"This is the latest motive!" Monocrow laughed. "From now on, you have to eat the decaying corpses of your dead classmates!"
...Oh. Oh god...!
My eyes widened in horror as I realized what Monocrow was implying. Terrible thoughts flooded my mind... were we really going to eat the corpses of the deceased?
The bloody remnants of Hajime and Emma?
The crushed body of Yoruko?
The bludgeoned cadaver of Shinji?
The drowned corpse of Kanade?
The frozen drippings of Setsuka?
Their deaths replayed over and over in my head, one after the other and all at once.
Iroha zipped up her hoodie and sighed.
"... I really should have seen this coming after the starvation motive..." She sighed.
"Being locked in that damned Funhouse and nearly starved to death was bad..." Teruya said. "And now this? We're eating rotting corpses?!"
"Anyways," Monocrow said. "I gave Nikei and Mikado gifts!"
We left the diner.
Heading back to my cottage, I decided to unwrap my gift.
I gasped in horror as I saw what it was.
It was someone.
Their black hair was disheveled and, looking up closely, the corpse had rotted away partially, several layers of skin had decayed significantly, in addition to the fact that its face was mutilated beyond recognition. Looking at it up close sent something of a chill up my spine.
A terrifying familiar someone. I gasped in horror as I recognized the corpse's clothes.
"Am I dead?" I wondered.
Then I was hit with the smell. The smell of blood mixed with rotting flesh.
I barely had the time to open my mouth before my stomach violently emptied itself on the ground.
Mikado sat down in his cottage, feeling terrible. Not only did they have a new motive, but he'd also actually eaten a piece of Yuri's decaying corpse. The recollection made him sick.
The DVD was labelled: "The Truth."
Mikado put the DVD in the DVD player, and the video started.
White text appeared on a black background, saying:
Game Over
Nikei broke one of the rules.
Time for the punishment!
Then after a few seconds the screen flickered, and I could see someone sitting in a chair.
That person... it wasn't Nikei... No, it couldn't be Nikei... that can't be Nikei...
It was, however.
One of his hands were gone, however. As was his coat and hat.
A group of Monocrows... they were interviewing him.
