Sonia Nevermind X Reader

Chapter Nine

⚠️Another trigger warning cuz feels⚠️

//Hajime's POV//
I look around the tower for possible clues to the perpetrator in this case. Upon investigating (Y/n)'s body, I found multiple bruises and scratches. They had lost a significant amount of blood due to their many injuries. But I found something interesting. A small container was on the floor, just hidden under (Y/n)'s clothes.
"Cyanide, this label reads cyanide." I spoke to myself. "Maybe they were poisoned, but how did the killer get them to drink this?"
Chiaki then called me over to another side of the room. There were torn pieces of clothes on the ground. Some were (Y/n)'s, their clothes were obviously ripped. But some didn't match the material their clothes were made of. Could this be the killer's clothes? Was there a struggle? I must continue to investigate, I need to get to the bottom of this.

//Kazuichi's POV//
I stand up and wipe the tears from my face, and help miss Sonia to her feet as well.
"Miss Sonia, I'm sorry. But I'm sure (Y/n) would want you to get out of here and live your best life." I say as I wipe the tears streaming down her cheeks. "I promise I will protect you, so you can live on. For (Y/n), dont give up hope."

She wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and regained her composure. I saw a hint of the light in her eyes return.
"Thank you, Kazuichi. For (Y/n), for you, and for everyone. I will not give up hope." She held her arm in front of her and held her bicep while flashing me a weak smile. I can tell she is in a lot of pain, but she is so strong. She will get through this.

//Gundham's POV//
I look for evidence with these mortals, if I do not look it will seem suspicious. I look over to Hajime and see him with a small bottle. I did not see that last night?
"And what might that peculiar object be?" I question.
"Its an empty bottle of Cyanide. I think (Y/n) might have been poisoned with it." He pondered while inspecting the pockets of my departed compeer. Even though the (U/t) had been a mere mortal, I have considered them an equal. A true "friend" you might say. (Y/n) must have drank the poison before they died, as to make it look like a murder that was really a suicide. I understand why they may have done this, they may have not considered a suicide a murder. Or they did not want Sonia to get the wrong idea. I however must remain vigilant for them and the others. Though I will stay true to myself to the very end!

I looked down to Hajime, who was holding a crumpled piece of paper In his hand. "Gundham, look at this." He opened it and showed it to me.

The note read:

"Dearest friends, I am afraid I cannot take this any longer. The pain from starvation, the despair in your eyes, the fear in us all. One of us will soon break, and kill another. I'm afraid it cannot be any of you. I plan on killing someone tonight. However, if I fail you shall find this note. For I will have taken my own life to save you all. I'm sorry, I truly am. And Sonia, I love you. Also, [REDACTED] please forgive me for trying to kill you. You probably didn't even know I did. Goodbye classmates. Goodbye Sonia... I promised I would save you no matter what..."

I stood there, petrified by the message. It had to be fake, (Y/n) had told me their plan. But I cannot out myself to the others. I'm afraid this note must be considered truthful until the real truth is brought into light. I must have faith in (Y/n).

⚠️️Serious Trigger Warning Here for people with PTSD or sensitive minds⚠️

//Sonia's POV//
After Kazuichi helped me look for the silver lining. I decided to muster up my courage and approach (Y/n). It took so much just to look down to them, but I needed to say goodbye. I got down on my knees beside them. Trying not to cry again, looking at their face so bruised and beaten. I reached out and took their hand in mine, gently rubbing my thumb on their cold wrist. Their eyes were a glossy shade of grey, for they had lost all color. They looked relaxed, no pain or sadness in their expression. As if, they were content. I couldn't hold in my tears any more. My eyes began to stream, I tried to speak through silent hics and sobs.
"(Y-y/n), *hic* I-I love you so much, my (prince/princess). I shall remember and cherish every moment we shared t-together. *hic* One day, I shall see you again. Rest easy, m-my love." I leaned down and planted one last kiss on their cold lips. I wiped my tears, and got back to my feet.
"Do not look so sad, dark queen. (Y/n) watches on from the afterlife, their love shall always be with you." I turned around to see Gundham standing before me. I could see sadness, and regret in his eyes.
"I must try to be strong for them. Maybe when we get out of here, we can find a ritual that will allow us to communicate with their spirit." I mustered up a smile. After that, I waved farewell. I am going to lie down for a bit before the trial. I need to build up my strength again. I will prevail, for my love.

For hope

For Gundham

For Kazuichi

For the others

For (Y/n)...
