any more damage to herself, I can't. My hands are balled into fists by my sides and my eyes water. The sound of footsteps out of the door grew louder and louder. I hear them stop right in the doorway.
"I heard the announce-... Oh. Oh, no," Kat's voice trails off at the sight. She walks up beside me, stares at Skye for a moment, and walks up to her and grabs her shoulders. "Please, don't do this. It's okay, she's... She'll be alright."
Skye tries to brush her off, but her attempts are futile. "Let me go! Erza! Get. Up!"
Eventually, Kat manages to pull off the sobbing Skye off of Erza and they both leave the salon. I drag my sleeve across my eyes and dry my tears quickly. I exhale shakingly as I turn and walk out of the salon.
My back meets with the cold bricks of the building and I press my palms onto my eyes. I bite my lip to compose myself... Please, please let this be a joke...

Everyone makes their way down the road to the salon. I watch as they walk up and stop outside the building.
"What happened? Heard the announcement, but I haven't seen anything-" Sora's question is cut short when he glances into the salon. He brings the back of his hand to his mouth. "Oh my God... Oh, my God!"
The others go into the salon and see the body. I follow after, hugging myself. Candi and Darkness are still disturbed by the first discovery, but at least they aren't shouting. Skye hasn't returned and Kat came back to listen to the next instructions.
