Fourth.

[trustharder]

Friday morning starts as all mornings in the Vault do. The klaxons sound off at seven in the morning; some awaken easily, some don't, but the point remains that for better or worse, everyone has to leave the room they were sleeping in eventually. A few will be spared from the immediate knowledge that something is amiss – those whose rooms are tucked away in the corners of the dorms and don't have a clear view of the hallway may get a few seconds' peace of mind. However, as soon as the main hallway is visible it becomes obvious that something isn't right. It isn't like the first week, where the blood was contained to the far end of the building. This time, the blood starts in the dormitory hallway. It looks like it's starting near one of the dormitory rooms toward the middle of the floor. >Explore?

M-miss Megumi...

[Speedwagon's Just sort of found himself hanging around the doorway, watching the others go about their business, and Megumi... laying there.

There she is, dead. Like the other poor souls they've found.

She didn't deserve this.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Speedwagon-san...

[You are distracting the workers, golly.

Nah, after three crime scenes and having to deal with interlopers Mouri is getting used to it. He doesn't mind Speedwagon's presence, he's even taking a moment to approach and see if he can calm Speedwagon down]

Were you two close?

[isafraid]

[Hey Mouri, what a mess this is, right?]

Detective. [A tired nod as he realized he's being spoken to.]

...I wouldn't say too close, though we had chatted more often then not.

[...] It's bloody unbelievable.

[sleepingkogoro]

It is. She was always courteous. She...didn't deserve any of this.

[isafraid]

Not one bit of it.

[It's a mess. He doesn't want to look at it--her, look at... Megumi more then he has to.]

Seems we'll be seeing that trial room once again, very soon.

[sleepingkogoro]

The killer will be caught, don't doubt that.

[As a show of trust, Mouri decides to give a hint. It's true Speedwagon has light hair, but it isn't as if Speedwagon would kill Megumi, eh?]

I know there's a vital clue about the culprit's identity, so the trial may not last very long.
