Yeah so basically I couldn't sleep.

I know that this isn't an excuse for getting up in the dead of night and starting to look for red string around the entire house, but after finding it, there was no holding me back.

I'm guessing that it was the true crime podcast I listened to before trying to go to sleep that started this idea, so I blame everything on "Murder Board"

Well, long story short, the pin board that I stole from Ayato's room ages ago had to let go of cute photos and had to make room for murder plans. A murderer's board, so to speak.

I stand in front of the cork board with my hands on my hips. "Let's go"
I take the freshly printed out photos from my bed, flipping through them until I find the one I need. I pin it right in the middle, then I reach for the red string.

"Why the heck not...", I mumble, forming a little heart around the photo. I take another pin and look for the paper I wrote about half an hour ago, putting it right next to the picture.

Taeko Yamada, alias Senpai

• Class 3-2

Hanakō Yamada's older sister ➨ pretty good bond

Best friends with Osano Najimi, at least since four years if not longer ➨ Hanakō Saikougram

• loves books ➨ her "following" list

• loves nature ➨ look above

• sanrio obsession, likes cute "childish" things in general➨ look above above

• not many friends outside of Osano and Hanakō ➨ speculation

• caring ➨ Ayato

• strong sense of justice ➨ Ayato

• we're friends?

Before anyone asks how I know half of the stuff above, instead of sleeping, I was abusing the incognito mode and stalking not only "Senpai" over the Internet.

Taeko doesn't have a private account on Saikougram, but the only people that seem to be following her are classmates, Kiddo, Orange and some bots. She didn't post anything though.

Her brother, on the other hand, helped me a lot with my research.

I figured out that the Kiddo has a Saikougram account. It's a gold mine. Just minutes ago, I have been browsing through said account and I've found tons of pictures of Taeko, Hanakō and Osano together. The first picture was posted about four years ago, and all the photos were taken by Hanakō. I will be checking on his account every now and then, to see what else he's going to upload.

Speaking of him... I look at the now scattered photos on my blanket and quickly find the one I'm looking for.
His big, grey eyes look straight into the camera as the black haired boy seems to smile directly at me. I pin the photo close to his sister's and connect both with red string. I pin a slip or paper with the word "Siblings" over the line.

Hanakō Yamada, alias Kiddo

• Class 1-2

• Taeko Yamada's younger brother, admires her ➨ said it himself

• Also besties with Osano Najimi, at least 4 years

no other friends apparently

• active on Saikougram ➨ stalk!

• already gained his trust?

Osano has a private account, so I sadly couldn't stalk all his photos. However, his profile pic told me that he has a cat. I couldn't find out much about him over the Internet, so I'll have to get closer to him in real life. I connect his picture with both Taeko's and Hanakō's profiles.
