#you can't tell me that some of his old classmates wouldn't have been like 'y'know actually yeah that makes sense with hindsight.'

the mask that Light Yagami slathers on while he's in public feels like it was the result of asking someone who had been isolated in a bricked-off room for several years with nothing but a TV and a collection of Afterschool specials to build a person completely from scratch. he reads like a vague imitation of a human being that's been zipped into a pretty boy skin suit. "believe it or not, Ryuk, I'm actually a pretty popular guy-" I don't fucking know how, man. easily the most impressive thing that he ever managed to achieve, and yes, that includes his Almost Successful attempt at world domination.

A Complict Man.
Tumblr media
Man... What an odd and bizarre experience that must've been for you. I mean, I always assumed that most of Nanami-San's classmates were a bit eccentric, judging by her descriptions of them. but I had absolutely zero idea as to how insane most of 'em are. Must be hard having to deal with all of that, I assume?
Tumblr media
Oh, don't even get me started, dude. Most of the time, It's just usually throughout the entire day, somethin' absolutely batshit happens to occur while I'm at my dorms, working on whatever spiced-up gadgets I can assemble in my free time. It's so freakin' irritating and annoying to put up with!
Tumblr media
You and me both. I honestly think I wouldn't be able to handle that overwhelming amount of anxiety and pressure to deal with everything all at once. I'd would've just given up and called it an honest day, if I'm being truthful with you. And I'd thought Class 76th was the more eccentric one of the bunch!
Tumblr media
Nope. They're absolutely sane, compared to the rest of us. At least they didn't have people who speak nonstop gibberish or always blabber about some demonic crap! Makes me think that I'm one of the more level-headed, actually normal guys in the academy if I'm being serious.
Tumblr media
Hope's Peak isn't a stranger to recruiting some weird, erratic, and downright uncanny people a lot of the time. As long as you're talented and you pay the required amount of money, it doesn't matter what kind of people are attending this school.
Tumblr media
Sounds pretty stupid to me, considering that we've had people with incredibly shady talents attending this school before, do I even need to mention Ted Chikatilo, Ultimate PyroTechnician? I get it's his talent, but the guy's a literal arsonist. He's been itching for a chance to literally set the whole academy on fire, and yet he's still attending as a senior in the Main Course.
Tumblr media
Guy's a deranged, wacky, psycho, there's no doubt about it. He can't even stare at a smoking plate of takoyaki without having some sort of creepy orgaism about the wonderful joys of flames. Gives me the fuckin' creeps everytime I'd look at him.
Tumblr media
Since we're on the topic of discussing about Hope's Peak, there is something that I'm kinda curious about. Mind answering that for me?
Tumblr media
Huh? S-Sure, I'd be willing to answer that for you. So, what's the question you wanna ask? Is something wrong? Did anybody hurt you on the way here? Did you suffer an incident on the speedway? Those highways are filled with a lot of traffic these days, y'know?
Tumblr media
Nothing like that, but I appreciate the concern. I just had an epiphany since last week, and I was wondering if you can clear up any doubts I'd might have while explaining what I'm gonna say. Is that okay with you?
Tumblr media
I don't mind much, bro. Just...Tell me what's on your mind. Surely, it can't be that much of a weird question, right? There's gotta be a reason for why you're wanting to discuss this in private. Otherwise, why would you be just telling me this, all of a sudden?
Tumblr media
You've got a sharp mind, Souda. It's actually pretty impressive of how you're able to tell what my intentions are before I even said anything. Guess they don't call you the Ultimate Mechanic for nothing. But I think I should probably explain what I'm here for.
Tumblr media
About a couple months ago, there was an incident at the Old School Building on February 12th .The official testimony stated that at 5:03pm, the body of Taro Kurosaki, The Ultimate Actor was found severely bruised at the gymnasium , with blood spilling out from the right side of his forehead, while his throat had laceration marks around his neck, a clear sign that he'd been strangled around the cerebral hypoxia.
Tumblr media
Cerebral-what? The hell are you mumbling about?
Tumblr media
Let me finish. Cerebral hypoxia is a neurotic condition which is when you body doesn't have enough blood getting to your brain a lot. Strangely, the body didn't possess any kind of damage to the ligature mark , which is a pressure point on the neck, nor were there any external damages done to the cardioid arteries, which would've had a more likely chance of being damaged as a result of the attempt.
Tumblr media
However, the hyloid bone, aka the jaw bone, was one of the key functions of the neck which suffered serious injuries. Upon inspecting further, they found knife-like marks sketched near the areas of the lower jaw and the larnyx, aka voice box, where the bone could've suffer more damage had it been aimed right near the upper end of the jaw.
Tumblr media
If that knife went a further inch upwards and pierced through the jaw as the killer intended, Taro possibly would've ended up with severe swallowing problems. Hell, he might've been murdered that afternoon if It hadn't been for somebody intervening at the last moment, which both confused and shocked the killer and forced him to alter his plans, leaving Taro barely conscious, but alive.
Tumblr media
As for the ugly gash of blood dripping out from his forehead, It appears as if something solid had directly pummel him with a sheer amount of force and brute strength that It indirectly knocked him out , which caused him to suffer a bit of memory loss in regards to the entire incident. Judging from how the equipment located at the gym is prepared, I can assume that the culprit needed something durable yet strong enough in order to knock Taro out, so that explains where he received the gash from.
Tumblr media
The main problem with this is that the murder weapon wasn't identified during the investigation, as the culprit made sure to polish any form of gym equipment he would've used to bash Taro's head in before the police arrived. But the investigators forgot one important amount of evidence that they'd left out: The weight of the object that hit Taro was equivalent to that of a medium sized hammer.
Tumblr media
But instead of a hammer, it was a dumbbell. Wanna know how I managed to know that it was a dumbbell? Tsumiki-San found It inside one of the storage garages, where they store away all of the gymnasium equipment. She reported It to me once she was finished inspecting the contents of the storage closet and how exactly the dumbbell was used and in what position It was used to cave his skull.
Tumblr media
Y-You mean she was working with you to solve the murder this entire time?! And I didn't know?!
Tumblr media
She's been working with me to investigate the attempted murder case this entire time. While we were chatting and discussing with each other about space exploration and mechanics, Tsumiki-San was at Hope's Peak looking for any signs of proof about how the murder occurred and In what manner It played out. And the entirety of that info about the autopsy, the methods of strangulation and neck damage? That was all her doing.
Tumblr media
But I think you've been expecting me to sum up everything into one final conclusion, In order to wrap this confusing, complicated, mess for good. So I'll tell you: As I was investigating, I thought that it was pretty ridiculous that all of this could've been pulled off by a lone culprit. He had to bring some kind of an accomplice with him in order to organize all of this, because it's clear he couldn't've been clever enough to do all of this in a short amount of time.
Tumblr media
Not only would he had to somehow prepare a kidnapping attempt on Taro from the auditorium and drag him all the way to the gymnasium, but he also would've needed to gain access into even unlocking the storage room containing the dumbbells. I thought he was disguising himself as one of the faculty members for a brief moment, but then it dawned on me "How was the killer able to unlock the storage room containing all the equipment?".
Tumblr media
I know, right? Somehow, this shouldn't be possible to even happen, considering that storage rooms usually need some kind of key to unlock it, because it's so secured. Well, turns out that I eventually found the key that the culprit , and guess whose name I found on the key, Souda-San!
*After finishing that sentence, Hajime proceeds to take out a small black key within his right jean pocket. Inscribed on the front of the key, depicted with bold text and white, are the initials of Kazuichi Souda, which spell out the words " K. Souda"*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's... No... It's... Impossible...
Tumblr media
Oh really? I'd find that incredibly difficult to believe, Souda-San! No matter how much you wanna deny any involvement with this case, it's becoming rather clear that you were complicit in the attempted murder of Taro Kurosaki! That handwriting is clearly YOURS, Souda! Or aren't you gonna say that it isn't your handwriting?
Tumblr media
Stop trying to deny that you weren't involved in the entire investigation, because it's obvious that you're complicit in this case , no matter what angle you wanna view it from. So? Admit the truth, Souda-San! What motivated you to work with Taro's attempted killer and why?
