June mini-event

[ The following half-cryptic message goes up in the early morning before class, at the exact same time as two people are let into the faculty office to talk to the Vice Principal. ]

Sorry. I should have told everyone a lot sooner.
I know that.
But... if I did that, there was a chance it might have become about the merit points. And no matter what, I wanted to prevent that at any cost.
The person who did it might have been wrong... but they're still an important friend that we lived with.
That's something that shouldn't be reduced to a number.
The fact that it can be is what's messed up in the first place.
So maybe I wanted it to be a message. Not only for that person, but for the rest of us too.

It's a bright and sunny day. The heat is unbearable, with sunlight reflecting off the whites of the outer walls of the school building and seeming to concentrate right in the middle of the courtyard where it comes off the concrete in waves. In desperation for a breeze, you open a window— or perhaps you can't, and simply rattle the window latch futilely— when something large and black falls from the sky and smacks into the pavement, black turned red turned nausea and vertigo and the consequential darkness of the school when a blood sacrifice has been observed.
Black shadows students start to converge upon the body in the courtyard, although their efforts to drag the body into the expanding void in the auditorium can be thwarted by breaking a mirror and returning to reality— just in time to see a second body hit the pavement in the courtyard and send you right back. Escape once more and... a third body hits the ground, bright blue eyes staring lifelessly up at the sky above.
The sky stares back, dark storm clouds gathering in the horizon. Tonight, and through the weekend, it will rain.

✽ Please use the toplevels below for investigations. For some semblance of organization, there will be a separate toplevel for body investigation, location investigation, and suspect investigation, as well as one for general questions.
✽ As a reminder, npc students can open/close any window; pc students in classes with at least one rank (3-A, 3-B, 2-C, 2-D, 2-E, and all of the first year classes) can open/close windows in 1-B, 1-D, and 2-C; and pc students in classes that gained at least one rank in the past month (3-A, 2-C, 2-D, 2-E, 1-B, 1-D, and 1-E) can exit through the courtyard-facing window in 1-D.
✽ Unless there's an ic reason to argue otherwise, npc faculty will remove all three bodies by the end of the day.

How it is outside, there is nothing the nurse can do for the three bodies; she cannot bring a person back to life, only stave off death, but—
"They weren't dead," is what she tells him, "not before they hit the ground."
no subject
Even if Hinata is running at half-speed right now, that's still enough to stir something in his chest - his drive to figure out the truth that can't quite fade - and he'll ask her with a stricken expression, "I'm sorry, but... Can I ask how you know that for sure?"
no subject
But anyways, the nurse turns away from the window so she can speak with Hinata without looking outside. "I watched the life leave their eyes," she tells him, as a school nurse in a murder school who has lost students even as she tried to save them. Her window is the front row seat to what happened, and nobody else was in the nurse's office at the time to corroborate.

"...I'm sorry." He repeats it, but softer this time; even if he said it before, it's worth repeating, because he doesn't exactly want to make her think about it anymore than she already has to. But he knows from experience how important it is to not leave any stone unturned, even if the consequence for being wrong this time might not result in everyone dying.
"I know it might've been hard to tell anything else from here, but... There wasn't anything else you happened to see or hear, was there? Or anything that might hint at who did this or why?"
He won't press too much more if she becomes visibly distressed, but she also had the best vantage point of nearly anyone else, so he won't cease questioning her if it seems like there's anymore light she can shed on the situation.
no subject
"The timing...?" There's not much she can say that points to definitive evidence, but as somebody who was able to watch the entire thing without the disorientation and interruption of void school to break up the series of events: "Tagami-kun and Haida-kun fell almost one after the other, but there was several seconds between Haida-kun and Sena-kun."
no subject
"...Thank you, m'am. I don't know what it means yet, but... I feel like that could end up being very vital to figuring out what happened here."
But... Tagami and Haida, huh. Hinata will gather his courage one more time to glance out the window. Assuming nothing untoward has happened in the last few moments, aside from certain apparent bodynappings, he'll look to see if he can get a look at their features. If he can see well enough from here, he'll at least be able to confirm that they don't look familiar to him at all.
"Sena... I knew Sena, but..." Almost unconsciously, his hand goes to where he once had bandages wrapped around him. "I'd never met Tagami and Haida before. Do you know what they were like?"

But trying to solve things conclusively without any evidence is always a recipe for disaster. He's going to need to to start collecting some if he's going to get any close to figuring any of this out.
For now, he'll thank her and gently apologize once more. Unless there's anything else she has to tell him, Hinata will check on Rika for a bit before leaving to see if he can seek out some information about the higher floors or run into someone else who does.
