The gymnasium stands haunted by its own failed spectacle. Stage lights drone, stretching shadows like accusing fingers across the fourteen podiums. The drained piranha tank hangs above, a skeletal husk. Ryoma's bones are gone, but the scent of chlorinated water and violence lingers. Tenko sets her stance, energy crackling around her. Kokichi's lips part, but before a sound escapes, your voice, sharp as glass, cleaves the silence: "Himiko is the killer." Himiko chokes on a gasp. Tenko whirls, her eyes fierce. "How can you say that? You were her closest assistant!" The room constricts, every breath held, awaiting your defense.
