#how friggin awesome they are
As we left the closet, I turned to Melissa.
“Melissa, I was thinking, should we be collecting alibis or something?”
“Hm… probably not.”
“Huh?! I thought that was a thing people do in criminal investigations?”
“Well, yes, but… okay, think about it this way. Kaiteki died around midnight, so where were you at that time?”
“I was asleep.”
“Were you alone?”
“Yeah?”
“So, there’s no one to back you up and prove you aren’t lying?”
“Yeah…”
“Do you think that anyone’s story is going to sound different from yours?”
“I guess I see your point… the culprit will obviously lie to prevent looking suspicious, and if anyone else had left their room during the night they’d probably lie to avoid being falsely accused.”
“Exactly, alibis can be a useful tool, but I don’t think they’re applicable here.”
Well, with that out of the way, all we can do is continue our investigation as best we can.
Haru and Okina seemed to be discussing something, but both looked rather out of sorts. Matsuo was trying his best to console Beau, Nobu was fanning themselves… it looked like Kyou was the only person who even noticed we’d left the closet.
Where should I start?
