First.

Most of the week has come and gone in relative peace; it's an uneasy peace, but the fact is that it exists, and sometimes that's the most one can ask for. Friday dawns like the rest of the week before it – the clock chimes the hour at seven, the doors to the kitchen and the mail room unlock and swing partially ajar of their own volition, and the building is quiet. Perhaps this week has passed relatively painlessly, and no one's decided to find out what your captor means by that last rule of his; perhaps the communal lifestyle has remained undisturbed, whether due to the lack of threat to everyone's well-being from any sort of outside source or just because no one sees a reason to push their luck. Or perhaps somebody decided to be a damn overachiever and take some initiative. Only one way to find out, isn't there? >Explore?

So it was his...

[Hmm. It seems obvious, but she might as well say it, right?]

That'd mean he came in here, right? He was...everything...started here.

[#TryingNotToCry, you know the drill.]

[sunsong]

I think that's probably likely...he liked to read, right? I mean, he was super fuckin' happy about getting that from the machine, and I saw him with it after he got it...maybe he decided to stay up late reading?

[ HE'S A NERD, THEY DO THAT.

...He was a nerd. Fuck. Although she seems like the cool head in a crisis type - and it's true - Sol's scowling now. It's not directed at Hibiki at all, but at the book, at the mess, at the fact someone's fucking dead. ]

...Shit. I'm gonna kick the shit out of whoever did this.

[nankurunaisa]

I...I dunno, we never really got the chance to talk much.

[And she sheds a few tears at that, because...because now she's never going to get the chance, and...

She sniffles, trying to regain some composure. It's difficult. It's really difficult, but anger helps. She nods in an agreement, adding an uncharacteristic "that bastard."]

H-hey. You said he was stabbed, right Or that someone else? Would that kinda wound still be...noticeable if it was on someone else?

[sunsong]

I think we should check his body for any wounds, yeah. And if there aren't any marks on him, we should check everyone else.

[ There was blood, so it had to have punctured SOMETHING. Or someone. ]

The blood had to come from somewhere, after all. Dunno if it's a someone, but...we have a responsibility to check.

[nankurunaisa]

I'll go tell them, okay? I mean...you're doing a better job here than I am, and Yuuri is trustworthy, too.

[All she's done is notice a chair and find a book, okay, she needs to deliver some news.]

Is that alright with ya?

[sunsong]

Yeah, it's fine with me. Thanks, Hibiki.

[ For conveying the news, she means. ...impulsively, she'll go over and hug the other girl, because Hibiki looks like she could use one right now. And maybe Sol could, too. ]

I'll catch up with you later.
