/And it means another one of them will be dead soon./
/But his sobs are too much. She can handle her own emotions, but when someone else's gets in the mix it's not so easy. She hesitantly reaches out and puts a hand on his shoulder, giving it a squeeze. She won't bother moping up her own tears./
[her consoling touch makes him break into tears completely, to the point where he can't keep his efforts up and only sits slumped next to the corpse]
[it's confusing and new to him to feel such shock and sadness over a person's death - why? and why didn't he react like this when the others died? he doesn't understand]
[puts his own hand on top of hers, but pulls it back immediately as he realises why both his hands are hurting so much]
/She lets out her own sob and drags him back a little by his shoulder, away from the mess of what was once a vibrant teen girl who didn't like her taking photos of her on the floor./
/Seeing him break down like this is only breaking her own resolve. She didn't even know her that well, but his reaction is feeding her own./
/She flinches at the sudden sting and pulls it away to wipe it on her skirt./
G-go wash off, d-don't hurt yourself.
/It comes out as gently as she can manage without choking./
[struggles to get up, but he feels terribly dazed]
[luckily the cook girl comes sweeping in to help and pulls him away]
[in his condition he can do nothing to console Maria - even if he was calm enough he wouldn't have any words to make her feel better about this situation]
/Oh no she's still there, hiding in a corner and taking photos from her unnoticed place. Her eyes are puffy from crying but her face is dry, and she glances at him only in recognition before going back to her camera's view on the world./
[keeps his voice low, mindful of the others who are in the room with them]
I don't know.
The people who were already here when I came... those were Nemo and the girl with the glasses and the small boy. And Bri - the cook - was behind me on the stairs, I think, so I am sure it wasn't her. She had been in the kitchen before, too.
Roma would just have killed Prudence with his magic, that's why I--
[frowns]
But maybe he wants to confuse us. We cannot be sure it wasn't him.
Oh, wait - you were here before me, too! You already knew about the other three, that's right.
[rubs his forehead; why does he have to suck so badly at remembering important details]
I agree that it would make sense for the killer to not come back, but... I don't know.
[[tries to collect his facts - not that he has many at all]
Prudence cannot have been in the acid for a long time, right? I think the one who killed her maybe did not have a lot of time to hide. If they went downstairs somebody would probably have met them. So many of us were walking around.
That is bad. It would have been a big help. And - you really believe that the murder wasn't just done because it was a good chance?
[that makes it so much worse]
But why would someone have disliked her so much? She wasn't really mean, or was she? Just tired-making...
Okay, let us think. If someone was her, uh... her enemy, then they probably will not tell that to anybody. Bri did not kill her, and you and I did not kill her, and of the others... I don't believe the small girl would have done it.
[that one has entered the room by now, but he doesn't look at her - it would only make her wary, right?]
She, um... she is not very strong, I think, so if she had hit Prudence too weakly that would have been dangerous. Prudence would have told the rest of us about it.
[wants to exclude the jumpy small boy as well for the same reason, but suddenly remembers something]
No, wait - I don't think Pitch was very strong, and she still killed Tony.
Ugh, it can have been anyone, right? I don't think Nemo did it... hm. Lev knows how to hit hard with an axe, but--
[but he's only suspecting him for personal reasons]
Janssen is the small boy's name? He has really been very very stressed, I think. I believe he wants to get out very much... but he also got so angry at Pitch for killing Tony! And... if he is so nervous, could he kill somebody without a big, ah... riziko? I think it is difficult to say if fear makes people better or worse at killing.
[sighs]
Nemo... I don't know. He has been yelling at the black-haired girl since I came in here after the announcement, and he looked very shocked... I do not think that he is only pretending that. And - you are right! Jonah, he has not been here. Or did he come when I was away? Perhaps we should go and look for him.
About Bri... I am only sure she did not do it because she came from downstairs after me. If she killed Prudence she would have been on this floor already, right? I believe that maybe the killer went into one of the other rooms here and went back into the laboratory after some other people were already inside, to not look suspicious... have you been the first one who arrived?
[stares at her, only to realise that she is still waiting for his final verdict]
And Lia... I, I don't think she killed Prudence, because...
["because she is my snoubenka and I don't want her to be a murderer" - but what kind of argument is that]
Because... because... she came with Lev! We must ask the him and the others if they saw her come from downstairs. That is important about Lev, too.
[he's not worried about how to transport the body - that's a bridge they can cross when they get there, provided they survive the trial]
I do not think we will be able to get everybody together... but we can try. I hope all our classmates will at least come to the trial if we cannot make them meet up now. Let each of us try to talk to as many people as we can, okay? Or... or do you think we should better stay together? I don't think someone will do a murder now, but...
/starts to say they should split up but then his hesitation about the Hungarian comes to mind and she shakes her head/
You're right. Let's stay together then and ask around. It won't be that hard. If they aren't here they're probably in their rooms or the cafeteria. There's not much else to do around here.
/just take photos, eat, freak out over dying people, and masturbate when you aren't scared out of your wits/
/she puts down here camera/
But we should asking everyone here where they were first.
/She watches him go and then goes herself to talk to both Lev and Lia to try to get what she can out of it... and turn off her camera just for Lev. He's such a baby./

What's his name, Janssen? He's been acting strange lately. Not like we all haven't but...

What about Nemo and that Jonah guy?

You seem pretty sure it's not the cook. What about the Hungarian?
