THE FIFTH INVESTIGATION

[airlockedmods]

[As usual, the day begins at seven a.m.

Good morning, Champions.]

[Clarith, sweetheart, you've just gotta stop investigating stuff one of these days.

There are two letters. Only one is for you, technically.]

[desperateprayer]

[ Clarith is just going to gasp, one hand going to her mouth. ]

...Junpei, these are... They're...

[ ...There might be tears in her eyes. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

What?

[He catches her expression and realization sinks in.]

Oh...

[...Should he read...?]

[desperateprayer]

...He... He thought he wasn't strong. That he was just useless.

[ ...This is hitting really close to home. But she'll pass him the letters. ]

[misanthropicprinciple]

[He doesn't get very far before he has to stop, eyes tightly closed and brows drawn in.]

Yeah, well. Hard not to think that when you've got the word staring you in the face every time you open your door.

[He hands the letters back. He's not even going to look at the one to his brothers, not right now.]

[desperateprayer]

[ She'll tuck them in a pocket on her dress, then nod. Once people start filing in, though, she's going to take the chance to go investigate the bathroom. Anything obvious besides, you know, the mess in the tub? ]

[airlockedmods]

[Queenie got the big puddle, which makes it a little more obvious that there are footprints left in bloody water on the floor, around the bathtub and toilet. They are still wet.]

[desperateprayer]

[ What size and how clear are they? ]

[airlockedmods]

[They are slightly larger than Choromatsu's feet, though obviously they can't be his anyway. He was barefoot.

They seem smaller than everyone else who was previously in here, though. Not to mention that none of them were walking around like that.]

[desperateprayer]

[ ...Well that. Narrows it down. There aren't many people who could match that, left. So. Noted. Anything else in the open, or is it time to start digging? ]

[airlockedmods]

[There is a bloody shiv in the corner of the room across from the bathtub.]

[desperateprayer]

[ She'll retrieve that and... Gods, does she have anything to wrap this up in to preserve it remotely, or are all the towels used? ]

[airlockedmods]

[There should be some towels left, yeah. The ones missing seem to have come from Room 10's side.]

[desperateprayer]

[ Okay, wrapping the shiv up and taking note of that. Anything else, or is she done? ]

[airlockedmods]

[There is also a smear of bloody water on the toilet seat.]

[desperateprayer]

[ ...Okay, she's. Going to go examine the toilet completely just in case something is hidden there. ]

[airlockedmods]

[There doesn't seem to be anything there.

Your investigation is now complete. There is nothing further to be found.]

[desperateprayer]

[ She's. Gonna go then. ]
