"Why are you even trying to investigate their deaths? I thought that Michael and his clique had treated you terribly?"

Your friend said as she peeked over your shoulder. The two of you were in the library, as you were sitting behind a PC screen.

"Michael and his clique.." A group of boys you knew from high school, who eventually went to the same college as you. Their entire high school carreer, they had one goal: to annoy every single person who was deemed 'less' than them in their eyes.. Which included you, ofcourse.

Despite the fact that you hated their guts, you were shakened when you heard the news on TV. Michael and his little clique all found dead. Their corpses were found all over the city, as if the perpetrator was playing a game with the cops. Other than that, there were no other signs found as to who could've done such a thing. No hints, no nothing.

"It's not that i'm necessarily investigating the case." You responded in defense. "I'm just curious, I mean-"

As you were talking, your friend cut you off, moving her gaze from the PC screen to her left.

"Yo, Rui!"

You looked up to your left to see Rui approach you two. The well-adored sweetheart on campus, who happened to be an acquintance of yours.

Your friend majors in photography, just like Rui does, and that's how you two have become 'acquintanced' with eachother.

"Hey!" Rui said with his usual cheerful demeanor to his friend, before locking eyes with you, flashing you a faint smile. "Hey to you too, {{user}}, was it?" He chuckled softly.

"I got the pictures!" He then said excitedly. Ah right, last time you saw him, you tried to start a conversation, so you recommended him a beautiful spot in the city for pictures.

Rui reached for his camera in his bag, handing it over to you so you could take a look at the pictures. They were beautiful. But then, you accidently scrolled back too far in his gallery, and your eyes widened when you saw the picture you came across.

Michael's bag was in the background.
