After a brief break to wash the teatowel's blood off my hands, I was back in the dorm hallway. Ready to investigate once again.

First things first, I checked the nameplate on the dorm Danny's body was found in to certify what Pedro said was true. It was; Danny's name was on the nameplate.

...Not like I don't trust Pedro or anything like that.

Just...    Just double checking.

A-And anyway, there's no way he could've even committed the murder! We were all stuck in the changing rooms earlier!

...

...Actually...    About that 'incident'.

Maybe that has something to do with this.

Right. To the pool next, I guess.

...Wait.

There's another door that's open.

Taking a slight detour, I walked slowly towards the open door. I quickly checked the nameplate to make sure that I wasn't checking Danny's room again.

I wasn't.

In fact...    I was checking out Wendy's room.

...

Some slight confusion took a hold of my mind, as I peeked into the room. It seemed perfectly fine, for the most part.

...I'd better keep note of this.

Now then. Moving on.

I swiftly made my way to the staircase, hopping up it as fast as I could, soon reaching the metallic doors to the pool once again. The two elephants were also there, checking out some kind of broken, lengthy stick laying on the ground.

I hope nobody was behind me while I was going up the staircase...

Wait. Uh. Screw that thought.

"Hey, uh...    Emily? Edmond?"

"O-Oh. Hey Peppa." The older of the two replied, as the younger was busy scribbling something into his black sketchbook.

...I kinda forgot that he had that, actually.

"What're you investigating?"

"It's this mop on the floor." Edmond suddenly mentioned, "It seemed to be broken by some kind of harsh impact to the centre. Y'know, a little like when you snap a pencil."

"Wait a minute, uh-" I took one end of the broken stick into my hoof and flipped it upwards, nearly being smacked by the sudden tails of fabric glued on the end.

...Yeah, that's definitely a mop.

*'Mop' Has been added to the Truth Bullet section of your handbook.*

"Where did it come from?" I questioned.

"Uhm..." Emily started, "Janitor's closet."

"But doesn't that need a key to open it? Actually, better question - Doesn't Edmond have the key to open the closet?" I squinted lightly at the elephant in the forest green jacket. He turned to me skeptically.

"Yes, about that key." He began, "I had the key the whole time until today. Before I snoozed off during the pool party, I'm pretty sure that I had kept the key with me-"

"You put the key in your swimming trunks?"

"There's another trunk where I could've put it, however it's possible I would need surgery to get it out afterwards."

...Damn.

"Back to the case: After I had awoken and dashed out of the pool - Excuse me for doing that, by the way - I realised that I no longer had the key. I thought I had lost in the pool, so once investigation time started I went there at once to try and find it. However, it wasn't there. I've been checking the whole second floor for it, but so far no luck."

"So...     It's lost?"

"Yep."

"Ah...     Thanks for the information Edmond. And your account too."

"Oh, no problem."

*'Edmond's Account' Has been added to the Truth Bullet section of your handbook.*

"On the topic of accounts," Emily turned her quivery head to face me, "I think that I might have some information that could help."

"How so?" I replied.

"Well...     I believe that I'm the one who saw Danny last."

"Oh damn, uh...    Go ahead."

"So I was in the launderette, just messing around with the clothes. But then I got bored. So I left, and I ran into Danny."

"Did he say anything?" Edmond enquired.

"Not really...    He said that he was going to get a snack, so I just left him be at the time. But I noticed that he was going to the bar afterwards...      And there isn't any food there."

...

"...When did this happen?"

"Uh...    I think it was 15 or 20 minutes before the BDA..."

"Thank you, sis."

"Don't mention it..."

*'Emily's Account' Has been added to the Truth Bullet section of your handbook.*

"Oh, by the way Edmond, what are you writing in your sketchbook...?"

"Ah, that reminds me! What did you get for your motive?"

"Uhm...     A baseball bat?"

"Ok...      Thank you."

"You still haven't answered my question, you know."

"Sorry." Edmond sighed, showing me the page in his book. It was quite a dreadnought of words to read through, but I was able to understand it, nonetheless.

Alive:

Peppa  -  Baseball bat
George  -  Kitchen knife
Suzy  -  Sledgehammer
Danny  -  Axe
Rebecca  -  Crossbow
Richard  -  Bow and arrows
Pedro  -  Wooden sword
Zoë  -  Fencing sword
Emily  -  Spear
Edmond  -  Flamethrower
Candy  -  Shovel
Freddy  -  Nothing
Kylie  -  Buzzsaw

Deceased:

Delphine  -  Board with nails (?)
Wendy  -  Handgun
Gerald  -  Club

"What...    Is this?"

"It's a list of the weapons that were given in the motive, and who they were given to. I've been making this list since Monopotato gave us the motive. You were the last peron I needed to ask, actually." Edmond smiled, as I simply tried to memorise the list of various names and items.

*'Weapon List' Has been added to the Truth Bullet section of your handbook.*

Eventually, I shook my head, forgetting most of the list at once.

...

...Wait a minute.

"Emily...     You said that the mop came from the janitor's closet, right?"

"Uh...    Yeah?"

"And you also saw Danny heading to the bar?"

"Yes...?"

"Then we should-"

"We should probably check those places next." Edmond butted in.

"Hey. That's what I was going to say." I stared down the shorter elephant.

"...Sorry."

"Anyways. Let's check the...     Uh...      Let's check the janitor's closet first. Then we can see if it's locked or not." Emily put her head down, walking away from us two. We gradually trotted after her, stopping at the sight of an open door, in between the two upper library doors.

"Well, it's definitely open."

"Yeah." I nodded, almost passing it off as an oddity before a flash of hot pink caught my eye.

"Wait! Wait wait wait- Is that blood?"

"Uh..." Edmond took a few steps towards the open janitorial door, peeking inside.

"...Yeah. It's blood. It's like it dripped from somewhere."

"That's some interesting evidence..."

*'Janitorial Closet Bloodstain' Has been added to the Truth Bullet section of your handbook.*

"Now then," Edmond returned to us, "Onto the bar."

"Yeah." I shivered, as we all headed back down the hallway.
