✽ The silence breaks at six to welcome in another crisp Wednesday morning. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and there's a surprise waiting for anyone who decides to sludge through the snow to inspect the area in front of the auditorium outside. There's a deep indentation in the snow, just large enough for a frozen, charred body to fit in.
✽ There are a total of three bodies to find. All three bodies have now been found.

Character(s): Satou Kuroneko & Rio Ranger
Location/body: Mostly the 4th floor crime scene & a rooftop question
Action: Investigating the blood spatter patterns. Satou is trying to determine velocity (impact vs the arm being shaken around, number of blood spatter events,) and studying the floor (signs of a body being dragged? shoes or bare feet?)

Rooftop question: Would Satou notice the Vice Principal's body lines up with a rooftop fall in any way? She's wondering if the Vice Principal got pushed off/out a window. If the body is close to the school in that regard, she would be investigating nearby windows on the lower floors as well.

4th floor: There's definitely more than one blood splatter, looking like a struggle had occurred there from two things moving around quite a bit as they fought in place. They'd be able to see shoe prints at that puddle in the hallway, but none leading towards the left side of the school, suggesting something large was dragged, or either nobody walked or they managed to avoid stepping in the blood.

Rooftop: Yeah, it would line up with he being pushed off the roof or out a window, right around this dot so helpfully provided by Wolfie

Can anything meaningful be discerned about the shoe prints, or are they too messy?

I saw a note about some spatter being darker than the rest? Is this true? Would Satou be able to see these stains and discern if they were dark from (1) drying/being earlier blood stains or (2) a darker shade of blood-like liquid?

They look to be made by school issued shoes, but otherwise the most meaningful thing to discern is that there was a struggle and that whoever was wearing the shoes apparently did not walk off with them. If there's something specific they're trying to figure out, lmk!

Yes, some of the blood is darker than the rest. Satou may be able to guess that one is Icelandic blood and the other is multi-headed wolf or some other sort of being's blood. It has the same iron-y smell of blood and ??? one of the sciency people can probably test it in the science lab somehow and conclude that it is in fact blood
