sixth victim
[At 7 AM on Friday, the mini-maps that allow the teleporter to be used all turn back on. Like any other time that the status quo has been abruptly restored at the end of the week, there's something ominous about it all the same. Especially on the fourth floor.]

[A HAND FLIES TO COVER HER MOUTH okay okay. Okay breathe Jane, breathe. Is there anything about the shape and size of the wound that might indicate what made it?]
no subject
Still, for however messy it is, there's something almost precise about it.]
no subject
Jane leans a little closer, pulling her cardigan sleeves down so she can cover her hands to get a better look at that wound. Specifically, we're checking if anything might be lodged in there.]
no subject
However, there is something silver and shiny in the pool of blood a few feet away.]
no subject
no subject
His eyes were already closed. There's a faint smudge of blood on his eyelids and across the bridge of his nose.]
no subject
no subject
His glasses are on his face, but not quite settled all the way up his nose, like they were put back by someone else.]
no subject
Okay, back to the shiny in the blood pool. What's the grand prize?]
no subject
The shiny is some kind of blade]
no subject
We're going to examine the blade. Would it be from a knife, a pocket utility tool, an ice skate, what?]
no subject
You know the squares where the skate is normally bolted onto the bottom of the boot?]

There's no way...
[But hey, let's be thorough and return to Bolton to check that head wound. Without sticking the blade in, would it be comparable enough to have been the murder weapon?]
no subject
no subject
Togami...I think I found the murder weapon.
no subject
[Really? Let's see...]
This seem to belong to an ice skate. Someone should go take a look.
[Good thing there are people they can count on for that!]
He must have been caught by surprise. I see nothing showing he tried to defend himself. He must have trusted the culprit enough to turn his back to them.
[Hmmmm...okay, maybe you're not the culprit, Jane? You're far from clear, but there are a couple people Togami is starting to think about, as impossible as it may be]

[If Bolton died from suffocation, then there must have been dead by the time his neck was cut. Why'd the culprit do that?
While Jane analyzes the wound, Togami instead goes to the hands. Any signs of defense? Anyone being strangled or suffocated would try to stop it, he thinks]
no subject
However, the clue to his suffocation might well be linked to the foamy, bright red blood gathered at the corners of his lips and covering his teeth.]
no subject
[Is that so? Hm. Togami is not like Kirigiri, he actually has to take a moment to prepare himself to check a body that far, but yeah, he has to. Open your mouth, Bolton. Did you choke on a MRE or something?]
no subject
no subject
Anything indicating why there's so much blood, enough to suffocate him?]
no subject
The hole in his neck? It didn't go all the way through the front, but it's not unbelievable that it punctured his trachea from behind.]
