"... H-How old are you anyway, Ige?" Felix asked, genuine curiosity in his tone.

"That's so backhanded! You were soo backhanded there!" Ige said, stomping his feet.

"... H-How old are you anyway, Ige?" Felix asked, genuine curiosity in his tone. (excuse me the extra post feature didn't work for this post! hello?) "I'm only 23! Yeah, that's right! I might look old and wise and sagely, but I'm still pretty young! And young people get scared! And by the way, shoot me dead for being stressed out over being wrongly imprisoned by ugly beasts and demons! Shoot me dead! Do it!" Ige continued to whine and derail the conversation.

"Actually, I reckon we can rules out Mr. Lopez becase of the cup of coffee that was found abandoned on the reception counter in the library... He must've been there for a spell." Calvin points out. "Meanwhile we have nothing concrete to verifies where Ige was during the time when Mr. Fields was beefed, right?"

The mediator gasps, her talent on the line as Ige shows distress.
“Don’t worry Ige, I don’t think you’re creepy! I just feel bad that you don’t have a lot of people who you can relate to.”

"Meanwhile we have nothing concrete to verifies where Ige was during the time when Mr. Fields was beefed, right?" "I was in mind your business! During none of your beeswax!" Ige swung around to turn at Yugi. "And I'm ignoring you! All you're doing is mediating a knife in my chest!" He pointed rapidly at his chest, as if his analogy made any sense.

"Ige, refusing to tell us what you were up to is only throwing more suspicion your way..." Felix said with a frown.

"I was just doing miscellaneous things at the West Wing after I left the dodgeball game, ok?! That's all! I swear! Eventually, I went back to my room, but that's all!"
Ige held up his puppy, who continued to bite his hands.
"If you don't believe me, look at the face of this puppy!"
It was admittedly very cute.

Korrigan looks down at his podium in a seemingly remorseful fashion as Ige continues his rebuttal.

“Ige! I’m sure we can find a place for you in society! Like we still need a…” The teen trails off, desperate to think of something. “And, yeah you and I could hang out with other people there or in heavily-trafficked, well-lit parts of the school!”

"And what kind of miscellaneous things did you do exactly, Ige?" Calvin asked, an eyebrow raised.

"I..." Hella lowers her leg back down and without really looking at anyone she briefly says. "Stepped on a rock. In the library. That rock was my rock." "What do you mean it was your rock?" Nico asked.

"I don't know! Really! I don't! I can't will myself to remember something!"
Ige pointed his finger at Calvin.
"And why am I the only one on trial here?! It's not just me who wasn't at the dodgeball game! You, Su-Ah, and Kenji! Just cause Kenji wasn't in the library doesn't rule him out, considering he could have planted that any time as an alibi!"
He continued ranting on and on.
"By the way, maybe it's not any of the people who weren't at the game, to begin with! That Kameron guy always had his camera with him, how were we supposed to know he'd leave it in his dressing room anyways?! There's no way to premeditate that, so if we weren't there, there's no way we'd know to break into his dressing room, with familiars or not! In other words, maybe we have to look at the people who knew he didn't have his camera in the first place! Not only that he didn't have his camera, but that he specifically left it in his dressing room!"

“I know I went to the storage room to get the ball, but you guys can trust that it wasn’t me!” Yugi gives a smile and thumbs up. “I was too busy planning homecoming to plan a nefarious scheme!”
“Just for thoroughness, is there any chance the camera was stolen while we were still in the changing rooms?” She wonders aloud. “Mikoto would have been in one alone at least, not to suspect them so frivolously!”

"Su-Ah cannot be the killer, as she was with company during the time Mister Fields was murdered." Mikoto elucidates.
"I do not find it out of the question to assume he'd take his camera off during sport, but... I suppose you have a bit of a point there."
"Though, there was never a chance for anyone during the game to have sent their familiar off to swap the grips. Is that not correct? Given that, we were all accounted for during the game. Including our familiars."
"So, would it not have to be one of those not present? Or am I overlooking something...? If the maintenance room was undisturbed, that would mean the only access to the vents would be within the storage room, or the other changing rooms. I myself was alone in one, and the other student rooms had others to account for them. I suppose the killer could've waited in one of the remaining two empty changing rooms? Or perhaps they hid themselves in the storage room."
Mikoto turns to Yugi. "Did you notice anything strange, when you found the ball for our game?"

Mikoto says, deadpan. "We all changed before our teachers did. Unless one of our familiars were left behind in the rooms to snag it right as Mister Fields took it off, I can't see that as a possibility." "And if a familiar was absent while our teachers changed, we'd have noticed."

"Are you guys so sure you would have noticed a familiar sneaking off during any exciting parts of the game? It's not like you guys could have had eyes on each familiar the *entire* time."

Yugi listens to Mikoto, “Okay, yeah! That makes sense!”
“Oh so someone was in one of the empty changing rooms? That would be crazy! I didn’t see anything weird in the storage room at all!”
“Also, I think if the killer was looking for a chance to tamper with the camera, during a physical sport is a best guess!”

"Isn't this kind of a paradox, though?" Faye asked. "The killer can't have been in the dodgeball game, but they'd have to be in order to know mister Kameron would be in the infirmary. What are we missing, then?"

“Ah—“ Yugi looks like she wants to keep going with the current theory but realizes Faye has a point.
“Yeah, what? Maybe they just crept around the whole school looking for signs of Mr. Fields so they could kill him? Maybe we just got unlucky!” She looks worried.

What are we missing, then?" "Hrm... Well, if the maintenance room was undisturbed, that limits where the killer could've stolen the camera from. Given that we were quite loud, and that the vents carry noise easily, is it too far fetched to think that, while hidden in either one of the unused staff changing rooms, or the storage room, they overheard what happened during the game?" "Then, they'd know exactly where our teacher would be. Does that not make sense?"

“I think it’s possible they heard something through the changing room doors, but I think since the vents don’t connect to the gym I’m not sure they would have heard through them,” the girl with the enormous hair says, clearly unsure of herself.

[You can assume anyone leaving the gym after the dodgeball game was over would have been seen if they went through the foyer.]

Mikoto was silently lost in thought for a moment. "Could a familiar that can fly- that is, one with wings, enter the vents in the maintenance room without having its master disturb the spill on the floor?" Mikoto asks everyone around them.
"Would it be possible for one to send their flying familiar into the room without disturbing the scene? Ah, but then they'd likely not hear of what happened during the game, I suppose."
Mikoto hangs their head, depressed that they're a failure.

"And of our familiars, as far as I know, mine is the only one which can fly." Hawk heaved a deep sigh. "It seems that, once again, the net is too wide."
