INVESTIGATION

~Alex's POV~

"Oh my... Oh my god," I hear Skye mutter under her breath, a shaky tone to it.

Luca stares up at Charli's body with pure terror and heartbreak. They inhale sharply, frozen in their spot as they shake their head in denial. "Please, no... Please, anyone but her..."

Drake swallows, tearing his eyes away from the hanging body. He sighs and turns away. "... This is sick. It's one thing to kill, but it's another to do this... Can we get her down, please?"

"I-I," I stammer, staring up at Charli. I pick myself up from the ground and look around. "I don't know. Is there a box, a switch, or something?"

Skye nods and runs over to a wall near the back of the tent where she had retrieved the gymnast bar. Skye disappears behind a curtain, and not too long after, the bar begins to descend with a slow jolt. Soon enough, when Charli's in reach distance— her feet are on the ground, the bar stops and Skye reappears from behind the curtain.

Jaxx rushes up to Charli's body and unties whatever is holding her from the bar; it stays around her neck. The ice skater instantly falls back, but Jaxx catches her and gently lowers them onto the ground. Luca runs up to Charli's side and holds her face in their hands.

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," Luca mutters repeatedly, tapping the side of Charli's face. When she doesn't respond, Luca's grey-blue eyes are glistening with fresh tears. "C'mon, Char, don't do this to me," they beg, their voice breaking slightly.

As usual, Monokuma appears at the wrong time with an excited, gleeful aura radiating from him. He pumps his paws into the air.

"Woohoo! Another one bites the dust," Monokuma cheers with emphasis on the last word. "Man, I thought this would drag out until the sleep deprivation ate away at your brains! This is a creative death, hm? And a special case."

Luca glares up at the bear with tear-filled eyes. "What the hell do you mean "special case"?! This is as sick as the other murders."

Monokuma cackles, "Hahaha! You'll find out soon enough! Anyway, moving on to the case, I'm not letting you folk go around touching and prodding at stuff in this state."

"What does that mean?" Light asks in a hushed voice. His face shows evident discomfort and worry. 

"It means that you young adolescents need your beauty rest," Monokuma blissfully answers, a faint blush appearing on his face. "So, I'm sending ya off to bed! My lovely wife and I are saying it's officially bedtime."

As if on cue, Moon and Miss Misa appear in thin air. Moon's eyes are lit up by fury and Miss Misa is laughing to her heart's extent.

"Haha, I call dibs being the flower girl," She announces with a twinkle in her eye.

Moon hisses aggressively, "We are not married! And when was I the wife?! Like hell."

Monokuma sulks with mushrooms appearing around his head. "Because I'm the headmaster... Of course, I'd be the husband. And you can cook, right? With that tail of yours?"

"Yeah, so what?!"

The bear giggles, the blush spreading, "So, of course, you'd be my lovely wife! I'm hungry, go cook please."
