(im dying squirtle)
Hinata, his heart pounding in his chest, stared with wide eyes at Komaeda as he grabbed his arms and made his accusation. Quickly, this shock turned into anger.. A natural response when being accused, but it likely just put more heat on him.
He tore himself out of Komaeda's grip suddenly, rubbing at his arms, as if trying to wipe away the mere memory of him touching his wounds. "Y-you- Komaeda- I didn't.. Why would I want to kill him-?!" Nevermind the betrayal in which he quickly forced down. Nevermind any feelings he had harbored before. There were more concerning matters, at the moment; Such as his fate.
Hinata was interrupted, and he backed away again when Noctin rounded on him, fire in his eyes and his balled fists at his sides shaking with blind rage as he yelled. "I didn't kill him," he responded, calm, yet his voice was a controlled tremble. "I was just.. I was close to him when the lights went out and when he di-die-" he closed his eyes. He couldn't finish. Instead, Hinata spoke again, staring Noctin with a leveled gaze. "A-as much as my words sound hollow, you need to believe me. I didn't kill him. I wouldn't." Of course, the Desolate looked ready to throttle him, right then and there, but he still persisted, despite the heave and shudder of his shoulders out of very obvious fear.
However, a thought occurred to him. Why.. Why was Komaeda up before any of the other party members aroused? He dealt with the situation so unusually apathetic.. At first, Hinata silently considered his calm disposition a good thing. Someone in the best mind looking for clues to a murder straightaway would help them. ..But Komaeda... His stomach twisted. And untwisted.
Eventually, Hinata spoke again, glancing over at his classmate. "..And why are you so eager to point fingers? Someone who was messing with the crime scene before any of us woke up.. Would you like to explain your own involvement, Komaeda?" It twisted again.

"...Ah."
Komaeda blinked blankly, as if he were unsure how to interpret this turn of events. Like he didn't predict an accusation towards himself.
"...Ha..."
Stumbling backwards, his hands suddenly flew to his arms, a wild look shimmering in his eyes, unable to be hidden by even the mask.
He took a raspy breath in, and then out. A wheeze.
His body quivered ever so slightly.
"Hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...!"
Suddenly exploding into uncontrollable, sinister laughter, he threw his head back, only making him seem more suspicious by the second.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Whoever this person was now, it was definitely not the friendly, gentle Komaeda Hinata had known mere seconds ago. It was someone more unstable, whose mental health was crumbling around him, grabbing his own two arms as if that would give him one last stand.
"Haha... Ahhh..."
Finally calming down from his fit, Komaeda wheezed again, one hand now dragging down his face, tearing the cat mask out of place. "...You're right, Hinata-kun. I killed him."
The mask slipped out of his grasp and clattered to the ground. The lucky student's body language very detached from reality and unstable, left hand still covering the side of his face.
"Haaa... But I just couldn't help myself! I couldn't help myself...! Do you think I didn't notice the way you blushed when he put his face in your chest? You're mine, Hinata-kun. You're mine and you should've known BETTER than to leave me... For what?"
Another small chuckle passed his lips.
"...For another piece of garbage? Another person who has zero talent? I thought your standards were so low as to be friends with someone like me, but seems like I was wrong..."
Komaeda was shaking now, uneven breaths leaving his lungs.
"So, when the lights shut off, I decided to kill Naegi-kun...!"
...
Suddenly, his posture was straight and stable again, hands dropped back to his sides.
"Or, at least, that's what I would say if I was the killer!"
The suspicious grin was gone now, replaced by his easygoing, amiable one. "Even if I wanted to kill Naegi-kun, I wouldn't be so sloppy as to leave such a mess at the crime scene. I'd prefer, ah... stabbing, maybe? It's not clean, but cleaner. And I certainly wouldn't murder him for such a petty reason! I don't think you even have a motive, either, Hinata-kun. So we're both in the clear!" A pause. "...For now, at least."
Komaeda turned on his heel, acting as if he had already forgotten the show he had just put on, meeting Noctin's eyes just as steadily as his voice was. "Anyways, I wanted to ask you something, Noctin-kun." He tilted his head all too innocently. "If you could describe yourself as a bird, what would it be? We already know Naegi-kun is a dove, albeit a dead one."

Glaring at Komaeda's spontaneous roar of laughter, Bass was prepared to threaten the lucky student to be quiet. However, he instantly stopped when it was discovered that he wasn't the killer. "Oh, come on! Quite playin' around!" He hissed impatiently, rolling his eyes, "Just hurry up and repair the human already! We don't have all day!" The robot heaved a sigh, glancing curiously at Noctin, yet remained soundless as he observed his rage.
Once Rei caught up to the group, her eyes widened when Noctin suddenly lashed out at Hinata. Ignoring her brief hesitance, the First Child strolled over to the group, stunned when she heard the conversation about a person's death. So...somebody was murdered? "...enough," She coldly whispered, "We have to find out who did this..."

Noctin didn't believe Hinata. "You never showed any interest in him before," he hissed, taking another step forward. "Why tonight? Why dance with him tonight or show him any special attention if this wasn't what you had planned?" He could feel murder pounding through him. Monster and destruction and who cared about being good anymore he was going to kill Hinata and add one more body to his quickly growing list.
The only thing that stopped him was Komaeda's laugh after Hinata threw the blame back. He froze, muscles tense as he slowly, slowly turned to watch.
'I killed him.'
The words seemed to stab into Noctin, suffocating him, breaking his bones. He listened in horror as Komaeda raved, shaking harder now as he stepped back, Hinata completely forgotten. No, no this was wrong he knew it. He knew it was wrong. His fingers twitched, curling into claws as Komaeda's voice came endlessly, spewing lies upon lies upon lies.
And then it ended. A choking sob escaped Noctin, though he quickly tried to smother it with his hands. Please...
The tears came harder as he slipped. Why would Komaeda say all that if it wasn't true? Why would he do something like that? It hurt so much. He ignored Komaeda's question, turning away sharply as he tried to pull himself back together. The soul slipped away and he came out of his defensive form. No longer aggressive, no longer accusing. He slowly fell to his knees, his face buried in his hands as ragged, gasping sobs escaped him.

someone should stab naegi 100 swords)) (4000 bees) Naegi is put into a large beehive and Monokuma closes the lid. When he was about to escape, a stinger comes in from the exterior and grazes his face. While Naegi is shocked with fear, more and more stingers are thrusted into the beehive. The beehive is wobbling in the beginning, but after a number of stingers, it stops moving. Monokuma peeked into the beehive and closes it hastily. He runs away and the screen blacks out.))

Hinata watched his breakdown. He was unmoving, bearing witness to him rant and rave his reasonings, his motives. He truly, definitely, most certainly was off the deep end.
..Even if he didn't kill Naegi.
The student tried to stop himself from moving forward again, but he couldn't. He was seized with a fear, a sudden surge of anger, and he raised his hand so quick and brought it to the side that he didn't even think he'd done it.
"We already know Naegi-kun is a dove, albeit a dead one.-"
Hinata slapped Komaeda, right as he closed his mouth. His own tears of grief gathered at the edges of his eyes, his hand shaking as it lowered back to his side. "Shut up." Contempt welled up in him, and in his words as he spat them out like a bitter poison.

Rei nodded a greeting to Dipper as he walked over to the crime scene. Her gaze was fixated on Noctin, whose sobs rang loudly in her ears. What was she suppose to do? She almost felt...pity for him. A brief image formed in her mind of black haired boy, tears streaming down his face when he managed to find her in the battlefield-- Shinji Ikari. She blinked slowly, trying to comprehend his feelings. The thought of losing someone you loved was an unfamiliar concept to her. Even if she was loyal to Commander Ikari, the thought of him perishing was something she was unable to imagine. Empathy...sympathy...compassion... Unknown. Did Ikari show her compassion when he saved her? Perhaps...but, she didn't know the answer. The thought of comforting a person seemed like a daunting task. But, she had to do it since nobody else was. Taking ginger steps towards Noctin, she gradually knelt beside him. Suddenly, she gently placed a hand on Noctin's shoulder, awkwardly murmuring, "It's okay...everything will be okay...?"
-----
"You missed some people screaming at each other since a human decided to shut down," Bass explained to Dipper, folding his arms over his chest, "Honestly...I don't really get what's going on, but...whatever. Is this weird place always this hectic?" The robot nearly yelled when Hinata delivered a stinging slap to Komaeda, wondering if they were about to fight.

Nore blinked into the ballroom and tripped over the table of refreshments, jumping back as everything tumbled and shattered to the floor. "Sorry 'bout that," she said with a wave of her arm, and slowly stood upright. She then slapped her palm to her forehead and swore under her breath. That table must have had snacks. She needed snacks. Nore approached the sound of Komaeda's laughter. "Hmm, there's a good atmosphere around here. Are you guys having a party or something?" she asked, stopping and shifting her weight. She wore her red jacket as usual, and her sunglasses were fairly scraped-up, not that she would mind.

Shock crossed Komaeda's face as he was hit, a red handprint forming on his cheek. Then, his eyes darted to Hinata, and--
"Ow, that hurt...!"
He whined.
His hands went to craddle his face, a hurt frown crossing his face. "That really, really hurt!" Finally, he sighed, and his arms were back at his side, expression serious again. "If you hated me so much, you could've said something... It would've felt better if you just slapped me with the restraining order and was done with it... Alright. I'll tell you what I was doing before everyone else woke up."
Reluctantly, the student reached into his trench coat, rummaging around in an inner pocket. "I pocketed this picture so no one could take it. See?" He pulled out a considerably small framed picture of an owl looming over a beaten and bloody dove, its body language scared and confused. "...Here." Handing it off to Hinata before he could protest, Komaeda turned again, getting in front of and down on his knees to level out with Noctin. Glancing briefly to Nore, he looked back at Hinata, as if expecting him to explain instead. "I won't need it anymore, anyways."
He was doing the exact opposite of 'shut up'.
"Noctin-kun... Be honest with me." The lucky student's voice carried a sickeningly sweet tone, almost as if he weren't taking the situation itself seriously. "...You were angry over Naegi-kun supposedly abandoning you for Hinata-kun. ...Did you kill him out of a selfish jealousy?" Sighing disapprovingly, he shook his head. "...I didn't think you'd go that far, and over such a petty, boring reason, too."

"The * is going on here?" Nore huffed. She had at least given it a chance, standing there and listening to Komaeda's ramblings. She reached down and picked up an apple off the floor, taking out a large chunk with one bite. "Are we in a room? Cause someone had better start looking for a way out," she said loudly through the mouthful of fruit.

"What the...they don't? Don't they sleep or whatever?" Bass questioned Dipper, intrigued by his explanation. His expression soured at the revelation, tilting his head to the side. Humans...could shut down forever and it isn't related to 'sleep' at all? "But, they can get fixed and stuff, right?" He hoped, gazing intently at the preteen.

Something was edging into the Noctin's mind. Something he could almost physically feel. It was dark and horrible and he didn't want it to come- A gentle hand rested on his shoulder. It was as if someone had thrown him into freezing water and was holding him there.
He could feel Naegi's hand on his cheek. He could feel Naegi choking out words as his grip crushed the boy's throat. He was losing patience. Naegi was taking too long to die.
Komaeda's words pounded into his skull. No, no he would never he could never, ever kill Naegi. He wouldn't do something like that! He wasn't a murderer!
But even so he let go of Naegi's throat. He could feel the spark of hope that maybe it was over. And just like that he snapped Naegi's neck.
"GET AWAY!" he screamed, shoving himself away. He hit the wall hard, clinging desperately to it as his chest heaved. Stumbling back, he crumpled in the corner, back pressed hard against the wall. He hadn't done it, he knew that hadn't been him. A shudder of revulsion shook him. He had been glad to do it.
He had been trying so hard to be good. DAMMIT HE THOUGHT HE HAD BEEN GETTING BETTER.
But he wasn't. Murderer. Murderermurderermurderer. A monster made only for destruction could never be anything but that. He would never be his own. He was always, always going to be somebody else's tool. He was too weak to change. He was too far gone. There was too much blood on his hands and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't wash it out, and now- now somebody he loved had paid the price thanks to his weak will.
He knew what had to be done. It was the only way.
"You have to kill me."
