The virtual landscape bled away into sterile lab lighting, leaving a vacuum of sound. **Miu:** "Why isn't that shithead Kokichi logging out?" **Shuichi:** "I'm not sure." **Miu:** "Then be useful and be sure. You're the detective." **Kiibo:** "Over here. Please, look." They clustered around Kokichi's crumpled body. Shuichi knelt, his eyes catching on the glittering fragments of a shattered poison bottle. **Shuichi:** "That's... the poison from my lab. Kokichi!" He tore the headset away. The sight beneath was grotesque—cerebral tissue weeping through a crack in his skull, tears mingling with the blood streaking his face. His body slid to the floor with a lifeless thud, still clinging to a whisper of life, unknown to them all.
