.: Suzuya :.
Suzuya nodded a little bit, though the Albino knew better than to move too much, it was still really hard to resist not to rock around and pretend he was riding a legitimate horse, he was playful and had the tendency to like to do odd things after all.
So instead, The albino settled for nuzzling the side of the other's head, resting his own upon Komaeda's shoulder as he relaxed and let himself be carried by the taller boy, it was comfortable and Komaeda felt so warm, which instantly helped Suzuya feel safe and content.
"I'm fine, I'm fine~" He slowly chimed, though in reality Suzuya felt really woozy, tired, and was suffering for the third time in this week the effects of blood loss, nevertheless, the Albino failed to actually feel the pain of the arrows stabbed into his leg, or the blood lightly trickling form his shoulder, nor the pain of realizing that he had just lost Koko forever.
all the Albino focused on now was Komaeda's scent, and the gentle rocks as the other would move this way and that. being numb to nearly everything else at this point. ".. If I told you a secret, is it a bad time, desu?" The albino whispered, almost as if he didn't want to be heard and was hesitant.
.: Shinohara :.
"Good job, Evan! that assumption is correct, don't feel ashamed for not missing the small facts." He reassured Evan, for a second going back to his more fatherly state, however his tone soon turned grim once more as he spoke.
"From the looks of it.. it's true that Charles only invites those who are closest to his estates, other than that I'm still unclear on how he chooses his victims.. however, " Turning to looks at Hiyoko, Shinohara offered his own opinion.
"Listen, even I wasn't aware that people were going missing at Charles estate... we can't simply blame the guests, they were like anyone else that wound up at the wrong place, at the wrong time." Shinohara smiled softly, though a bit sorrowful as he recalled how excited Suzuya had been when he asked for permission to go to that very party at Charles estate, how the man wished that he never allowed the albino to go.
However, perhaps a rather fortunate or unfortunate event happened soon, expectantly a man soaked with rain water and bandages all over his body shoved the door to the caf? open, stumbling in as he held out a key in one hand, and the door with the other to keep his balance.
"Shinohara-san! I went to that mansion.. and I can verify all of your theories were true! that man is insane, mad with power.. I didn't believe you at first, and for that I apologize.. but you're the only one I can... go to now, the police won't listen to me, but they are there, I can confirm that every single guest is still there! I cannot say if they are alive or not, but if we don't make haste.. all shall perish!"
The man shrieked out, honestly the man must of looked simply mad, it was understandable no one would believe him, however, the man was actually Philip, a physics teacher that had been close friends with Shinohara for quite awhile, and even helped in Alice's private schooling long before. it was as if the last piece of the puzzle had come together, and it was all connected.
.: Charles :.
A look of relief washed over Charles as Jasper confirmed such a thing, sighing In content.
"I'm glad to know... That really does ease up my suspicions, I was getting a little paranoid about how you two were interacting, but if she's just another pawn to you, then surely it is fine." spoke with heart, having nothing but concern for Jasper if he had gotten stuck on something as pitiful as love.
"Now then, I'll be on my way... please do carry out the plans after you are finished with your own." He gave warning, and left down the hallways soon after.
