[sometime in the afternoon, after the student council wraps up for the day, someone takes control of the overhead system. the voice sounds some sort of way, but it starts anyway.]

Good afternoon! I’ve decided to break up the monotony and the dreadful tones we’ve had over this past week with a little game. It’s a scavenger hunt of sorts, because I have information on some of the murders that you all haven’t figured out.

But I’m not going to just give it to you, so you’ll have to participate!

I’ll give you the first clue.

“On the rare occasion that the average detective takes a break, he needs somewhere to store his things. Small, perhaps, but he may have something deadly to hide!”

Let’s see how you do!

[the audio cuts off...

but then a message pops up on the message boards.]

u can help each other out!! but u gotta do a little bit of leg work!! u wont win just by sitting around talking 2 each other on here!!

remember: friendship is magic!!! (˶◕‿◕˶✿)

oh, oh, oh!!

You have until midnight to find me.
Fail, and face erasure of the facts.

[He's silent for a stretch, staring down at the message as if there's something he could glean from it.

Maybe giving them this is the wrong thing to do... but Hinata wants to see it through.]

That's... the same for most of us, isn't it? That's why all of the transfer students want to leave.

[He leaves it ambiguous; Hinata doesn't know if he's dealing with a regular student or another transfer, here.]

I don't doubt your intelligence if you're making up clues like this, but nobody would be happy if you did something like this there, too.

What is it, exactly, that you're comparing us with? What do you want out of us?

[catphone]

it's almost like my job at home. kind of exhausting, really. kind of wanted to see if it would renew some life in me. maybe...you all will fall into despair after all.

there was someone who was able to come toe-to-toe to me. i wanted to see if the people here could compare to them.

maybe they're just...one of a kind...

[Wherever he might be, Hinata freezes, face going pale as his eyes read the line - then read it again, as if it'll change anything.

The unease is still there, a heavy weight.]

Hey... who the hell are you, really, talking about despair like you're Monokuma or something?

[Maybe it's nothing, maybe he's too wired to be triggered by phrases that sound like that after what he's been through.

But if it's not nothing, then...]

In any case... Even if that person was important to you... It doesn't make it right to put us through this trial to measure up to them.

eh? whos monkuma?? did i trigger smth??? i was just talking!!!

its just a little game...no ones getting hurt...

[futurebullets]

[...The people here really don't know, huh. Even the ones giving him war flashbacks by pulling the strings behind the scenes and watching everyone scurry around.]

...Forget it. It's not anyone important.

Actions taken callously will hurt others. Regardless of your intent, there's no way around that.

[catphone]

any sort of actions might hurt others
even ppl with good intentions will do that tbh

[futurebullets]

There's people with good intentions, and then there are those that act deliberately.

Do you still want me to believe you have good intentions?
