Hinata's grip tightened on him as Naegi's previously humorous and warm disposition slowly melted away to display how truly scared he was about his situation. Worry once more flashed across his face, and he tried to comfort Naegi as best as he could without going over the 'newfound friends' line. "H-hey, hold on-" he was interrupted by the lucky student burying his head in his chest, much to his surprise, his face slightly coloring. However, he did not protest this, putting a hand on his back as Naegi continued to speak, weeping all the while. "No one's going to die because of you," he said, firmly, "Nothing is going to happen. Your class will be fine. I'm sure of it!" Hinata tried to bring him back up again to look him in the eyes. "But now that we know we're in the same situation, and from the same school.. We can work together. It can't just be a coincidence, can it?"

"Yes...there's something appealing about her," Rei admitted, closing her eyes as she listened to the gentle music, "It...it's almost as if there's something's not...human about her." She suddenly gaped at Homura, shocked by her offer. Dancing? How do you do that? "I don't know how to dance..." The First Child managed to whisper after taking a deep breath.

Wiping at his eyes, Naegi nodded, a soft smile gracing his face. "You're... You're right. I shouldn't be so stressed over this, I... I should trust my classmates." Pulling away from Hinata, he let his hand leave his side and from his grasp, seeming calmer now. "I don't think it'd be a coincidence. It'd... It'd be really nice if we could work together."
As soon as the last word left his lips, the lights suddenly shut off, along with the curtains drawing on the windows.
"...Um, I'll go look for a light source. Everyone just stay together, okay?" The voice that spoke up was impossible to distinguish as Komaeda's or Naegi's, due to the fact their voices were pretty much the same. Footsteps echoed against the marble floor, and the creak of a door swinging open could be heard.

It was so peaceful, so quiet, no average person could have predicted what happened next.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash as someone was thrown into, presumably, a cupboard or shelf of some kind, followed by glass shattering, as if they had been thrown into the panes of the door.
"What are you doing...?!" The lucky student cried, only to be brutally cut off in a horrified gasp, and the sound of him getting struck across the face. It was obvious he fell over from the force, as he banged into the cabinet, causing the objects inside to fall out and onto the floor, shattering upon impact. What followed was a desperate plea, so pitiful that it would make anyone's stomach twist.
"N-no...!"
Then, it seemed he caught his attacker by the wrist. "P-please... "
What followed was the sounds of a horrid struggle, accompanied by the occasional thunk of someone getting thrown back against wood; Still, he spoke.
"You don't have to-- ghhk...!"
He never got to finish his sentence.
The student cut off into a strangled gasp, the desperate coughing and hacking making it evident he was being choked.
"D...on't... H... he...lp..."
Then, bones cracking under an iron grip.
Whoever was strangling him wanted him dead, and now, yet he still desperately clung to what little threads of life he had left.
The boy whispered two last unintelligible things before another snap echoed throughout the room, and he fell silent completely.
Deathly silent.
The last thing the blinkers could hear before they abruptly passed out was the dull clatter of something hitting the floor and the thunk of his head falling back against wood, his life fading away just like their consciousness had.
It had all happened so fast, there was nothing anyone could've done to prevent it, or even help the poor victim.

Noctin felt himself slowly coming back to consciousness. Horrible, horrible sounds rang in his ears. What had happened? Jolting awake, he was on his feet in an instant, breathing hard and ready to fight if something had happened. Something had to have happened. Those sounds... gritting his teeth, he lifted one hand unconsciously to his ear as if that would quiet the memory.
Fire awakened with a sharp breath, pushing herself quickly into a sitting position. What had happened? Her fingers reached for her bow and arrows, only to find that they were gone. She only had her fiddle, which seemed alright despite the fall. She looked around nervously, reaching out to check the others minds as if that would tell her what had happened. She hadn't heard much other than that horrible snapping sound. She didn't want to admit it, but it had sounded like a bone being shattered.

Hinata saw Naegi's face once last time before the room cut to black. An instinctive shout rose out of him, and when he waved a hand in front of him, the lucky student had apparently gone off somewhere else. He was about to call his name when he heard a familiar voice over the commotion of the other members. Unsure of where it was coming from, but trusting it, he could only stand there, and possibly eventually fumble his way to a wall in the ballroom. He hoped the lights came on before they had to resort to that..
Homura last saw Rei before she too succumbed to the darkness. She took a step forward, feeling herself tense, every bone in her body telling her there was something very, very wrong going to happen.
And it did. It was not before long she heard the sounds of a struggle, her head whipping around, trying to detect where it was coming from. But no.. the room was too spacious, and every noise and scream and sound of things breaking only added to the cacophony of death. Homura fought to keep herself from panicking. She was a soldier, sure, but this was... cruel. Undeniably, she was powerless, and she could only feel her horror rise with every sound. Eventually, she felt her eyes droop, and she stumbled forward before landing on the ground, biting back her fear before going out.
Hinata himself was disoriented, and the realization that someone, someone he knew was being murdered brutally in the same room, and he could do nothing to stop it. Panic rose from him in the form of a yelling plead to stop, though it was drowned by all the other noises.
Of course, the struggle ended, and Hinata passed out terrified and fighting to stay conscious. Hopefully, this was only a nightmare.. Too bad, huh?

There were two people who hadn't awoken with the rest of the group.
Naegi and Komaeda.
The room itself had taken a dark turn in atmosphere, oil leaking out of the ceiling, dripping ever so slowly down the wall. The light from the chandelier flickered often and the pictures, which had depicted beautiful evenings and flowers in each brushstroke, became more grim to fit the room change.
There was no sun anymore, merely a dark, cold empty night with no moon in sight, the stars themselves twinkling with a gloomy sense of despair. The flowers outside were all covered in a thick blanket of snow, covering the beauty that had bloomed within the field.
Most unnerving of all, however, was the corpse.
Leaning against the cabinet was, very obviously, the victim of the attack, the window panes of the doors shattered completely open. Surrounding him was shards of glass, some tainted with blood, some buried into his flesh. Cuts littered their body, creating tears in his clothes, which was very obviously when the dishes on the shelves had fallen out and crashed into the floor.
The person who died?
Of course, none other than Makoto Naegi, himself.
The part of his face that wasn't protected by the mask was marred with horrible gashes, the tears and blood that had dripped down his face still wet. His neck was severely bruised, and some blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth, head tilted at an unnatural angle. Yet, despite his horrid state, there was a soft smile on the boy's lips, and it seemed the moon that wasn't outside decided to tattoo itself to under his right eye.
Naegi's mask was only a few inches away from him on the floor, and his eyes were blissfully shut. If it weren't for all of his gruesome injuries, one would think he was still unconscious.
Back to the pictures.
One was a tattered feather against a black background, another a withered olive tree in an abandoned, barren, empty place, which had no life in sight. Just wilted flowers and dreary clouds. A third merely had gloved fingertips slowly sliding down a generic mask, smearing blood with its touch.
Komaeda himself was already out and about, kneeling down next to the body, two fingers placed against his neck to feel his pulse.
There was a frown on his face.

Homura gradually came by, slowly getting to her knees, her raven hair falling around her face and arms as she propped herself up. Her dress slightly slowed her from standing, and her head ached deeply, so it took her a few moments to become oriented. Eventually, she came to look at her surroundings and the others being roused from their own drowsiness, trying to see what had just happened.
Hinata, snapping wide awake, wobbled unsteadily to his feet, slipping off his mask and rubbing his forehead to get himself to snap out of it, a sinking feeling bogging his stomach. He pushed hair out of his forehead and took a deep breath, trying to shake the cloudiness from his vision. Two names already left his mouth, who's voices were utterly identical. One had pleaded for their life in the darkness from before and ultimately lost it, a sickening noise of bone snapping silencing them forever. He was already jumping to the worst conclusion. Hinata's gaze flickered all over the ballroom, trying to pinpoint where it had happened. He... refused to name the victim just yet. He didn't, he couldn't-

Before Bass could realize that his system spontaneously shut down, he was awakened by a sharp, snapping sound. Grunting in disappointment, he slowly backed away from the table, ready to let out a string of complaints. Except...he noticed how inhumane and violent sounded. Eager, the robot glanced around the room to find the cause. "What the hell was that noise anyways...?" He asked slowly.
Rei was jolted out of the darkness that blanketed her previously. Rubbing her eyes, she glanced at Homura and Dipper, hoping she could get an answer about the horrifying noise...it almost reminded her of the noise the EVAs made when they managed to crush an Angel...

Noctin shivered as he looked around the room. The sudden change in atmosphere was more than enough to put him on edge. But the scream. Where had the scream come fr- His thoughts cut out the moment his gaze landed on an all too familiar body. Nononono. "Naegi!" he cried, rushing forward, heedless of the broken glass and ceramic scattered across the floor. He couldn't be dead, there was no way-
But he knew. He knew with such unwavering certainty that Naegi was gone, it scared him. He fell to his knees next to Naegi, hardly noticing how the jagged edges stabbed through the fabric to pierce his skin. More wounds to add to the so far unnoticed thin little grazes on his cheek.
"He was strangled." His voice came out hoarse and broken and he felt as if he was drifting away and watching from above. "You can see because of the- of the- the bruises." He could almost see it happening. "But that wasn't what killed him," he continued in a horrified whisper. Naegi's neck was bent at an angle so unnatural it made Noctin's stomach turn. "His neck-" He broke off into a muffled sob, turning sharply away. He couldn't look anymore. He couldn't.
"WHO DID THIS?" he screamed, turning viciously on the others, tears streaming from his eyes.
Fire pushed herself to her feet and edged closer to the scene, her eyes wide. Naegi was indeed dead. There were no thoughts in his head, no spark of life in his body. She didn't know him, but he had seemed kind. Who could have done such a thing?

Hinata watched Noctin approach the body first, his feet planted to the ground and completely frozen with horror. He was only interrupted by his arms stinging, and, noticed the glass had been impacted so hard it flew and cut through his shirt, his own blood speckling the clean white of his outfit.
..He had been so close to Naegi when he died. A realization akin to survivor's guilt prickled down his spine. This can't be happening.
Gradually, Noctin's grieving rose to an anger that seemed to pierce his heart. Hinata's first instinct was to simply turn tail and run away from the Desolate, but he remained where he stood. If he ran, he would just look more suspicious anyways. He brushed off whatever glass he could from his body, eyes briefly flickering to Komaeda when he felt his eyes on him, who seemed to be taking it all in relative stride...
Homura watched, mind churning. Who would be possessed to do this? And who could possibly choke someone hard enough to snap the bone in their neck in this room? Unblinking, she glanced from person to person, wondering quietly. Just how long were we out for..?

"All we know is that Naegi-kun was strangled and had his neck broken, all while getting thrown into the cabinet, shattering the glass and causing the dishes to fall from the shelves. The shards cut through his skin, as well. I'd say he was thrown face first into the glass, seeing that the cuts on his face are far worse than the ones along his arms."
Komaeda's eyes never left his classmate's as he continued on, walking towards him at a relaxed pace.
"Which is why I want to ask..."
Suddenly grabbing Hinata's hand, his fingertips drifted down his arm, pressing ever so slightly into the cuts.
"...Why are your arms cut up like this, Hinata-kun? You're on the strong side as well, aren't you? Don't tell me..."
A sinister smile twisted Komaeda's face, eyes overcast with an equally suspicious shadow.
"...You killed Naegi-kun?"

Bass grimaced when he heard Noctin's despairing cry. As much as the robot hated to admit it...he wasn't quite familiar with the concept of death. Death was...like shutting down for eternity for humans? Did that mean it could be easily fixed? "He can get repaired, right?" He whispered slowly as he eyed the bloodied corpse. Despite his brash demeanor, Bass was overall oblivious to the gravity of the dejected situation.
"I'll go," Rei answered Dipper with a quick nod. Adjusting her white mask, she rose up from the chair, and began heading towards the commotion. She paused for a moment, silently waiting for the others to catch up to her.
