Chapter 3: Case Closed

So, as some of you may know, I'm working on a Ryoma-centric rewrite of DRV3. In this year-long project, I've written up a lot of drabbles and deleted scenes. I realize most of them probably won't be used in my fic, but some of them are so good I had to post them somewhere. So, here's my take on if Ryoma survived to chapter three. Please enjoy!

“A body has been discovered! Please make your way to the Ultimate Artist's Lab.”

Ryoma sighed, wondering who it could be. The last murder was inconclusive, resulting in Kirumi being executed. The odds of them guessing that right were slim to none, seeing as there was no evidence. Just a body and a maid with a motive.

As Ryoma stepped into the Ultimate Artist’s Research Lab, he was shocked to see blood. The last murder was a seemingly comatose body. This one had been stabbed and was laying in a pool of its own blood. It didn't take much to see that it had been Angie, with her white hair and bright yellow cardigan stained with her own blood. Hanging from the ceiling around her were wax figures of the four Ultimates they'd lost so far: Rantaro, Kaede, Tenko, and Kirumi. The wax Kaede had a golden katana sticking out of its chest. It was all so horribly macabre.

After the initial shock, the students began investigating. Ryoma looked up at the wax figures, focusing on the way they were tied. The ankles of each wax figure were neatly wrapped and suspended with lengths of rope. Ryoma found this peculiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. Then he looked at the gold leaf katana, a hunch forming as he thought. He looked over at Korekiyo, studying the way they investigated the room. The katana obviously came from the Anthropologists lab, but Korekiyo was more interested in the paints and Angie's art. That settled it.

“It's Korekiyo.” Ryoma announced casually. Everyone, including the Anthropologist, reacted in shock.

“H-how do you know that?” Shuichi was stunned.

“Yes, please explain to everyone where you got that idea…” Korekiyo hissed, narrowing their eyes at Ryoma.

“The katana. Korekiyo, this must be from your lab. It's the only place someone could have gotten something like this. Anyone could have grabbed it. I'd expected a professional in their work to be more upset when a piece of their collection goes missing. Especially to be used like this. Yet you had no reaction to it at all. Also the legs are tied too neatly. Someone just trying to get a point across wouldn't have cared how the legs were tied. In fact, I don't think any of us would go to the lengths of tying up wax figures. It looks like a ritual. Pretty obvious.” Ryoma put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. “Just a hunch though.”

Everyone stood in shocked silence staring at Ryoma. Korekiyo seemed puzzled, frustrated, but most of all impressed.

“W-well t-there’s still more to investigate….a-and maybe with more evidence….” Tsumugi tried.

“No, I think Ryoma has a point.” Shuichi agreed. “No one else could have pulled something like this off.”

i. really enjoyed the radio message this week

ID: a 2 panel comic featuring Crow and Petra Venj from Destiny. Panel 1: Crow is sitting cross-legged on a purple couch. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a white bird on it, in the same pattern as his in-game cloak, and dark gray shorts. There is a reddish-purple blanket draped around his shoulders. He is holding a tub of chocolate ice cream in his left hand and is lifting a spoonful of ice cream to his mouth with his right hand. He is crying and has a comically sad expression as he looks up at his ghost Glint, who is floating to the left and looks sad. Crow says: "What if Jolyon doesn't want to talk to me though? What if he doesn't like me anymore? Wah." There are multiple frowny faces surrounding him in speech bubbles. Panel 2: A black cellphone has been thrown from off screen and hit Crow in the face with a "bonk" sound effect. Crow is in the middle of tumbling over on the couch from the impact, spilling his ice cream. Glint looks alarmed. A cartoonish cutout of Petra's face is shouting angrily from off-screen: "Just call him, idiot. And stop eating all my ice cream."
