“She’s gone nanners. Did someone else cast the facade spell on her, and it just wore off?”

“Nobody else got pranked by Neuron with a gun thing?” Yugi’s jaw drops. “Wait he told me not to tell anyone because he was going to do it some more! Did he lie?”

“I’m about to use my role as Disciplinarian to discipline our president.” Caitlin rolled up her sleeves. “Anything else yer hiding?”

"Oh.... I thought she was acting normal... I guess I just have an image of an extremely positive and energetic Yugi in my head. She's definitely normal now."
"What did Neuron do to you...? It doesn't matter anymore, since he's dead"

"... Why would Mr. Itsunoi do that? Pulling a prank like that?" Calvin made a thinking gesture. "Do you reckon he was trying to scare someone to get information or something?"

“I accept my discipline as long as I’m actually acting against our code of conduct! Or if you have an ethics-based argument!” Yugi says a bit frantically.
“Apparently though Neuron was going around pranking people who were alone but it was to increase our overall safety in a sense! Since it sure did scare me to be more careful!”
“I was alone at Suamp dressing a minor papercut really quick when I felt a metal barrel at the back of my head!”

"Do you recall what time this happened, Yugi?" Mikoto leans closer, but their tone is soft and gentle.

"... So you were separate from your group for a time," Hawk stated heavily. "You're leaving out quite a lot of information for someone who seems so particular about details."

“Days ago! Days ago! I was with my group all of today!” Yugi says urgently.
“After he put the gun to my head, he said he was going to take me for a walk and said a bit about how foolish I was for being alone! I was really scared but it turned out to be a prank! Then he showed me the fake gun! He said he would do a similar prank to more of you guys!”

"For legal reasons, that was a joke."

Mikoto shakes their head. "No, I've not encountered such a cowardly scheme before now. This is the first I'm hearing of it."
"Does this mean the real gun was not his? And the fake one was? No, no, there's not anywhere it could've come from beforehand... Unless it was taken from the school armoury? Were there firearms there?"

The players recall the armoury. It was wholly medieval-era weaponry.

Hawk inhaled deeply, closing his eyes.
"This is the first I've heard of it. Of any of it. Perhaps Mr. Itsunoi thought I was lax in my duties, and wished to aid me in them, but he should have brought that up with me first.
"No matter. The past is the past; lamenting what could have been will do none of us any favors."
He sighed, rubbing at his eyes. Once again, they were drawn in a circle.

"Well, yeah, probably. If he did that to me he would be dead on the spot. I didn't do it, though."

"Oh! Catilin, yer might be onto something with your deduction." Calvin points out. "If Mr. Itsunoi pulls the gun prank on the killer, I'd imagine it'd go very wrong as they would misunderstands Mr. Itsunoi's intentions. As in, a prank gone wrong."

“I thought it was weird but after he explained his reasoning and laughed at me, I figured that I shouldn’t get too mad!” Yugi says, grimacing. “I thought Neuron was contributing the best he knew he could and I thought it was all in good fun!” Yugi doesn’t seem completely convinced.
“Also, I really thought it was metal he pressed to my head. So… I guess if there was a real gun, I’d definitely think it was his. Just… he showed me the fake one so I didn’t know!”

"If the killer was victim to one of these stupid-sounding pranks, why didn't they just, oh I don't know, call out Neuron and have someone like Hawk take care of it?! You're all soo self-righteous!"

"From my understanding, most 17 year olds aren't too good with decision making. But this seems too pre-meditated to have been done on impulse... So I don't know."

“Are we sure? It seems most of this murder is a clean-up job if it happened with a nearby telescope!”
“Not that I suspect Neuron! I trusted him a lot!”

"If Yugi didn't cast the façade spell on herself, then who did?" Calvin made a thinking gesture. "Do you reckon the killer did that? Or was it the killer's accomplice?"

"The victim was killed instantly." Mikoto shakes their head. "To me, that means the statue crushing them is the only viable cause of death. I do not believe that can be accomplished with a telescope."

“Calvin?” Yugi gets down on her hands and knees, pressing her forehead to the ground. “For the last time! I’m clean! I’m just feeling myself more recently!”
“Please believe me!”
Yugi also listens to Mikoto, “of course! Our killer would have taken the last breath after thinking about it! But Neuron may have unintentionally started it!”

"I don't see how casting this spell on Yugi would benefit the murder at all... It only lasts a fraction of time, too. The effects would have worn out before the trial if that were the case."
"I agree, the telescope was probably only used to knock out Neuron during confrontation."

Mikoto, just as famed samurai Okita Souji, begins to cough up blood as if they had tuberculosis.
"We're doomed."
