like a bitter stranger

Who: Everyone
What: Our monthly family meeting.
When: March 5th, 2000.
Where: Yogen dorms common room.
Warnings: Discussions of murder, suicide, child death...more?



[ A message goes up on the forums late Friday evening.

S.chidouin: Group meeting in the dorms Saturday. 12:00. No punching. No stabbing. I'll bring stickers.

If your character would not find a post from Sara worth listening too, Bonnie is wandering around, vaguely noting how important this meeting is, and how very much you should attend. No further details are forthcoming.

The meeting itself is a quiet affair. The fireplace is not lit, there are no snacks. Sara waits in the corner for everyone to arrive and get settled and then she clears her throat to speak.
]

As most of you know... [ It's hard to start, but her voice gets firmer as she goes on. ] We spent the last two months investigating Maya Arisu's murder. That case is solved. A few weeks ago, Bonnie-chan and I found the culprit.

Rantaro Amami killed Maya Arisu, Hiro Arisu, the vice principal and is presumably responsible for the scene with Keigo Arata. He is also dead. I just figured...everyone should know. To many people got hurt the last few months. I'm sorry.

[ She fiddles with her hair. That's all...she really has to say. There's not much more then that as the gist of it. ]

No. He wouldn't do something like that. He was a good person.

Is a good person not capable of killing anyone? Even if they really wanted something?
silentabyss: (033)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2022-03-05 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess.

[Honestly, he looks like he's about to cry.]

Everyone's capable of murder. But I thought he would be above it. I had faith in him...!
dokkans: (♡ a regular old love song?)

[personal profile] dokkans 2022-03-05 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sorry, Noah. That face just isn't swaying her. ]

I don't understand the idea of being "above" murder. After all, if he didn't want to get his hands dirty, he could've had someone else do it. That's the tricky thing about faith... the higher up on a pedestal you put someone, the harder it is when they fall.

[personal profile] silentabyss 2022-03-05 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
It would still be wrong to manipulate someone into killing! Good people don't do things like that.

[He's... not coping, but going through the stages of grief right now. Noah had cried offscreen for Amami, in absolute agony over waking up to hear that he had died, but—]

He was important to me. And I thought... I thought I could trust him.

[But like with everything else, Noah's a poor judge of character. He always is.]

This isn't the first time he's killed someONE, or might I remind you of September's fiasCO? Even if it wasn't "really Master Clamor", he still did IT. ( ...

[...]

Ebalon-kun, just because someone is a "good person" doesn't mean they can't do bad things. You can trust someone with your whole being, and follow their lead thinking they're doing what's best for you, and it still end up that way.

But more than that, you can't turn your eyes from any possibility, any truth. Sara and Bonnie-san don't have anything to gain from lying, especially not after how hard Sara's worked to try and uncover the truth. Please, don't dismiss their efforts.

[But he's sad and upset and when it comes down to it, his somewhat-waffly moral compass aside, he's a naive, hopeful kid at heart. And it sucks to have your faith in someone crushed underfoot so brutally.

It's like with Childe all over again.]


But I always thought he was better than that! That's the problem! I wanted to believe that he wasn't... capable of it.

Amami-kun wasn't a bad person.

[this is something she's sticking by, sorry.]

He wasn't the type to string people along, Sara, believe me. He may not have always told whole story, he may have kept things closer to his chest than he should have, but Amami-kun was not that sort of person. Even the best intentions lead to hell, right? It's just... we weren't the ones he had the best intentions for.

If you'd paid attention, maybe you could've prevented the last one... Ahaha, you're just pissed because you didn't do anything but make excuses, right?

[ Not couldn't. Didn't. The warning signs were all there. But they were all busy being afraid to doubt, running around in circles and infighting, dropping every thread in seconds. The method doesn't matter. The motive doesn't matter. Excuse after excuse.

He scoffs. ]


He was an idiot, but he at least he did something.
