"Hiro!" Harvey exclaimed then hugged the man he was already familiar with. Everyone sighed with relief, except Leon. He was too busy thinking that this man who just joined could be the murderer or master mind. He seemed like he could fit the description. Strong, dressed in black, uncomfortable with this current situation, acting innocent. Well, his assumptions weren't the best. Dressed in black didn't prove anything, since Leon was also dressed in black. Anybody in this room could be acting innocent,plus, anyone would be uncomfortable with Harvey hugging them. Leon didn't know what to do. He couldn't tell who the murderer was, but he had a few good guesses apart from Hiro.
"Right, umm... can you let go of me, Harvey?" Hiro asked. Harvey let go and looked into Hiro's eyes. They hadn't changed since he last saw them. The usual dark brown. Hiro and Harvey were best friends, but Hiro was acting slightly... strange during this event. Hiro usually hugged Harvey back, but this time he was uncomfortable. Hiro started to say hello to the rest of the people in the room. He greeted them all differently. He shook Tao's hand, hugged Sayori, nodded at Leon, waved at Lucy. Then he looked to her side and asked:
"Where's Lunar? I would have thought you both would be together during all this..." Lucy just smiled a bit.
"She's resting for a bit, she just saw the body of her ex. She thought it was suicide due to how it was set up, it made her think it was her fault." Lucy explained. Hiro looked shocked.
"Oh. You mean Rita, don't you? I actually saw her before the lock down started. She seemed perfectly fine and happy to me." He said. Marley, Zac and Leon looked at each other. They all looked confused.
"I was thinking it was murder. Marley and Zac were there when it happened. The sound of snapping and mechanisms came through the hall way, followed by three screams. Two males, one female. She wouldn't scream that loud if she was killing herself." Lucy said. Everyone except Leon looked at her with admiration. Leon rolled his eyes;he didn't want somebody to be a better detective than him. He mumbled something that could only be described as cursing her name.
"Well now I can be placed in a room with Tao! Hiro and Harvey can be placed together!" Sayori exclaimed. She seemed so excited and Tao was almost confused.
"Alright." Leon sighed. The girl waited eagerly for his response. Leon thought for a while then said.
"Hiro and Harvey can be placed in a room together, but you are still by yourself. I suppose I can cope with Tao's nonsense." Sayori was furious. He had the audacity to be a snob, now to separate her from one of her friends.
"Tasty." Tao whispered. Leon shot him a glance, but all Tao did instead of acting scared, was chuckle.
"This is out of order, Leon! Let's see what I do for him: I help him with homework, I laugh at his jokes. Overall, I just take care of him! You, however, treat him like he's a peasant! It's like you think you rule over the world and that we are just a grain of sand that you can walk on. I'll tell you something, you are just as worthless as anybody here. For goodness sake, you almost killed someone! You are only making everyone think you're the murderer or master mind. I hope you get murdered!" Sayori yelled at Leon.
Everyone stared in shock. This was the first time anybody had seen Sayori yell at someone like that. Lunar walked in mid-argument, still with a look of shock and sorrow on her face. Tao looked at Leon, to Sayori, only to look at Leon again. Leon scoffed and walked to his room. Sayori went to hers too. It would be a while before either came out. Not long after, they heard a crash from Leon's room.
"I'll go check on him. I share a room with him anyway." Tao said, walking to the door.
"Does anybody want a drink?" Marley asked.
