(3rd Person POV)

Sora was currently looking at the ceiling. She searched everywhere she thought was important. The bodies in the repository, the equipment room, the nurse's office...

The girl was now staring into space while whistling "The Ultimate Show", from Super Paper Mario. While she was doing all that, she was thinking about the entire case. More importantly, a certain someone...

Celeste. She made a vow that if anything happened, such as a murder, and Sora felt like she was a part of it, she wouldn't believe a single word that ran out of her lips.

She vowed that mostly out of distrust and cynicism, but after she heard what she said, now its justified.

Sora has no doubt in her mind that Celeste has something to do with this murder. Hell, she's 95% positive that she's the culprit! ...But now there's the matter of actually proving it...

"Shirayuki!" Sora was knocked out of her absent-minded state as she turned and saw Hina running towards her. "Big news! BIG NEWS!"

"Hm?" Sora tilted her head.

"We found Kirigiri!" Hina told her.

"Where is she?" Sora asked.

"Wait, I wasn't done. There's more big news!" Hina exclaimed. "Robo Justice showed up, too!" Seeing Sora raise an eyebrow, she continued. "It's Hiro wearing the costume! Anyway! As soon as you can, head to the pool, on the 2nd floor!"

Hina then dashed away, presumably to the second floor.

"Huh. To think Kiri and Hiro would show up at the same time..." Sora mused.

Coincidences aside, Sora walked off to the pool.

The blonde's feet stopped cold as she got to the pool, where the other students were at. There she found...

"..."

"Kiri..." Sora looked at her, then turned her head to the other elephant in the room. "And...is that...?"

"Phew! Man, I have have had the WORST day!" The person in the Robo Justice suit exclaimed. Everyone quickly recognized the voice.

"...Hiro...?" Makoto looked at the costume in confusion.

"I found Hiro. He was jammed into the pool room locker." Kyoko spoke up. "It looked like he was fast asleep, so I kicked him and woke him up."

"I still can't believe you kicked me! You coulda been a little more gentle about it." Hiro complained. "Like, I dunno, caress my face or somethin'!"

"...That's creepy." Kyoko deadpanned.

"Anyway... Kirigiri, where have you been all this time?" Makoto asked, looking at her. "You just disappeared all of a sudden, without a trace..."

Kyoko sighed. "There was something I had to check up on."

"What do you mean...?" Makoto inquired.

"Never mind." Kyoko tried to brush his concern off.

"I can't just never mind...!" Makoto responded.

"Never. Mind." Kyoko folded her arms and sternly glared at the boy, shutting him up. "More importantly..."

She says that, but...does she have any idea? Does she know people think she might be spying for the mastermind?

"First of all...Hiro, you need to explain to us why you're dressed like that." Kyoko requested.
