(Matteo POV)
...
I gazed at myself in the mirror—bent over my bathroom sink while setting down a cup of water.
"God...that sucked..." I sighed as I barely managed to get a grip on my surroundings once more.
Glad I didn't faint or something before I got the medication... Hopefully, that should keep any vertigo in check...
...
I didn't notice it...but it looked like all those copies had been torn down when I came back...
...
Stepping off the stool I had placed in front of my sink, I grabbed my jacket and zipped it up to my collar. With my head finally in a more stable condition, I was able to navigate my drones to lock my door like usual without any challenge.
And so...I proceeded to the dining hall where everyone would be waiting for my arrival.
...
Needless to say, the commotion I heard was not something I was ecstatic about. I cracked the door open to peek inside.
"We shouldn't jump to conclusions like this...! It's...not like we know the specifics...!" Diana was shouting.
"Please. Do you really think this is something we can ignore?" Wenona scoffed, "...We have full confirmation that one of us is a killer — that much is a definite."
"...I-Indeed... However...this does beg the question of who posted these in the first place..." Ulysses pondered.
"...To desecrate one's darkest secrets...and display it for all to see... For a person could be so cowardly..." Jean grumbled.
"Y-Ya'll don't think...the person who had Matteo's..." Ingrid stammered.
"Fuck...! Whatever happened to promising to keep the secrets between two people!?" Kai panicked".
"...That clearly didn't mean anything to someone," Mark rolled his eyes.
"H-Hold on...! You can't just assume that it was one of us...!" Diana tried to defend.
"Do you mean...Tozu?" Desmond asked.
"Y-Yeah... 'C-Cause...we know he gave Matteo a lock to his room...right? W-Well what if this was something he planned ahead of time...because of what Matteo was saying...about being a 'star student' before..."
Diana clutched her bag's shoulder strap. "If that's something exclusive to him...maybe...this is the price that comes with it..."
"...Hmph... We already know what his 'star student' status means by now..." Wenona commented with a cold glare.
"A-ah...?"
"Surely you must've realized it by now... Take a close look at the wording... 'A murderer at age ten...walks free among you...'
Clearly, this suggests that not only did Matteo commit murder...but he also got away with his crime..."
"...Hang on... Isn't that just like...?" Kai trailed off, a sense of unease creeping up his spine.
