POV - Nikei
Yoruko jumped in place as her name passed over Mikado's lips. "Uh... yes? What are you getting at...?" The gamer asked, slowly and tentatively.
"What are we getting at...? Seriously?" Hibiki scoffed.
"Yea, what are you getting at?!" Sora yelled angrily. "That's my friend you're talking to!"
"I did not kill her," Yoruko asserted. "My hands aren't covered in Emma's blood!"
"Yeah! There's no way my friend would ever kill someone!" Sora nodded. "I can prove Yoruko's innocence right fucking here!"
I took several deep breaths, to prepare myself for battle mentally.
Nikei Yomiuri VS Sora
Sora: Listen here, Nikei. Explain yourself immediately or face the consequences.
Sora: HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE YORUKO OF MURDER?!
Sora: She never killed Emma!
Sora: Yoruko is innocent! She's goddamn innocent!
ADVANCE!
Sora: Pulling the wool over my eyes!? And I thought I could trust you!
Sora: Please! Vote for me instead!
Sora: There's no clear evidence that Yoruko is the killer!
...evidence? ...Evidence!
Truth Blades: Jacket, Buttons and Thread
Nikei: Your words are like paper to me!
BREAK!
"These things were uncovered during Teruya's autospy." I explained.
"I see... maybe you slit Emma's throat, making her die of blood loss," reasoned Mikado.
"And then you sewed the buttons into her eyes, sewed her mouth shut, and then sewed the jacket into her flesh after she was already dead!" I added.
"Oh... that's like a SCP I read about once!" Iroha shuddered in horror.
"Dude, gnarly..." Hibiki sighed, her face in a twist between disgust and horror.
"I... but... but..." Yoruko stammered. I glanced over towards Sora - the usually stoic pop star was far more offended by the accusation than her friend did. Her face was an ugly shade of purplish-red, and her eyes were squinted so tightly they were almost shut.
"It was not my friend!" She screamed, angry tears beginning to stream down her face. "She had no reason to kill Emma! She'd never kill another human being! Even if she did, she'd never do so in such a fuckin' cruel, inhumane way! She respects life too much to do somethin' like that! No... you're dumb! You're fuckin' dumb!"
A pang of guilt caught my heart... Yoruko had always been friendly towards us all.
...Was it all a lie, though? And even if it was...
...Was she really willing to sacrifice her own friend...?
"If Kokoro was covered in blood at the scene of the crime, then why the fuck would Yoruko kill Emma?!" demanded Sora.
As her words reverberated in my mind, an image came to me. Murky and dark, from the depths of my memories. As it came to the surface, I saw its shape... and the final clue revealed itself. Suddenly, it all became clear.
I can prove it was you!
"There was a bottle of fake blood, right guys?" I asked.
"Oh, yes!" Mikado said.
