FOURTH INVESTIGATION

INVESTIGATION

Good morning!

...Except it really isn't a good morning for the students at Ira Academy, after all. The deadline prescribed in this week's motive came just as quickly as the one's before it. It might be difficult to repel the sinking sense of dread that bleeds into Friday's early hours. That secret written on a slip of paper might even feel heavier for some. Perhaps it's Father's hate-filled words instead: I’m getting a little antsy about your performance. Do something to spice things up, won’t you? By now, is a grisly discovery every Friday morning a guarantee?

Though you're surely awake at the same time as usual--if you slept at all--there's a certain gloomier, late-year feeling to the artificial light keeping the Academy illuminated and providing the illusion of a complete world outside. There are no real seasons to speak of in this part of Closetland; one step into the playground proves that easily enough. And yet, as you emerge from your rooms, free to go wherever you wish today, it's hard to deny it. You've been enrolled here for quite a while, and time has passed.

Will autumn come and go before you get out of here?

... You know, I'm actually with Yasu on this one. There's a good chance the real mastermind behind this would get the advantage if Father reported the mysteries to them. Since, ya know, I don't think he got a say in some parts of this school if I remember correctly. Like the interior design of the monster trial room, for one.

I thought it'd be a way to pit them against each other, since he's apparently bothered by what happened to Nanami.

I mean, we all want to kill Father, but what are we supposed to DO if the real mastermind is someone even further out of our reach?

... I have no idea.

But you never know. Bigger fish might command smaller fish to work with them. We might lose certain people in the process. You wanna risk that?

But... We're risking just as much not moving, aren't we?

[like. They are right outside Dylan's room.

Do they really want to wait to make a move until it's narrowed down to the idiots??]
