Hard to keep up | Lani | Chapter 1 | Trial | RE: Hanae, Miyako, Hisaya, Sora, Ryan, ATTN: Everyone
Heeding the rather annoying alarm, Lani stopped investigating whatever she’d been doing and went to the fountain. There, she listened to the rabbit, before going underground and emerging into a new area. A new face was waiting there for them, but first of all, Lani claimed one of the chairs. Afterwards, she listened to the strange man who hadn’t even introduced himself yet, before explaining what these boxes and teabags were about.
When everything was done and over, the trial began. Truthfully speaking, it was a bit hard to follow everyone, especially when they were starting to throw around more difficult words or when they were speaking in dialects, but she did her best to keep up. The green-haired student explained at least what the death cause was, though even with that, she still had troubles to really wrap her head around it. At least she knew which kind of things couldn’t have been responsible for Yuuma’s death.
More talking was going on, though Lani couldn’t help but throw Hanae a disapproving look after she admitted to licking a corpse. This was actually really disrespectful to Yuuma and gross. Lani couldn’t help but reprimand the other for that.
“This disrespectful. No matter reason, it is something you should not do. Respect the dead.”
That aside, most of the evidence she’d found was already presented, so Lani wasn’t too sure what she could add into this all herself. Nonetheless, it would be bad if she stayed quiet forever on that front, right? Everyone had to pull their own weight and hell would freeze over before she wouldn’t do such thing.
Though when Ataru asked for a moment to wish for Yuuma’s soul to arrive safely in the afterlife, Lani did that first - well, she’d done that before, but it never hurt to pray again, right?
When there was finally an opportunity to speak, Lani raised her voice:”Ah, hello everybunny!” Did she just make a goddamn pun, oh my god Lani, now’s not the time- or is she even aware of her mishap? At least she doesn’t stop there, continuing on as if she hasn’t said anything wrong:”I am Lani Pukahi, good at playing the Ukulele! Excuse me if I say things that were said again, it hard to follow everything.”
She bowed slightly, before straightening herself out. Her gaze was wandering, before it settled down on Miyako who presented the idea that the kitchen was the actual crime scene. Lani furrowed her eyebrows in bemusement.
“But this strange. Why take Yuuma’s life in kitchen, then bring her to bathroom? Makes even fewer sense if you think about her head. Had an injury, yes? I looked at spot with blood in male’s bathroom and it matched with wound. Cul… Culuru… um, bad guy must have hit her head there. To make her not, uh, consequence? No, not right word… Um, mean not awake.”
Why was japanese so hard.
“Something else, I have to say, too. Sora said it, but there was water outside bath, yes? Not colored too. Means that something happened, then bath…bombs? Were thrown afterwards. Found lots of wrappers in male’s bathroom with funny names. Why not burn them, too? Or did bad guy burn the other ones because of Yuuma’s talent? But twi… what is twinlight?”
Either way, Sora brought up the piles of ashes she’d found too. It was kind of getting hard to keep in speaking so much japanese, but guess she needed to suck it up and do her best!
“Found it strange as well. Leaves were there, too. It wasn’t much, but maybe clothes had been burnt? Just like purple fabric in oven. We should look at people’s clothes if they are burnt, yes? From what I see, some people were purple things. But killer could wear something new now. And if not letting people in like Ryan said, we can’t know everything. And cannot know if something is even amiss if no one was in room before. This would not be good.”
