The Body Swap Motive (KomaHina // HinaKoma)

PART 1 - Chapter 5

-Hajime-

I'm deep in thought.

     I swear to god. These trials are starting to mess with my mental health. I'm starting to think that it's impossible to keep living like this. To keep fighting for my life- no... everyone's life.

     Wait... this isn't what I should be thinking about.

     Who killed Mahiru? That's what my mind should be focused on. That's the main point of this class trial.

     Alright, let's think straight.

     So it's obvious the killer escaped through the window. But how? How could the culprit even reach that??

     Hell... what's even the point anymore...

     I think back to when all this started. The school trip, the killings, the trials.

"Don't worry Hinata-kun! I'm sure you will figure out the killer eventually! And when you do... your hope will shine brighter then anything the culprit expected!"

     Suddenly I'm pulled out of those trashy thoughts. I don't know how he does it, but he may just be the one that keeps me going throughout all this.

     He has a way of giving off this strange... calm aura.

I wake up.

     I don't remember falling asleep, but I
am awake now.

     I look around and find that I am in that warehouse. The same one he was tied up in once.

     I look to my left and, speak of the devil, he was standing right there, leaning against a wall, arms crossed.

     I don't know how I knew who he was, since he looked like me.

     I just knew.

"Hajime,"

     he said,

"we need to talk".
