fifth investigation

[thecastle]

Many are on edge—this is a fact that no one would dare challenge. The motive had hit a lot of people harder than the one previous, and there are more than a few of you who would consider someone acting as a blessing more than anything. It still doesn't help in keeping thoughts of concern far away, as no one is eager about the thought of a comrade dying. Then, there is the reality that there would be the upcoming trial as well. However, in the end, nothing can be done to make any of this easy, and all of you must take whatever may come.

Now, who will be the first to venture outward into the halls? Undoubtedly, something must have occurred. It would be unfortunate if it didn't, no?

[ Like Jin his body is stiff and cold! His clothes are unusual for him, and they're not ones you've seen him wear before. Looking close, they're a little too small for him—but they would probably fit Jin just fine.

Other than that, his eyes are closed, his neck is bandaged, and there's a bruise on his cheek. ]

[irrationalities]

[Dare he unwrap that bandage--

Sure why not. He's not any kind of crime scene investigator but he'll try to be as careful as he can with the process.]

[thecastle]

[ When the bandages are removed Mahiro sees... nothing! Nah, just kidding. There's a slit across his neck. It's relatively clean and deep, but at an angle.

It shouldn't be a surprise that there's not much blood given where he was found, right? ]

[irrationalities]

[Okay, but were the bandages bloodied at all? It's been in water, but if there are any stains...

As for the slit, what direction is it angled in? Diagonally downwards to the right? Something else?]

[thecastle]

[ There's at most a thin slit where the wound was, not much else.

Annd... yup! Diagonally downwards to the right! ]

[irrationalities]

[Great??? Surely this information will be useful someday. But now, he'll look at the bandages. Traces of blood y/n?]

[thecastle]

[ On the bandage, there's at most a thin slit that matches the size and shape of the injury. And since he's looking at the bandage twice for extra thoroughness, he'll see that one of the ends is frayed. ]

[irrationalities]

[Well that sure is weird! Guess he'll pocket this bandage.

Okay, onto the rest of the body. Maybe he'll check out Miyamura's face - or rather, his closed eyes. Are they as blue as he remembers them being?!]

[thecastle]

[ Mahiro... leave staring deeply into Miyamura's eyes to Jin. There's nothing there for you to find. ]

[irrationalities]

[No!! Let him stare into the depths of that azure ocean one more time.

...Well anyways. Is there anything about that bruise on his cheek? And which side is it on?]

[thecastle]

[ The left side! You can't tell what made it, but it is a dark bruise and it is swollen. ]

[irrationalities]

[Too bad he only has high school biology under his belt!! Ah well, he can at least memorize what it looks like.

Right-o, those sure are weird huh!! They look important? They look important. So I guess it's time to strip Miyamura's body because clearly they should be submitted as evidence. He'll also be on the lookout for anything unusual on the body (or on the clothes) too I guess.

...Man. He's going further than Jin ever has, isn't he. That's just sad.]

[thecastle]

[ A-are you stripping the body...? Well, okay. Maybe you should take a look at those clothes when they're dry. The water's made the shirt even darker, making it hard to tell specifics. Something does look off though.

And, wow. Mahiro. Throwing shade on Jin even though he's right there? Not cool, man. Not cool.

... Except his instincts are right and there is something to see under Miyamura's shirt! His chest has a fair number of light bruises on it. ]

[irrationalities]

[Well, we can timeskip the clothes drying later?? But for now, those bruises have his attention. Anything particular about those bruises?]

[thecastle]

[ That or wait until trial. Either or! The bruises are mostly located on his abdomen and some are overlapping each other. Other than that, Mahiro can't make out much. ]

[irrationalities]

[Okay. Well, if he kinda awkwardly flips Miyamura over, is there anything on the back or should he move to getting rid of the pants.]

[thecastle]

[ Actually, that's it! There's nothing more to find here. Since the shirt can wait, do you need clarifications on any other evidence? ]

don't answer this tbh

[irrationalities]

[Probably not at the moment but he's still taking those pants and shoes so i guess the next question would be how Miyamura's boxers look--

or is it briefs?]

[thecastle]

[ It's boxers. ]
