Dangan Ronpa Minecraft...FAILURE?!?

Life 2 - Chapter 20

I put my hand over my mouth and turned away, trying to withhold the bile rising in my throat.

"What...sick...inhumane person would do this!?"  Mitch exclaimed as he rubbed my back, him turned away from the sight as well.

I looked at Sky to see him in shock.

He didn't move.  He didn't even look like he was even breathing.

All of a sudden, he fell to his knees and cried out, "JINNNN!!!!"

My heart shattered from the despair in his voice.

I looked around a bit, refusing to turn my head in the slightest to the body.

Ian shook his head and walked out the door, probably to tell Sub and Crainer what it was...in a less grotesque (HOLY CRAP I SPELLED THAT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.  GO ME.) fashion.

Mark stared at the body in slightly disgusted fascination.

I couldn't see Seto or Ross, so I was gonna assume they were near the body.  I wouldn't dare check.

Barney was by Sky, hugging him softly and whispering things to him.  Sky just cried.

Quentin looked emotionless, but deep in his eyes were some signs of disgust and empathetic pain.

Once the bile had retreated, I spoke.  "S-Seto, Ross, do you see anything worthwhile?"

Ross sighed.  "The person cut the spinal cord, killing him instantly.  However, they then proceeded to do...this...."

"Any knives, sharp objects?  Any signs as to when he died?"  Mitch asked.

Seto spoke.  "The blood is still flowing, meaning it couldn't have been more than a few hours ago.  There's a knife under his hand, but this is clearly no suicide."

Barney helped Sky up and walked him out of the room.  I caught a snippet of Barney's words.

"---better place...."

Jin was definitely in a better place.

I grabbed Mitch's hand and said, "Let's go check out the rooms downstairs."

"Mk, biggums."  He replied.

We ran down the stairs and into the hallway.

We started checking each room, Mitch taking the left side, me the right.

I was about to check Mark's room when that annoying voice rang out.  "DING-A-LING, DING-A-LING, BOYO!! Time's up! Head to the Grand Hall for the Castle Trial!"

Mitch left Seto's room and looked at me.  He saw the terror in my eyes.

What if we guess wrong again?

We'd only have one more attempt.

He came over and kissed me.  I relaxed slightly.

"Biggums," he whispered, "don't worry.  We'll find out who did it."

I nodded and we proceeded to the Grand Hall.

Once everyone was in, including our now 5 dead friends' paintings, MonoKirby announced the start of the trial.

Quentin sighed.  "We don't have much to go on.  No one at the moment can be ruled out.  Unless...."

He put on his thinking face and turned to MonoKirby, who was standing on Ty's podium.

"MonoKirby, when the body announcement goes off, does the murderer count as one of the people to set it off?"

He thought for a moment.  "No, but I had the mastermind lower the number of people that needed to see the body from 3 to 2 because SOMEONE...."  He glared at me and Mitch.  I just stuck my tongue at him.  "...kinda abused that, boyo."
