Frenzy (Pokémon Danganronpa)

Chapter 10: Irreversible

     Inu's POV

    I almost began to vomit, the sight of what was laying on the ground almost made my whole world spin. I coughed heavily as Grace immediately noticed my sickened glare at the corpse.

     "We f-found it...this morning, Leon found it first," Grace began to sob very lightly at the sight of the body once more. She looked even worse while staring directly at it. I shook my head, beginning to approach the corpse.

     "How is it fucking possible that someone murdered again!? I thought we all promised we weren't going to kill anymore!" I told myself as I couldn't believe what was in front of me. Talus the midday Lycanroc had died, his head bashed in the rock with no mercy.

     With that, the Lycanroc brothers have both been executed and murdered. This wasn't fair - none of this was supposed to happen. Talus seemed to be getting a little bit better at least. But there was no time to think, for all I know I could have been unconscious for a very long time after the body was discovered. I need to investigate right now before the trial starts - I can't go in there without knowing anything.

     And so...I began.

     The sight of the body was absolutely horrible, I didn't even want to glare at it - so even touching it would possibly make me faint. I can't believe I'm investigating another corpse, just after everyone denied the fact that we were going to murder one another. Sam was right, there is someone in this group that would kill another. I still don't get it at all.

     With horror, I stared at the body blankly. A voice began to call to me.

     "We better start investigating quick, the trial is going to start," a Manectric assured me as I nodded to her. Rayne was the first one to take the step in inspecting the body. "His head is bashed in - there seems to be no murder weapon but a boulder. It's chipped into pieces, there is no denying that he really was killed this way. Anyone who was seen outside alone with Talus could be potential suspects," Rayne mumbled to herself as I began to walk closer to the corpse. Talus wasn't a bad person, why would anyone murder him? Then again, Vince did not do anything wrong...but here we are...innocent people still getting killed to this day.

     "I...I'm going to check elsewhere for evidence...there could be something," I murmured as Rayne sighed and nodded to my statement. I slowly rushed out of the area with Grace following behind me. I felt so horrible - I didn't even want Grace to be next to me, I just wanted to be alone. I didn't want anyone else to see me in such a mess - especially now.

     I turned to a specific corner of the building and saw something strange entangled to a window. It was odd, neither of our dorm rooms had any windows - so seeing this made it quite alarming. I slowly began to trudge my way over to the object. It was a rope, a bloody rope. It seemed to be used due to the fact that it was attached to a window. Grace sighed from behind me.

     "Gruta just checked, this leads to Talus' room," the Eevee stated in an almost monotone voice, something I didn't want to hear from my best friend.

     "Talus has a window in his room? That's strange, my room didn't have one..."

     "My room didn't have one either - In fact, his room is the only one who has a window and seeing how it was used to leave the dorm itself, it's very important to the case," Grace informed me as I nodded. It was odd how Talus had the only window from all the dorms, was this the way the murderer could have gotten into his room?

     "Well, let's check it out then," I clutched the Eevee carefully as I began climbing the rope. There were some parts of the rope that seemed to be bloody - but I obviously avoided those parts. I finally made my way over to the open window and glared inside. The floor was a bloody mess, I nearly stopped gripping the rope until I finally pulled my leg over the frame. I peeked deeper inside the room to see a small note placed on the ground. It was a yellow note...something I've never seen before. I gripped it very carefully and began reading the words.
