My eyes widen with stun and confusion. Who is he? Did he really just ask who is he? I don't know who he is!

"Come on, Harvey," the killer encourages. "You aren't the smartest in the class like Michael or Courtney, but you pay more attention to vital details that others miss. You have all of the information you need, you just have to find it in your brain."

Okay, I an do this. My friends are counting on me. What do I know? My memory rewind to the beginning of the party. The knife that appeared on the counter in the kitchen is definitely the murder weapon. "Bryan," I ask. "Do you know what kind of knife this is." "Yeah, it's a hunting knife." So then this suggests that the killer hunts.

My memory flashes forward to when Jennifer shows me the security feeds. The killer is holding a pole vaulting pole to knock out each camera. That could suggest that the killer participates in track.

My memory flashes again to where Bryan, Bridgett, Courtney, and I ere hiding in the gym. The killer didn't know where we ere in the room, but he could tell because he tracked our phones. He also called one of our phones, so the killer must know everyones' phone numbers.

My memory flashes again to two points where I was confronted by the killer and survived. I punched him in the face the first time we encountered, and stabbed him in the right hand the second. The killer would definitely be injured.

My memory flashes forward again a few minutes after discovering Derek is still alive and was placed inside the vault. All three of us enter the vault. Something is kicked around the floor and stops in front of my feet. I pick it up and realize that it is a small shotgun shell. "What is this doing in here?" "Maybe that's what was holding the door open," Derek suggests. "I heard it drop when I opened the door to get out of here." "Maybe," I accept the hypothesis. "But why use a shotgun shell?" The shotgun shell was used for convenience. That suggests that the shell was easy for the killer to get their hands on. Maybe the killer hunts. How poetic.

My memory flashes minutes after discovering a secret corridors under this school and coming across Terry's body, then minutes later finding out that it is missing. "Why would someone move Terry's body?" "I think you're asking the wrong question." "Huh," Derek asks. "I think we should be asking, why would someone leave a body down here?" "I don't get it." "Don't you see? The killer wanted us to discover Terry's body. He wants us to know he is dead. That is the reason why Terry's body was here."

My memory flashes again to where I discovered Liam's body hanging from a basketball net. That could suggest that the killer is involved with basketball. I also noticed something unusual about Liam's body. He had a stab wound in his right hand and a bruise on his face. It suggests that Liam definitely was in a struggle, but why stab a guy in his hand and then punch him in the face.

Realization flood my mind. I look into the audience of dead bodies and see the one person I recently suspected of being the killer, and their body is not in the audience. My suspect also hunts, plays basketball, and participates in track. I look up to the masked psycho's identity has been in front of me the entire time. "I know who you are."
